Our tutors are drawn from Britain’s leading independent schools and from Oxford, Cambridge and universities of similar standing. Between them they teach every subject from the primary years to the sixth form, and each brings long experience in the classroom and in preparing students for entrance examinations.
Our lessons follow the tutorial tradition of Oxford and Cambridge: discussion in place of lecture, and questions pressed until the thinking deepens. The tutor sets the problem, tests the argument and welcomes challenge; the student learns to reason, and to put a view of their own, in English. Students meet early the way Britain’s great universities think, so that in a British classroom or at an Oxbridge interview they can answer with composure, and with substance.
After each lesson the tutor’s notes go to the parents: what was covered, where the student gained ground, and what to practise next. Parents follow the progress lesson by lesson, rather than waiting for the end-of-term report.
We teach method as well as matter, so that what a student learns is understood, holds up in the examination hall, and stays with them afterwards.
