Discover the Secrets of Science
Thursday, July 26th, 2018Avoid the summer slump
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2018Brain drain… Is it a ‘thing’? Yes, without doubt. Many studies over the past 20 years have concluded that summer learning loss is real – not a myth. The facts are that children can: lose months of reading skills over the summer holiday take 6 weeks to regain skills that they ended the previous academic […]
Change your career – become a private tutor
Wednesday, June 27th, 2018Working in education is one of the best careers in the world! You can become a life changer and dream maker…. It’s true. Imagine a child with zero confidence who doesn’t believe they are worth anything. Under your guidance, they start to feel more confident and skilled – leaving them feeling they can achieve anything!

When is it time to call in a private tutor?
Tuesday, June 5th, 2018You know yourself that life doesn’t always go to plan. As adults we learn to pick ourselves up and keep going. At least sometimes… Our children, however, might feel so stuck in a learning maze that they can’t find the obvious way out. And it happens a lot more common than you’d think. Has your child missed school? Perhaps your child […]
Expect the unexpected in your exams
Thursday, May 24th, 2018Every year, the GCSE and A Level examiners outdo themselves by throwing in cryptic questions which only Sherlock Holmes could crack!

Tutoring young people day in day out, we understand how important this point in your life is to you. We also know what a struggle it can be to get through it all – especially when you are not feeling confident. […]
Beat exam anxiety this summer
Thursday, April 26th, 2018Is your child facing GCSEs and A Levels this year? Look out for signs of panic: sleeplessness, complaints that they just can’t revise, restlessness and moody behaviour. The problem with stress is that it stops you from thinking straight. If you can’t think, you can’t process information. And when that happens, an already anxious head becomes overwhelmed fast. How […]
Is your child sitting SATs?
Saturday, April 14th, 2018Sitting exams is an inevitable fact of school life. The two key tests at Primary level are the Year 2 and Year 6 SATs. As a parent, it’s natural to worry about how your child might do. However, it’s important not to be over-anxious about them. Primary school can be a tough environment for our children anyway. […]
Do You Suffer From Homework Hell?
Monday, March 26th, 2018Homework hell. It can certainly feel like this if your child would rather do anything but! We explored how homework can be a battleground a few years back. Yet clearly this issue has not gone away… In fact, it’s worsened as a recent Ofsted survey reveals. Though many parents welcome homework as a way for their child to gain independent learning skills, […]

Thursday, March 15th, 2018This time of year feels like GCSE and A Level students are wading through a mud swamp! With teachers still completing the syllabus, practicals and coursework to finish – and endless mocks on top – it’s not surprising if your teenager feels up against it just now.
