FAQs

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

That’s totally normal. Our friendly Southampton team help children settle in quickly so they feel comfortable and supported right from their first session. A free trial is a great way to see how it works for yourself. 

Is your curriculum the same as in school? 

Yes. Our sessions follow the school curriculum, but tutors don’t cover homework. We strengthen understanding and strategies so children can thrive independently in class. We’ve supported learners from Bitterne Park School, St Anne’s Catholic School, Bevois Town Primary School and more!

Can I rearrange my sessions? 

Yes. With our Southampton centre open Tuesday to Saturday, families can choose times that work around school, work and weekend plans.

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.
