Question 2

What subjects do you offer tuition in?

Accepted Answer

We offer tutoring in the following subjects:
 
- Early Years Reading and Phonics
- Early Years Maths
- KS1 Maths and English
- KS2 Maths and English
- SATS Maths and English Preparation
- 11+ Exam Preparation*
 
*this is done on a selective basis dependent on the child's natural abilities. The 11+ Exam Process can be a long one and it requires significant commitment in terms of time (and money if you are getting tutoring). As we do not take a pressurised approach and focus on the child's foundational knowledge above all else, we only take on those who are already performing at an adequate level to be able to take on 11+ to ensure that they do not feel overly stressed during the process and to ensure that there is not too much material for them to cover in a short amount of time.

Question 3

Do you offer 11+ services?

Accepted Answer

We are able to assist with 11+ exam preparation where the exam is based on the GL format.

Please note that we will not provide tutoring sessions in a bedroom and a parent or guardian must be present in the home during the tutoring session.
 
Where a student is keen to have us as their tutor but lives outside of our travel radius, we have provided tutoring sessions at local libraries. Local libraries can act as a good environment for students who struggle to concentrate at home or are getting reading help as there are a large number of choices for them.

Prices are inclusive of a 3 mile radius from EN2. 
 
Students falling outside of this 3 mile radius may be considered dependent on frequency of sessions, tutoring subject and desired outcome. Please still get in touch (javascript:void(0))to see if we can work out an arrangement (we have previously carried out tutoring in local libraries).

Question 14

What is a trial lesson?

Accepted Answer

A Trial Lesson is your very first lesson with Little Blossoms Tutoring and it is the chance for you to ask any additional questions you may have of your tutor, assess the connection that you/your child has with the tutor and to judge whether or not you would like to go forward with further bookings. The Trial Lesson will usually take the form of a 45 minute lesson with time available for a Q&A but it is a very flexible lesson and can be used however you like.
 
At Little Blossoms Tutoring we like to take this approach because we can fully appreciate that not all children will take to a single tutor, or you may be looking for something different and that is completely ok. At the end of the day this is your child's journey and you know your child the best, so we leave the ball in your court to decide whether to take things forward. There is absolutley no obligation to make further bookings after a Trial Lesson. 
 
You will also receive £15 off your Trial Lesson! To book your Trial Lesson click here(javascript:void(0))

Do you know of any other tutors?

Accepted Answer

We completely understand if you are looking around, this is important when choosing the right tutor for your child.
