GROUP SESSIONS

Our group tutorials are in small groups of normally 2 or 3 students per tutor.

Group sessions are normally two hour sessions, however for younger students one hour may be more appropriate.

MINI-CLASSES

Apart from individual or small group tuition, lessons are also available in mini-classes when several students require tuition in the same subject. This may be the case when, for example, students in the same school or university class wish to receive additional private tuition. Mini-classes can be advantageous for the sharing of information and in the reduction of tuition costs.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

We recognise that everyone learns in different ways and have varying needs. With this in mind we cater to each individual student’s requirements. We have many years of experience in teaching students with learning difficulties in mathematics and science and are sensitive to these difficulties. We aim to provide each student with the patience and understanding that they deserve, no matter how seemingly trivial or difficult the problem may be.

Our teaching philosophy is for students to gain a thorough and deep understanding of their course material. It is only by seeing the underlying connections that we truly learn.
