To us, tutoring should not simply be helping a student understand a topic. Tutoring should also be about equipping the individual with the skills and mindset required to be an independent and confident learner.
Based in Central London
Based in Central London, Borough Tutors offer face to face, private tuition to students in zones 1-3. Face to face tuition is important in helping to build rapport with students, creating a positive academic environment in which students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and learning. Unlike the classroom, the 1:1 support provided by private tuition sessions are paced according to each student’s needs.
Experience
Our tutors have had years of experience in GCSE and A level tuition to students from several different backgrounds.
A holistic approach
In the US, 11% of college and university students reported experiencing burnout in the past year. Being students ourselves, we understand the anxiety and stress faced in academia. Caring for one’s mental health is fundamental in achieving success; taking time to destress is just as important as studying. This is why we take a holistic approach to tuition, we are eager to teach students the techniques we have developed to best cope with these pressures. Ensuring our students maintain a healthy work life balance and being an empathetic figure of support are key facets of our tutoring style.
Insight into exam technique
At A level and GCSE, exam technique is essential for success. Having recently completed A levels, we have insights into what examiners are looking for in answers. This helps our students understand what exactly each question is asking of them, enabling them to access higher marks.
Smart studying methods
Time management is key to a healthy work life balance. With smart studying methods such as active recall, this is more easily achieved. We teach students how to navigate these scientifically backed revision techniques to enhance one’s revision.
Personalised tuition
Borough Tutors takes a personalised, individualistic approach to each student. Understanding the individual’s strengths & weaknesses, learning styles and personality are all key aspects of this. Building a relationship with students based on mutual respect and trust to achieve this is imperative.
