Private Tuition

Private tuition is often the key to a student’s educational success. Experience has shown that personal tuition gives a student a greater understanding of subject matter that they may have failed to grasp in a conventional classroom environment. This understanding can mean the difference between success and failure. It can also help students enjoy subjects that previously were inaccessible. Private tuition is beneficial for many reasons, including:

  • If students are falling behind, it enables them to catch up.
  • If they are aiming for places at university, it can help them ensure the required grades.
  • It can help them during stressful periods such as the run up to exams.
  • It can offer extra educational and emotional support.
  • It can keep the gifted interested in their studies, enabling them to reach their true potential.

    • Exam Preperation

    Working one-to-one with an experienced tutor often helps to substantially improve a student’s performance in exams by:

  • Helping to increase confidence and, in turn, decrease exam nerves.
  • Ensuring the student has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the syllabus.
  • Working through past-papers. This is essential and doing so with a tutor who not only knows the subject matter but all the tricks of the trade gives a student a real advantage.
  • Having someone to whom you can ask those questions that you have not perhaps had the time, opportunity or confidence to do so at school.
