Yes, but the more time we have to prepare the better the chance of success so get in
contact with us today. It is recommended that your child starts early preferably the
September they start in year 4.

Communicating directly with your child is a great way to find out what they are struggling
with and the specific areas they need help with. Parents’ evenings also provides great
insight into how they are developing.

We’re yet to meet a child that hasn’t benefited from Summit’s Tuition. We provide updates and
feedback about how they are performing. Our homework, coupled with the guidance of our
tutors and expertise, improves your child’s self-esteem and ultimately their academic
performance.

All children are unique which is why it’s important to attend an assessment before commencing tuition.
The assessment helps us to develop a plan and set targets that are realistic for your child to work towards.
We’ll provide regular feedback so you know how far your child is progressing.

Children can often feel left behind in class or sometimes are afraid to answer questions in
case they get the answer wrong. At Summit Tuition Centre we tailor work so that your child
will always have success in every lesson and will then gently stretch them with attainable
targets to help them make progress. This gradually builds their confidence and motivation.

Children work better when other children are around, as the learning environment is much
more relaxed and enjoyable.
When you first research tuition you may feel that you are getting more for your money with
a one-to-one tutor, but will your child learn all of the skills they need to be successful,
independent learners or will they become dependent on someone always being there
pointing out their mistakes.

Children need to develop independent learning skills and succeeding independently will
significantly boost your child’s confidence. Imagine how intense it is having someone always
looking over your shoulder and spotting mistakes you make before you have had chance to
work it out for yourself. Our small groups mean that your child will receive a perfect balance
of one-to-one time and independent learning within the session.

Your child will receive all the benefits of face-to-face tuition from a caring teacher who
supports your son or daughter through every step of their learning. Your child will receive
the highest quality teaching from our carefully selected teachers. We strongly believe that
teaching should be active and that children thrive on being engaged, not just placed in front
of a screen or left with copious amounts of worksheets to complete.

All of our teachers are selected specifically for their expertise and teaching ability in their
specialist subjects. Our fully qualified teachers make learning fun and varied using exclusive
curriculum resources. To uphold our professional high standards within our centre, all
teachers have a current enhanced DBS check.

We provide a positive, safe, fun, learning environment to enable your child to progress.
Each tuition lesson is based on one-to-one direct teaching, a small group environment and a
balance of educational computer programmes, workbooks and written work, making the
lessons varied and interesting.
Our students are given homework to reinforce their learning and to extend concepts and
skills taught in the lesson. Homework will not be time consuming and will vary depending on
the student’s needs and their homework set by school.
