Our frequently asked questions.

Schools and tutors focus on learning, not readiness to learn. Your child’s readiness to learn will have the biggest impact on their ability to reach their potential.

No - counselling focuses on overall emotional wellbeing; without diagnosing issues.

If your child’s overall lifestyle is impacted, rather than just their studying, then you may need to seek more specialised support; which we can offer advice on.

Tutors are subject matter experts, they may not be equipped to help with non academic issues that are holding your child back.

In a perfect world yes, but lack of time and resources means it’s not possible.

Schools don’t have the time or resources to make a meaningful difference.

You can TRY but..

Time - Schools often can’t provide the 1:1 attention that is required. (they already have to be supplemented with tutors)

Resources - Schools may not have the experience and tools to help effectively. Children need support, guidance and motivation.

Your priority - No-one will prioritise the needs of your child (and understand your child) more than you.

It’s possible you can help your child, but it might not be the BEST choice.

Bias - We’re unbiased, neutral outsiders. As a parent, you might be too close to the child and unable to take the objective perspective that is needed.

Experience - we have years of experience helping students reach their learning potential and know how best to tackle certain barriers.

Strategies - We have a range of techniques to find what works best for your child.

Time - It takes many hours of dedicated planning and support to help a child, could you commit the time required to make it a success?

In theory, yes, but in reality no.

You need a specialist in understanding the child and how to ready them for learning, not just a tutor who might be a little understanding…

Mentoring precedes tutoring - the child must be ready to learn to reach their potential.
