Our approach

No two children get the same materials.

  • School curriculum
  • Strengths and gaps
  • How they learn

We get to know your child's school curriculum, their strengths and gaps, and how they learn best. Then we choose the most efficient way to teach them.

How we make it personal

Five steps, built around your child

  1. Know your child

    A first-lesson diagnostic by area, not a pass or fail test.

  2. Plan the best route

    Strengths and gaps decide what to teach, in what order, and what to skip.

  3. Custom materials

    Built from your child's school work and level. No two sets are the same.

  4. Teach how to learn

    Short bursts, winnable games, and an error notebook they fix themselves.

  5. Check and adjust

    Regular progress checks, a monthly report, a revised plan.

Every topic climbs in four levels

Example topics

EnglishPast tenseFoundationSpot the past-tense verbs in a picture story.CoreWrite five sentences about yesterday.StretchTell a story with irregular verbs and “because”.ChallengeFix a paragraph where the tenses jump around.
MathsFractionsFoundationShade a half and a quarter of a shape.CoreFind equivalent fractions with a fraction wall.StretchCompare 2/3 and 3/4 and explain why.ChallengeSolve a multi-step problem with fractions of a quantity.

Behind, on track or ahead?

Every child starts exactly where they are

  • Catching up

    We start at the first gap, not the grade level. A P4 child can restart from P2 number work, then move up.

  • On track

    School work first, then depth: more reasoning, wider reading, tidier writing.

  • Ahead

    Stretch and Challenge levels, and next-stage skills earlier, with school work kept solid.

Our long-term goal: teach your child how to learn, not just what to learn.

  • Plan their own study
  • Spot and fix their own mistakes
  • Explain their thinking
  • Ask for help early

Content is forgotten. Learning skills last through secondary school and beyond.
