What parents say...

“Also can I just say a massive thank you too, Ellie was a bit apprehensive before her first session but when she came home last week she was absolutely buzzing, she loved her time spent there and felt so much happier even after just one session. So thank you, she has been so worried about her exams especially English.”
"Thank You."
“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

“Dear Howard Thank you so much for all these lessons you’ve been giving me!  They really have improved my work at school and now I can put all your help to good use with my SATs.  Thank you so much for everything! From Lewis”
Lewis (student)
At the time of writing this testimonial, my daughter has had only 5 sessions and her confidence and ability has increased significantly!  (Now) she talks of enjoying maths and of her abilities in maths instead of her inabilities, participates more in maths lessons at school and is keen to do her maths homework, both from school and from the sessions.  As a parent I am thrilled that her confidence has grown significantly and would recommend I Love to Learn without hesitation.

Alex says ” I learned more in three months than my whole time in the maths classroom at school. I went from dreading it to feeling much better about being there.” This Summer he was overjoyed to find that he had gone from a Grade 2 in his mocks up to a Grade 4 (C) pass in his final exam.

Monica (Tomek’s mum)
I was told at school that Harrison had fallen about 2 years behind in reading, writing and spelling. Harrison took to it straight away.  He has made fantastic progress and is meeting all his targets.  He loves the points and prizes that he collects for working so he comes out buzzing after every session!

Finding the Best School for Your Child

A Quick Guide to Choosing the Right School

A child’s education is a very high priority for most parents, but there are so many considerations. Of course, fees, cost of travel, and maybe even moving house have to be taken into consideration. This is a very big topic, so here are some suggestions.

Research: What Are the Options?

School type, cost, location, and culture—there are many factors to consider, so it’s time to make a list. It will need to be affordable, although do not despair; many private schools offer scholarships to the right candidate. If you are thinking of a fee-paying school, make sure you find out exactly how to apply for a scholarship and what the criteria are, as it will vary from school to school. Of course, you will want to choose the best school academically, but there are lots of other considerations.

For all school choices, it is important to do your research. This is much easier nowadays with so many great websites:

Talk About It: Time for a Family Meeting

If the child is older, you might want to consult with them. Where are his or her friends going? Is there a sport he or she wants to play? Where do most students go on to afterwards? Again, the emphasis needs to be on matching the child’s needs to the school, so make sure it is clear that is the aim. Of course, it will be up to the parents to make the final decision, but it is usually good to hear everyone’s opinion.

Visit, Ask, and Meet

There is no substitute for visiting an institution to get the feel of it. Go on the open days, talk to the pupils and teachers, and ask as many questions as possible. This will give you a lot of ‘soft’ information about the ethos and culture which you can’t pick up from a glossy brochure. Are the students confident to answer questions? Do they respect the teachers, and what kind of expectations do they have?

You do not want to feel that you are fighting against the school ethos when you visit and talk to teachers. Your child is going to spend a lot of time at school, which you hope will have a very positive influence on them for much of their early life.

Summary

Choosing the right school for your child involves considering various factors such as cost, location, and school culture. Begin by researching your options using online resources, and don’t forget to look into scholarship opportunities. Engage in family discussions to ensure the school meets your child’s needs and aspirations. Finally, visit schools, talk to students and teachers, and ask plenty of questions to get a true sense of the school’s environment and values.
