Our aim is to build a stable, long-term tutoring relationship in which learners can thrive both personally and academically. For this reason, we use a collaborative sign-up process that reflects the individual needs of each learner and family. This model of learning is not suitable for everyone, and some learners require a level of support that cannot be provided within this format. Recognising the importance of personalised education, there is also a clear commitment to learning within a small virtual classroom environment, alongside self-directed study outside of sessions. This creates shared responsibility. It is a two-way commitment. For that reason, we take care to ensure that this programme is the right fit for both families and tutors.

Tuition is delivered through three two-hour sessions each week. Each day focuses on a different topic and is integrated with wellbeing, personal development, and study skills. The programme includes structured home study and regular one-to-one meetings between parents, learners, and tutors to maintain continuity and direction. Tuition is £250 per month on a rolling basis. We follow core school holidays, although due to the limited weekly contact hours we continue provision through some periods such as half-term. Further details can be found in the Useful Information section. As class sizes are intentionally small, priority is given to families seeking a long-term working relationship.
