Anchorage Tutoring
Tutoring can be utilised in a variety of contexts, from learning a new subject to brushing up on exam techniques. It can be beneficial for students across all levels of education.
What does tutoring involve?
Tutoring typically involves a one-hour lesson, usually scheduled once a week or every fortnight. The process is bespoke, designed to meet the specific needs of the student or a group of students.
It might focus on a single subject, such as maths or science, or a combination of subjects. But tutoring goes beyond just subject matter. It can also play a significant role in:
Confidence building:
Tutoring helps students gain confidence in their abilities, which can significantly improve their overall performance.
Exam techniques:
Tutors can provide tips and strategies to tackle exams effectively, helping students maximise their scores.
Support in choosing and applying for further education:
Tutors can offer crucial guidance when it comes to making decisions about 6th form, college, or university, and can assist students in the application process.
Types of Tutoring
Tutoring can take several forms depending on the needs of the students:
1:1 Tutoring:
This is one-on-one tutoring, focusing on individual student's needs.
2:1 Tutoring:
This involves two students working at approximately the same level on the same syllabus.
Small Group Tutoring:
Tutoring can also be conducted in small groups of up to four students, again, those working at a similar level on the same syllabus are grouped together.
Different Levels of Tutoring
The tutoring provided can differ depending on the academic level of the student.
Key Stage 3 Maths:
Tutoring at this level follows the Key Stage 3 curriculum but can be tailored to meet the specific needs of individual students.
Key Stage 4 Maths:
This includes GCSE Maths tutoring for both foundation and higher maths papers.
Functional Skills Maths Retake:
Understanding that not everyone passes their maths exam at the first attempt, we offer a tailored programme with weekly tutoring to support problem areas and provide assistance with past
paper questions.
A-Level and Level 3 Science:
This includes Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. The details of the A-Level syllabus will be needed to provide targeted tutoring.
Job Specific Courses:
We also provide tutoring in science to support applied higher national diplomas such as hairdressing, engineering, or forensics, and access courses for science or medical degrees.
Other forms of support
Apart from the traditional tutoring, there are several other ways in which we can offer support:
UCAS and Oxbridge Applications:
We provide support in writing personal statements and UCAS applications, especially for students aiming for medicine and Oxbridge applications.
A-Level and Degree Project Review:
Our tutors can review A-Level extended projects and University final year projects and theses before they are submitted, ensuring that you're on the right track.
In conclusion, tutoring is a versatile and highly beneficial educational tool that can help students navigate their academic journey with greater ease. Whether you're grappling with maths problems, preparing for major exams, or applying for further education, a tutor can provide the personalised guidance and support that you need to succeed.
