“A Real Confidence Boost”
“She Loves It!”
Katelyn really struggled at school with confidence and wasn’t making the progress expected of her. Her mum, Caroline, already used a home tutor but had seen little improvement. When she heard about us she wondered if we could help boost her.
Since beginning tuition with us she has gone from strength to strength. Now Katelyn’s attitude has completely changed. Caroline says,
“ She has grown loads in her spelling and I have seen a massive improvement. She loves it and her confidence has really grown. It has helped her with her numbers and reading too! She is much happier at school now and really starting to learn.”
We are so delighted to hear this and excited to hear Katelyn loves to learn!
Double Success in Common Entrance Assessment!
Common Entrance Assessment
Some schools have a common entrance assessment for entry to senior school. Twins, Tom and Sophie came to I Love to Learn as their parents were told that they were below expected level for their year. This would put them in danger of not being able to progress to the senior school of their choice. After only 9 months, they have caught up and surpassed the expected level for English Comprehension and maths.
Both of them loved coming to the centre and looked forward to their session each week. They have massively grown in confidence and they love their improved performance in class tests (they are both very competitive)!
Malcolm (their dad) said, “Great communication and feedback was key, and we loved the guidance of how to continue to make progress during the holidays. We can’t fault it. We have stopped for a bit as we are moving house, but we will be back in the summer term.”

Loving to Learn:
Work your child Can Do!
After the assessment we use the result to make an individual plan for your child. It will focus on any areas of weakness and allows 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.
Professional Tutors
Our tutoring consists of one-on-one tuition in a small group with a fully qualified teacher. We will discuss and explain the work to your child (and not just plough through worksheets). We see the best progress from children who are with us for six to nine months.
As everyone works in different ways so we cannot guarantee progress. We ask that the homework given is completed so we can check how students are getting on when we are not around. We also ask that students attend as regularly and punctually as possible. We want to make every minute count, so it is important the learning process is not disrupted.
Loving the Journey:
We will give honest verbal feedback at the end of every session. Once the child has reached the goal agreed, we will recommend that the child be re-assessed or graduated from the programme.
If you want to discuss progress or anything else about your child, please do not hesitate to make an appointment with us. We never want to waste anyone’s money so you are not locked in for any period of time. If for any reason you want to stop you are free to give two weeks notice.
Registered with OFSTED
I Love to Learn is registered with the OFSTED ( No. EY387054), and adhere to strict regulations with regard to the recruitment and vetting of staff. This will provide you with peace of mind when you send your child for tutoring the best possible teaching from experienced, qualified teachers. An additional benefit of choosing us is that you can pay for our services with childcare vouchers.
4 Study Habits for the New Academic Year
4 Study Habits for the New Academic Year
It’s back to business after the freedom and fun of the summer holidays. Let’s hope our children will have the excitement and enthusiasm for a new year motivating them through the first term. Forming a few good habits early can help them when facing new challenges later.
Effective study skills can often make good students into great students. Here are four great study habits to help your child get the most out of their learning this year.
- Study Planner-schools let children know the topics they will be studying nowadays. Make a long term plan of the year ahead to help focus their learning and avoid last minute cramming.
- Study Schedule-stick to regular homework sessions on a timetable making as it will become part of the daily routine.
A calendar and a weekly plan leading up to due dates will give everyone a clear view and help in allocating time to getting things done.
- Study Time- designate a ‘communication blackout hour’ or until homework is done, no phones, messages, gaming or TV.
- Study Space-create a study area away from above distraction, ideally a quiet, well lit area, having materials and equipment to hand including spare reading glasses if needed.
Help with Homework
We don’t think that parents should have to do all the work, so this kind of support for children is a good way to help them take responsibility. Generally the rule of thumb is, if you are working harder on their homework than they are it is time to back off! Of course it is OK to help with their homework, (make it clear who is responsible) if they ask for it but perhaps limit it to 30 mins before charging!
Getting the balance right can take time. Try to avoid threats if things get tough, this usually leads to trenches getting dug rather deep. Instead try offering encouragement like ” As soon as it’s done you can/we can ………..”.
