FAQs
What if my child feels nervous about starting at the Islington centre?
It’s normal to feel a little unsure at first. Our tutors take time to make every child feel comfortable and settled from their very first visit. To see for yourself, why not book a free trial and visit our Islington centre?
Is your curriculum the same as in school?
Yes - our tuition is mapped to the school curriculum and adapted to individual needs. We’ve supported learners from Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School, St Mary Magdalene Academy and Thornhill Primary School.
Can I rearrange my sessions?
Yes - we’re flexible and happy to reschedule sessions to fit around busy family life. Our Islington centre is open Tuesday through Saturday, giving plenty of options.
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.
