Alpha Tuition

Quite simply, we are passionate about our literacy, numeracy & science programmes. We try our hardest to make sure we have courses that are suitable for pupils just starting school in KS1 up to pupils preparing to sit their GCSEs and beyond. Teaching Excellence Having experienced and inspiring teachers who are passionate about their work is at the heart of all that we do. Unlike many supplementary education providers, all our teachers are fully qualified and have a track record of delivering engaging lessons and getting the best out of pupils. Small Class Sizes Whereas mainstream schools will have as many as 30 pupils in a class, our absolute maximum is a 1:6 student/teacher ratio. This means that pupils are able to benefit from group work and develop communication skills, but also receive far more individual attention in each lesson. This means that our teachers are quick to discover when a pupil isn’t grasping a concept so they can be supported further. At the same time, it means pupils who have grasped their work are not able to ‘coast’ and can be stretched further. Accredited Testing Our supplementary school teachers do not get much time with pupils, so we work hard to make sure all that time is spent as productively as possible. All pupils joining our programmes sit accredited literacy and numeracy tests which highlight the areas where each pupil is strong and where they are weaker. With this information, our teachers can work with parents to develop schemes of work and homework which strengthens weaker areas and encourages the quickest progress.
