Group Sessions
Our group tutoring sessions are designed to create a welcoming, collaborative space where children can thrive alongside their peers. Ideal for students who benefit from shared ideas and social learning, our small groups ensure personal attention while moving at a pace that respects each child's individual journey. We focus on building both subject mastery and the confidence to ask questions, helping every learner find their unique direction in a friendly, low-pressure environment.
Why Choose Group Tutoring
-
More affordable pricing options. The more students that join the group the cheaper it will be. This also means you can bring a friend which can make the session more enjoyable!
 -
Helps build confidence in a smaller group, feeling safe to ask questions is always a big deal to young learners.
 -
  The groups are topic specific, based around topics that the majority of students struggle with so they can build a solid foundation for the topics in later years.
 -
Additional resources are provided each week, both for the session and for extra practice outside of the session.
 -
And lastly, the groups remain small enough that all the participants can get any support they need. Â

Common Questions
How do we join a group session?
Simply head to our booking page and select your desired group. While completing the form, you will be asked for a £10 deposit to reserve a place. Once enough places are reserved, we’ll confirm the start date. Your deposit will come off the payment for the final session.
What happens if a child misses a session?
We are not able to reschedule for groups at this time as they are a fixed course, so it is best to make sure the day and time is free for the length of the course. If a session is missed, we can provide resources so your child can catch up before the next session, plus a recording if you give us 72 hours’ notice.
What equipment is needed for the sessions?
Children will need a reliable internet connection, a quiet workspace, a notebook, and a pen. Access to our selected online platform is included with your enrolment.
How do I pay for sessions?
Payment is made weekly and simply through our invoice system, and we never store your card details. The option to pay up front is also available.
To reserve a place, a £10 deposit is due when booking, and this comes off your final session.
The price per student is fixed once the course starts.
