What are Custom Courses?
Custom courses are personalised courses made entirely for your child so your child gains maximum benefit from their tuition. Suitable for all ages from year 2 to year 11 and in any subject, for any exam. We create a course based on your requirements/ your child’s current ability, and provide an experienced tutor/teacher to instruct your child on a one to one basis.
Our ‘Custom courses’ are based on three main steps which is summarised as ACT: Assess, Customise and Teach.
ASSESS: The first step is to understand your child’s strengths, weaknesses, and academic goals. We do this through a written assessment, which evaluates their understanding and skill level. This assessment can be completed at home or at our London centre, depending on your preference.
CUSTOMISE: Based on the assessment results, we design a personalised study plan outlining: the topics to be covered, the recommended number of sessions/weeks and a quotation for the tailored plan. Our average course consists of 4-8 sessions over 4-6 weeks. For example, if your 10-year-old child is preparing for the 11+ exams and completes an assessment in English and Maths, we may identify weaknesses in angles, fractions, and creative writing. Based on this, we would create a 6-week plan covering these areas, with a quote of £390 for six one-to-one tutoring sessions plus £95 for the assessment.
TEACH: An experienced tutor is carefully matched to your child, ensuring an engaging and effective learning experience. You can choose for sessions to be delivered face-to-face at our Saturday school or online at a convenient time. The tutor follows the personalised plan, assigns homework after each session, and provides detailed feedback. At the end of the course, you will receive a comprehensive report on your child’s progress, along with further recommendations.
Why a Custom Course?
- STRUCTURED AND PERSONALISEDÂ – With custom courses, the 3 ACT stages (assess, customise and teach) provide a clear outlook for parents so they can gauge their child’s weaknesses, strengths and the progress they have made. This structured approach is incredibly useful for students who would benefit from gaining confidence on their unique weaknesses, for those who would like to stay ahead in preparation for their exams, and for children who would benefit from revising at the end of their exam journey.
- IDEAL FOR ANY AGE – Because the courses are completely customised to your child’s needs, children of all ages and in preparation of any exams would benefit from this custom course.
- TOP TUTORS Our experienced tutors and teachers are matched to your child’s personality and unique goals to ensure maximum benefit in the teaching sessions. Most of our tutors and teachers have an average experience of 8+ years, making them highly qualified in pedagogy, subject knowledge and the exam procedures.
- HIGH QUALITY RESOURCES – Our tutors have a variety of excellent resources at hand – in almost every subject, giving your child exactly what they need to succeed at their level. Only the highest quality resources are used to enrich the learning experience enabling us to fully prepare and motivate students for exam preparation.
- FLEXIBILITY – We offer online sessions and face to face sessions in our Victoria venue. We know that each child is unique and many work better face to face rather than online which is why we offer both options for our students.
