Our approach to Science tutoring

“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.” – Albert Einstein

1. First, we assess the student to identify gaps in the fundamentals (what content don’t they know?) and common error types (how are they losing marks?).
2. Then, we select a mentor from our team of science tutors. It is crucial for a student to ‘like’ their tutor and look forward to the lessons.
3. The trained tutor comes to the house for high-impact one-on-one lessons where they actually teach the ideas and concepts.
4. We set structured homework for the student to do in between lessons. When it comes to science, practice is key.
5. We use projects, practical demonstrations, and experiments to excite the student and pique their interest.
6. The student sits regular mock tests so that they can practice the skills under exam conditions, and we can monitor progress and increase their confidence.
7. A student needs to familiarise themselves with the technical requirements of the memorandum in order to excel. We teach test-taking techniques.
8. We supervise, guide and support the programme to ensure a great result.

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” – Confucius
