Do you tutor exam preparation for selective school entrance?
Yes, but please do contact us well in advance to give your child the best chance of success. This will allow time to prepare thoroughly, without too much stress. Parents begin thinking about extra tuition up to 2 years before the exams.
How do I know if my child is having trouble with their school work and what can I do about it?
Parents’ evenings are often the best way to find out if your child is struggling with their studies. You can also try communicating with your child and ask questions about which areas of Maths and English they struggle with. Constantly asking for help with homework or refusal to do it, tears and tantrums, can all be tell-tale signs that the work is too hard for them. We provide a free educational assessment and will give our professional opinion about where we see your child having difficulty. So, book an assessment today if you want to discuss supporting your child further.
How do I know that my child will improve?
We guarantee to work with your child until they feel confident to flourish and no longer feel daunted by the problematic area. Combined with our expert tutoring, their school work and extra homework from us; your child will feel supported, encouraged and will make progress in the areas you were concerned about.
How long will it take to solve my child’s problem?
Every child is different, so it’s important they come in for a FREE Assessment so we can come up with a plan and goals for them to work towards. There is no contract or obligation to attend for a long period of time, but we’ll regularly provide parental feedback so you know exactly how your child is doing. Every session, that your child attends, is individually planned and adapted to suit their particular needs. We aim to unlock areas of difficulty as soon as we can for each child.
Can you tutor my child with a Special Educational Need?
We are not a SEN centre, but because we tailor our lesson plans to the specific needs of each child we have taught children with diagnosed ADHD, Aspergers, Dyslexia, Autism and others in the past. If your child falls into one of these categories it’s very important you get in touch and set up an interview with us and an assessment. Then, we can establish whether we can effectively tutor your child.
Our Portsmouth Centre has wheelchair access and the use of a disabled toilet. We want to offer the best for all the children we tutor, so this is a very important process. We are always willing to go the extra mile regardless of any special need. Please call for more details.
Do you tutor from home?
No. All of our tutoring is done in our private tuition centres so your child has access to all of our top learning packages and technology in an optimal learning environment, without any distractions.
How long is each lesson?
Our tutoring lessons are 80 minutes. The lessons are broken up in 10-15 minute activities so your child never gets bored.
What times are the sessions held?
There are a variety of times available; Monday to Thursday and Saturday morning, please get in touch to find out more.
Will my child get homework?
Yes. Homework is an essential part of I Love to Learn Professional Tuition. We are aware of other homework from school, so we only set homework which repeats, practises and consolidates the learning in the session. If you have difficulty getting your child to complete the homework, please speak to us.
How should I help my child during my child’s tuition at I Love to Learn?
Children’s attendance must be regular and punctual. You may wish to inform your child’s teacher that they are attending extra tuition and ask for areas we can focus on during the term. With homework, ensure you set a distraction free environment for your child to learn in and we ask for you not to help them if possible. We want to see how well they are doing when we are not there!
Do you have a Safeguarding Policy?
Yes, here is the link Safeguarding Policy Document…..
