Tutors

Fewer tutors who are serious about tutoring as a full time career.

Since the beginning, it’s been our founding mission to put together a unique team of professional tutors, trained and qualified to deliver memorable and inspirational educational sessions to our pupils across the country and around the world.

All our tutors have a UK government advanced DBS check and pass a comprehensive recruitment process. We look for inspirational "mentor"-style figures and role models who are able to ignite their interests. Tutors need to lead by example and must instill precision, creativity, confidence and critical-thinking - all essential skills for growing up in today’s fast-changing world.

Tuition

Placing motivation, confidence and pupil wellbeing at the heart of our education policy.

Our tutoring philosophy values motivation, confidence and well-being above academic attainment. This philosophy encourages an enjoyment of learning, and aims to achieve positive, long-term results in the classroom and the wider world. This broad minded approach to success not only informs our recruitment policy, acting as a guideline for the sorts of tutors we’d like to see working with us, but also keeps our pupils engaged and inspired to achieve their very best even after their tutoring session ends.

Tech

Ensuring pupils stay on track by using smart, progress tracking technology.

It’s all very well having an “inspirational” educational philosophy, but how can we verify it’s working? This is one of the reasons why we built Temple, a purpose built online reporting platform, based on years of research. After the end of each lesson, tutors log into Temple to write pupil progress reports, measuring pupil progress over time against our key development metrics: Improvement, Motivation, Confidence, and Ability. This means parents can login and monitor their child’s progress over the short and long term, and provides more meaningful performance data about their child’s personal and academic journey.
