Online Tuition

We are pleased to announce that we can now offer online tuition. We don’t want any child to miss out on their lessons at Better Tuition so we are providing an additional service online, whilst still providing face-to-face lessons in our centre.

How it works

We are currently offering online lessons for Year 5 students preparing for entrance exams. The next course will commence in October 2023. Lessons cost £22 and are run via Zoom.

What you need

You will need a computer with a webcam and a microphone. Your child will need to be seated at a table or desk, with a pen and some paper. You may want to use headphones. We will email homework to you after the lesson. You can email a photo of the homework to us when it is completed – hopefully before the following lesson.

Homework feedback will come to you via email.

What will happen during the lesson

Lesson activities will be interactive, engaging and varied.  Students will investigate, and illuminate, the topics in hand. Your child’s tutor will be visible and audible and they will be visible and audible to their tutor. This will assist interaction.

We will create an atmosphere of focused, purposeful learning. As you know, Better Tuition uses the methods of interleaving and spacing. Interleaving is a process where students mix, or interleave, multiple subjects or topics while they study in order to improve their learning. Spacing involves continual revision throughout a series of lessons.

How we achieve great results

This means we don’t approach topics in blocks, making one topic of the lesson the main focus. By practising interleaving and spacing, we ensure that learning becomes firmly fixed in our students’ long term memory. We find that this approach enhances motivation, maintains concentration and yields fantastic results. and another one about .Here is a very good article about interleaving and spacing.

After the lesson

Homework will be emailed after the lesson and, as all our customers know, Paul and Christine are always available to discuss your child’s progress. You can do this via email or text, or you may prefer to telephone us on 0161 748 3912.
