FAQs

What if my child feels nervous about starting at the London Barking centre? 

Nerves are fine! Our tutors are patient and reassuring. We do a quick check-in and a simple first session so children feel safe and supported from the very beginning. Book a free trial to meet the tutors and look around before you decide.

Is your curriculum the same as in school? 

Yes. Our tuition is aligned to the school curriculum and reinforces school learning. Rather than focusing on homework, we develop the skills children need to succeed across subjects. 

Our tutors have worked with children from Eastbury Community School, Ripple Primary School and Greatfields School, and other local schools in the Barking area.

Can I rearrange my sessions? 

Yes. We’re open Tuesday to Saturday with flexible booking. If something comes up, contact the team and we’ll move your session to a more convenient time.

Do you support children with SEN? 

Absolutely! Whilst we are not SEN specialists, our individual approach and inclusive environment have proved highly successful with children with SEN such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia and more. 

We’ll discuss during your first visit how we can best support your child’s needs. It’s important to us to get SEN tuition right for every child.

Do you set homework? 

No, but your child will have unlimited access to our smart learning tool for extra practice at home whenever they like.

Is your tuition all done on computers? 

We combine the best of both worlds, utilising smart edtech alongside personalised support from real tutors. Your child will use a computer to answer tailored questions based on their abilities, whilst receiving instant help when they need it from our expert tutors.
