Important Guidelines to help you choose the right course
The guidelines below are here to help you to think about your child’s level.
- It is dangerous to push a very bright child too far ahead because they tend to get frustrated at school which can lead to difficulties. Better to be ahead enough to be on top tables and have worked on core skills and consolidated learning so that their work is very accurate.
- In maths and English, at this stage, consolidation is much more important than moving forwards.
- If your child has very different levels in maths and English then we would suggest focussing on the weaker area and bringing it up to start with.
- In maths children leave their times tables far too early and fail to exercise their core skills sufficiently regularly. This results in a lack of accuracy in their work.
- In English, not enough focus is placed on reading and vocabulary development which are at the core of everything we do.
- One of the core benefits of working at home is, when done properly, it gives children a chance to grow and become more confident in their abilities which is often difficult in the classroom environment.
Use the boxes below to judge which course your child should be on. Try to resist over-estimating their ability or confidence- it would be better to start on an easier course and see more consolidation and confidence come through.

Results
Our courses are designed to help children improve and grow, whatever their current level. Typically a child working with us for two years will see an improvement of two levels above their predicted level. Working little and often and sticking with it delivers excellent results.
