Personal model: Incorporates blended teaching styles that match the best techniques with the appropriate learning scenarios and students in an adaptive format. As a teacher I play multiple roles in the classroom. Possessing some combination of all or most of the classic teaching styles. A blend of teaching styles that incorporate facilitator, delegator, demonstrator, and lecturer techniques helps the broadest range of students acquire in-depth knowledge and mastery of a given subject. With technology in mind, it is imperative that teachers assess their students’ knowledge while they are learning. Knowing how to engage students begins with selecting the teaching style.

Our core belief is that tutors are not a commodity. This is not a business enterprise run by non-qualified tutors.

We are affiliated with an online academy which is a registered school. We do not charge high commissions, ensuring fair compensation for our dedicated educators. We provide individually developmentally planned lessons, tailored to each student's needs. The individual extensive plan for a learning journey this is within our all in package where parents receive a detailed report after every lesson keeping them informed of their child's progress. Otherwise the standard lesson packages have a lesson plan and supplied curriculum with an end of every term report. We take safeguarding seriously and have a safeguarding lead.
