Educational classes
Community-based learning initiative (classes)
EducateFirst recognises that there remains an unmet need for educational support for many children and is working to try and help various communities tackle this issue. Our community-based learning initiative is designed to help provide additional educational support to children outside of school. This support is provided in the form of kid’s weekend tuition classes offering a series of educational programmes focusing on Maths, English and Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) for children up to GCSE level (KS4). Based on the national curriculum for each Key Stage, these special programmes have proven to improve children’s numeracy and literacy skills, and help them develop a sound understanding of topics related to science. Each class is for 1 hour and children may attend either one, two or all three subjects, depending on which subjects for which they require support.
Our qualified teachers can help your child with general school work, coursework, individual skills assessments as well as exam preparation and revision techniques.The interactive learning formats applied in our classes are an effective way of learning and help children develop core skills and enhance these to a more advanced level. Children with learning difficulties, special educational needs (SEN), dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can also benefit from this form of tuition. Children at our centres enjoy a series of fun, stimulating and challenging lessons throughout the yearly academic programme.
Results from a 2010–11 survey conducted by EducateFirst showed that well over 90% of students (or their parents) believed that attending our classes provided benefit and would recommend our learning programmes to a friend. The survey was conducted across all our learning centres and included a total of 192 students/parents (Key Stages 1–4).
We welcome children from all nationalities as well as ethnic and social backgrounds to attend our classes and be part of this successful community-based educational programme.
Costs
Registration is FREE. To support the running of the classes, a small fee of only £5 (five pounds) is charged per student per lesson. Students will also be required to purchase an educational pack (only £10 per subject) which will be used throughout the academic year. There are no additional costs whatsoever and no long-term commitment on your behalf. Register here TODAY.
To our knowledge we are the only professional organisation within the UK to offer private tuition in core subjects for children studying at levels KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4 for only £5 per lesson. So, why are our charges so low? At EducateFirst we believe that every child should have the opportunity to engage in private tuition. However, with some organisations charging in excess of £25 per hour, not to mention a £50 registration fee, we understand that many parents can either simply not afford this or may not be in a position to commit to such services given the large sums of money involved. We have therefore reduced our tutoring costs for this educational initiative to just £5, which will help towards our administration costs and other overheads, meaning that you can enjoy the benefits of providing your child with the first class tuition they need and deserve throughout their school years. Who says you cannot put a price on education? We have…it’s only £5.
Note: The low cost of our class tuition does in no way reflect the outstanding and professional service we provide to local communities. We use fully qualified tutors wherever possible to ensure you and your child continue to benefit from this community-based learning initiative.
