Tutoring Approach

Student-centred and student-led approach - Each topic is taught at the speed best suited to each individual student. Students can decide what topic they would like to focus on in lessons.

Dynamic learning - Students are engaged throughout the lesson rather than being spoon-fed all the information.

Consolidation - Students are able to apply their subject knowledge and consolidate their understanding
