What parents say...

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!

Alex had been tested in Year 4 for dyslexia and he came out mildly dyslexic for spelling.  He has a poor short term memory, and we were concerned about him going to Senior School with these problems. Alex started off a bit ‘anti’, but now he agrees that his writing is better and the improvement has been commented on by teachers.  We are so pleased he is getting professional help, and are especially pleased that he now see the benefit and is self-motivated. He now is now asking for help with his Maths too!
Mrs D Wilson
The way you teach is brilliant.  Kids really enjoyed working/learning with you.  Hope to be back next year.  Thank you once again

I would like to thank you for the enthusiastic way in which you have helped Vicky gain confidence in her abilities to learn.  She has been a different child since coming to you and has a more positive view now!

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.”

“Our children have enjoyed their time at your tuition centre very much, and my wife and I have been incredibly impressed with your professional approach to tuition. Thank you so much for all you have done in making our kids feel comfortable, cared for and safe.” Mr Usuanlele.

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.

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.”

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:

– Locrating
– Good Schools Guide
– School Performance Tables

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.
