What parents say...

She is a quiet girl and I was concerned that her poor spelling was not being corrected.  When she saw the progress Bella was making in such a short time, I enrolled her for Maths as well!   It has transformed her thinking and she now has the self-esteem to ask questions in both numeracy and literacy.
Ms R Temple
We are so pleased that Mahera has got a FULL BURSARY for the local girl’s high school in Portsmouth.  She has been to your centre before for tuition but we came back in November so she could get ready for the exams.   She has worked so hard and Linda has really encouraged her in her writing!  Thanks so much!
Mahera's Mum
Thank you so much for helping me with my maths!  I have come along much more in maths lessons at school! Hopefully, depending on whether I need help when I go to Secondary School I might come back again. (I hope so)  Thank you again. Madison.

winner “We had planned to stop the tutoring after the 11+ exam, but with the next lockdown and more disruption to her education, we quickly relented when she literally begged us to continue going! The sessions are adjusted to her needs and she describes them as ‘really fun’ and she likes it that the work is specific to her level and much more individualised than the class work at school.”

Albie
Albie had been diagnosed with mild dyslexia and his reading age was around 2 years behind!  The standard in private school is often higher, so we were worried about the Entrance Exams.  Soon after he enrolled he started making rapid progress.  The school say he is now Level  5 in literacy and the teacher can see a lot of difference.  His reading age has shot up and the gaps in maths have been filled in and he has caught up amazingly quickly. It has definitely, definitely made a difference and I have recommended the centre to my friends.

She says “I Love to Learn Now!”

Mariana brought her daughter to us as she was having a few problems with maths at school.  She liked it so much that now she comes for English as well!  Mariana says that now “She is more confident with math now and she’s coming to I Love to Learn for pleasure.  She is very happy with her teacher, she says she is very kind and patient.”

“Joshua got his GCSE results today and I just wanted to let you know how he got on. He got an 8 in English Language and a 7 in English Literature, he has always struggled with English and wouldn’t of been able to achieve these amazing grades without yours and Adam’s help, if you could please let him know how Joshua done. So once again thank you for all the work you did with him.” Emily (parent) 2021

What is a T-Level Vocational Qualification?

Explaining T-Level Qualifications

studentThe T-Level qualification is a new technical education route introduced in the UK, designed to offer students a vocational alternative to A-Levels. You may have heard of BTECs which they are designed to replace.  The T-Level is designed to give 16-18 year olds more work experience and more access to challenging vocational qualifications.   The main difference is the amount of time the qualification allows for students to work in industry.

T-Levels are two-year technical courses that combine classroom learning with industry placements. They were introduced to provide young people with practical skills and experience needed to succeed in the workplace. T-Levels were launched in September 2020, with the aim of offering 25 different subjects by 2023.

Example Subjects

Digital Production

Agricultural, Environmental and Animal Care

Catering and Hospitality

Construction

Creative and Design

Health & Science

Education and Childcare

Sales, Marketing Procurement

Engineering and Manufacturing

Business Administration

Legal, Finance Accounting

Strengths
1. Industry-Relevant Skills: T-Levels are designed in collaboration with employers to ensure that students gain the skills and knowledgework experience needed in the workplace.
2. Work Placement: Each T-Level includes a substantial work placement, giving students real-world experience and helping them build valuable connections in their chosen industry.
3. Clear Pathways: T-Levels offer clear pathways to employment or further study, providing students with a direct route into their chosen career.
4. Recognition: T-Levels are recognised by many universities and employers, providing students with a credible qualification.

Summary

T-Levels are still relatively new, and there may be some stigma attached to vocational education compared to traditional academic routes like A-Levels.  Some students have been disappointed that they have not been as widely accepted by universities as promised.  While there are plans to expand the range of subjects available, the initial offering of T-Levels is limited compared to the wide range of subjects available through A-Levels.  This has improved more recently with the release of more qualifications, however, the resourcing and teaching of each subject my vary.

It is will be important for students and parents to make sure that the course they apply to has good quality teaching and is properly resourced.  Also, be aware that students will need to do 315 hours of work placement.  These placements are an important part of the course, but again may vary in quality.  Make sure the institution is well organised to place students is appropriate positions as this will have a big impact on the student’s experience.Overall, T-Levels offer an innovative approach to technical education in the UK, providing students with valuable skills and experience to succeed in their chosen careers. However, there are still challenges to overcome in terms of implementation and perception.
