Due to our specialism approach, we can currently offer tuition in Maths and English tuition at lower KS3 with Andrea Parkinson. We can offer KS3 tuition in Maths and Science with David Parkinson.
We do not have a business link or referral system to any other tuition company but may be able to suggest tutors in other areas.
Tuition at Aspire Tuition at this stage:
- Is focused on individual needs – whether this is to help a student to manage work at school; to try to get a student to an expected level in a subject or to provide students them with challenge to achieve at a higher level.
- Through discussion, observation and assessment, we find and fill gaps in learning to enable students to understand new concepts. 1-1 working pushes learning on.
- Addresses anxiety within the subjects. Maths, in particular, is well known for causing huge levels of anxiety. We recognise and acknowledge this constantly and strive to reduce this for individuals. We build confidence and reduce self-esteem issues.
- Focusses on building an enjoyment of the subjects – this may mean reframing ideas – helping students see that they shouldn’t fear challenge in a subject and channel thinking to view difficult subjects more optimistically as well as providing interesting and fun activities relevant to individual interests.
- Helps to discover the reasons for a student not achieving to their potential – there are many factors but expert assessment, 1-1 work and specialist teaching is provided to overcome these as far as possible.
- Is at a pace personal and appropriate to every individual, providing whatever reinforcement, repetition or extension is required.
