Why a small group?
Groups are small enough for the tutor to follow each child’s progress, while practising with classmates makes mock tests feel closer to the real thing. Termly classes build a steady routine and usually cost less than one-to-one tutoring. For specific gaps, families can add a one-to-one tutor.
