Case Study: Transforming Education at Holland Park School with Minerva Tutors
IntroductionHolland Park School, located in West London, was among many institutions that faced unprecedented challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. To address learning gaps and offer high-quality education, the school collaborated with Minerva Tutors. This case study outlines the two-year journey of this partnership, detailing how Minerva Tutors' online and in-person tutoring programs made a difference for the students at Holland Park.
Year 1: The Initial Stage
Aim:
Help Holland Park students, especially those who needed it most, catch up with learning after disruptions caused by the pandemic.
The Setup:
- Location: Holland Park School, West London
- Tutoring Mode: Online
- Subjects: English and Maths
- Schedule: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 3 pm to 5 pm
- Duration: Started in November 2021 and ran for two school terms
Students remained on the school premises after the regular school hours and logged into dedicated classrooms, where a Minerva Tutor was assigned for each class. The tutors delivered highly focused 2-hour sessions in English and Maths.
Results:
The online tuition was incredibly successful in closing learning gaps. Students who were initially struggling started to catch up in both English and Maths, achieving better grades and higher levels of confidence.
Year 2: The Expansion
The Setup:
- Location: Holland Park School, West London
- Tutoring Mode: In-person
- Subjects: English and Maths
- Schedule: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 3 pm to 5 pm
- Duration: Ran up until GCSEs in 2023
Building on the success of the first year, the program was expanded to include 30 classes each week for English and Maths. Minerva Tutors provided a tutor for each class, ensuring a personalized and interactive learning experience for the students.
Results:
The in-person tuition further solidified students' understanding of core subjects, leading to improved performance in mock exams and other assessments. Additionally, students felt more prepared and confident going into their GCSEs in 2023.
Conclusion
Minerva Tutors' involvement in Holland Park School was transformative. In both the online and in-person phases, the tutors not only filled the educational gaps left by the pandemic but also enhanced the overall learning experience.
