What parents say...

Private maths tutoring in Portsmouth , I Love To Learn is a professional education centre for 6-16 year olds. Great for SATs, 11+ or GCSE and all abilities.

“The GCSE Maths Tutors Are Great.”

T’anna came to us as her mum had seen us on Facebook and decided to call. T’anna, now in year 10, had always struggled with her maths. In four short months however, she has improved so much that, the school want to put her up for the Higher GCSE paper!! Kerry, T’anna’s mum says ” She has come on leaps and bounds, I am so pleased with the progress. The tutors are great! It’s a convenient location and the assessment is easy to arrange.”

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

Thank you for all your support with our son, Thomas. His hand writing, spelling, maths and reading is progressing beautifully. I would highly recommend your setting to anyone who wishes to give their child a boost or to work on specific learning goals. It has been invaluable. All your tutors are warm, welcoming and professional and Thomas is always made to feel valued. Positive praise and lots of stickers, stamps, rewards, prizes and certificates give that extra special touch to reward and recognise the children’s efforts. Thomas is certainly always proud of his achievements from your centre.

Essential Information

Loving to Learn: Activities and tasks that your child Can Do!

After the assessment, we use your child’s results to create an individual plan for them. It will focus on any areas of weakness and allow us to set work at the right level. We will give your child work that they can do so their confidence, and feeling of success, returns.

Homework

This is set to practise and repeat their learning, which also helps them to retain it or shows us what we need to work on!

Our tutors will re-design their plan each week so they can continue to work on the areas of weakness, consolidate learning and extend it further. We see the greatest progress from children who are with us for six to nine months.

Honest Feedback

We will give honest verbal feedback at the end of every session if requested. Once the child has reached the goal agreed, we will recommend that they be re-assessed or graduated from the programme.

Real Teachers (Fully Qualified)

Our tutoring consists of 80 minutes of one-to-one tuition in a small group setting with a fully qualified teacher. All our tutors are experienced and qualified teachers. We also give them full training in our ‘I Love to Learn’ teaching method.

Weekly During Term Time

Children need regular sessions to make progress and remember the new things they are learning. Memory issues often hold children back and so regular attendance is essential. The homework is there to repeat the work they have covered as an extra memory prompt.
