We believe that any child can succeed at school. The secret is to help students see –and believe in– their own capabilities.
Confidence plays a significant role in helping students make the most of their education. If they lack self-belief, they think that they are bad at school and are reluctant to even ask for help.
We have created a conducive learning environment by hand-picking our tutors and including a strategic teaching methodology that is centred on building your child’s confidence. Helping them to overcome their anxiety and stress around school work by developing missing skills and learning how to systematically approach their future work with ease.
With this, we have helped over 3000+ students see Big Improvements at school and beyond.
The first thing you’ll notice at any of our venues is that the learning environment is relaxed and fun. We don’t mimic the school environment, which students may associate with negative feelings. Our venues provide a supportive space where students learn new approaches to their work.
Weekly support sessions develop a routine and help students master their skill set and grow their confidence. Your child will continue refining their skills until they reach that ever-important “ah-ha” moment when their work really makes sense. Then it’s locked in for life!
Experience is another vital component of our methodology. It’s ok to get it wrong on the first try. What’s important is that your child keeps trying. Students learn to persevere, and when they see that they can accomplish their work, the results are astounding.
We identify and develop each individual’s missing skills, and our tutors use your child’s interests, likes, and motivations to explain their work in a captivating and engaging way. Feeling way more at ease and happy to explore, your child will be comfortable giving it a go. And that’s half the battle won.
Children associate the school environment with their feelings of gloominess and home as a safe haven.
The Big Improvements Tutoring venues provide a new setting; students understand it is an environment dedicated to providing the support and encouragement they need.
They know that for an hour a week, they will:
We tutor students in pairs, keeping the groups personal and small enough to receive individual attention but removing the intimidation of 1-on-1 tutoring.
Students like knowing that their tutor is there to help at any step of the way and appreciate the breathing space while they are trying to solve a problem on their own.
We do not use generic worksheets, screens, or pre-set programmes that take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our tutors use this information to create interactive, stimulating activities that resonate with your child’s personality. We also leverage the varied experiences and strategies that different tutors can offer your child.
We assist with planning and preparing school assignments, supporting students every step of the way and helping them become a better version of themselves. We also provide parents with regular lesson reports.
This approach has proven wildly successful because students love having a variety of mentors to guide them, and learning is uninterrupted as sessions need not be cancelled depending on the availability of a single tutor.
Just want to say thank you for the big improvements my daughter has made this year in your care. In a year of time, she has changed her writing from below the national average to being able to present her own research in such a way that the school head commented as ‘very professional’. She wouldn’t have achieved this without your help. Thank you very much!
Our daughter really enjoyed working with her tutor and was always keen to arrive and get started each week. For our son, I only wish I had started him earlier as he has lost a lot of ground, and he needs to get a lot more focused to manage his work for Year 8 this year. We are looking forward to starting them back again this year.
Coming from a former D student, this result is amazing – Leah has just received an “A” in her latest Maths assignment. One of the highest grades in her class. Leah is very happy and proud of this achievement. The marked increase in Leah’s confidence, efforts and skills can largely be attributed to the assistance provided by her amazing Big Improvements tutors.
If you’re not completely satisfied within the first 30 days, we’ll fully refund your fees – no questions asked! Join the Big Improvements Tutoring family and see your child’s confidence in school soar.
