Each child will have their own unique course of work, and will be tutored individually, rather than as part of a group. This means that each child can work at the level that suits them - whether this is stretching and challenging them, or providing extra support. Their courses will also be mapped to the National Curriculum, meaning that we will be reinforcing the work that they are doing in the classroom.

We are the only tuition provider to have commissioned an independent study into the progress that our members make. This study was conducted by the University of Reading over the academic year 2011-12, and showed significant progress in both literacy and maths, as well as improvements in attitudes towards learning.

Parents looking for good tuition should look for a tutor who is able to get children to share ideas, work independently and compete. They should have high expectations of the children they teach, reward success and help children to understand difficult concepts with a range of examples.

Tutors should use a range of materials so that children can listen, see and do.
