Five East Anglia schools form tutoring partnerships with TLC Education Group
TLC Education Group, the specialist maths and English tutoring provider, today announces five partnerships with schools across East Anglia. The Samuel Ward Academy and Wymondham High School in Suffolk, Coleridge Community College and Parkside Community College in Cambridge, and the Open Academy in Norwich, have invited TLC to set up Learning Centres onsite and offer individual maths and English tuition alongside GCSE preparation, to pupils aged 6-16 from the respective schools, and children in this age range from the surrounding areas.
Qualified CRB-checked teachers provide bespoke tuition based on needs and skills gaps identified in a comprehensive initial assessment. Learning Centres are located onsite at each school, with tutoring sessions taking place in study periods or after school.
Pupils work independently on TLC Education’s unique learning software, which provides modules based on the national curriculum. A qualified teacher monitors progress, answers questions and helps them get through difficult material. Each teacher works with an average of four pupils at any given time (with no more than five in a lesson), enabling one-to-one tuition at affordable rates.
Simon Barnes, Director of TLC Education Group, explains: “We are operating in some of the finest and fastest improving schools in East Anglia. Our partnerships mean that we can help improve examination grades and build confidence in students of all ages and abilities. Within these partnerships, we also welcome students from the wider community, from schools other than those in which we are located.”
Howard Lay, Headmaster at Samuel Ward Academy comments: “I can highly recommend TLC Education’s Learning Centres. They have been assisting us with our GCSE students and have had a significant impact on raising our students’ achievements. We are also working with them on other year groups with equal success. I look forward to our continued partnership.”
Barnes concludes: “We are planning to open Learning Centres throughout the UK and we are in discussions with many schools about starting partnerships.”
TLC Education Group also has an independent Learning Centre based in Bishop’s Stortford offering maths and English tuition, GCSE and common entrance exam preparation. The tuition specialists assess children for free in order to identify the academic challenges they are facing.
