OUR APPROACH

Our aim, at Phoenix Tuition Academy, is to make learning as easy and interesting as possible.  Our vast experience has shown that giving children the confidence to ask questions, and become enthusiastic learners ultimately leads to success.

We work with great Tutors that children can identify with as this fosters tutor pride, and inspires confidence in children to develop a passion for learning.

MAKING LEARNING EASY AND ENJOYABLE

Tutoring is about building a relationship between child and tutor that inspires a love of learning. We find that this is often easier to achieve when children are comfortable with their engaging tutor who can help them work to achieve their best potential with constant interruptions, huge class sizes and a noisy learning environment.

Our Tutors will always advise parents on progress and the most suitable timetable to achieve agreed goals.

SAFEGUARDING

Our Tutors are DBS checked to provide safe, tailored support for home-schoolers, after-school provisional, full-time provision, as they prepare for their IGCSEs/GCSE’s, 7+, 11+, and 13+ entrance exams. 

All our Tutors are chosen for their great teaching ability, academic excellence and empathy.

TYPES OF TUITION

ONLINE TUITION - AFTER SCHOOL

This is becoming an increasingly popular form of tuition, particularly for international, boarding school students or students from other parts of the country where distance would prove impossible for in-person tuition.

Online tutoring is an important part of Phoenix Tuition service that we offer with online tutors who have been through a stringent application process. We ensure that any online tutoring is effective as all tuition sessions are recorded – this helps with exam revision and those who have been absent due to sickness. 

INTERNATIONAL TUITION

We teach students from around the globe both remotely and in their homes. We help to prepare international students for both school and university education in the UK, as well as providing tuition for entrance examinations.

HOME-SCHOOLERS TUITION - DESIGN & DELIVERY

We can design and implement home schooling programmes, if you need assistance. We are able to provide everything from occasional accompaniment alongside parental teaching to full time tuition. Parents can choose to use our services to create an overall timetable by planning their own parental teaching, combined with our  professional support. This ensures that everyone involved can proceed with confidence and with the knowledge that progress is being monitored at all times.

In addition to setting up your home schooling program, we are able to offer you a managed service delivered by the curriculum management team at Phoenix Community College. The Curriculum Manager will have regular check-in meetings with each tutor, to ensure that the student is progressing through his or her various courses of study, and is staying firmly on track to meet set deadlines.

FULL-TIME SECONDARY TUITION

We are able to provide a complete full-time programme at Key Stage 3 & 4 for Secondary children (ages 11 to 14 years), who are not in mainstream education, or can work to complement traditional schooling.  This could be for international parents who wish to prepare their child for education in the UK, or for those who choose to educate their children through tuition, whilst working away from home.
