About usFinding the genius of every child by Building confidence through collaboration and challenge
Our tutors at Aster work in collaboration with students to identify the key areas they need to work on. A specialist tutor will be matched with a student depending on the exam board they are studying for, then a clear plan will be put in place to identify areas of support to be targeted.
By engaging students’ interest in the subject and tailoring every lesson to their individual needs, our tutors do their utmost to make sure your child can reach their potential.
We have gained significant experience in tutoring for the main GCSE and IGCSE exam boards. Our lessons ensure that students gain a thorough understanding of the texts studied; we provide a contextual, social and historical background so none of the texts are studied in isolation. It is this depth of learning that aims to equip students with the confidence to tackle their exams and feel challenged to achieve their best.
An initial assessment which comes with a detailed report of identified strengths and areas of development
A written report after every lesson targeting areas for development. Monthly student reviews to measure progress against curriculum expectations and to allow parents to track their child’s progress
Bespoke, tailored lessons created around the needs of your child as identified by the initial assessment and ongoing tutor assessment. Engaging, interesting content designed to inspire and spark interest not to bore.
The Aster Tuition ethos encourages students to pursue their interests and discover their talents. To that end, we base all our learning on our 6 sided steps to success. These steps encourage learning in all aspects of the subject so as to uncover their true genius. Find out more
Valued relationship between parents and tutors; building long term success through a transparent, triangulated approach
COURSESWorkshops
After each workshop, children will be given homework to complete at home. This will then be marked by the teacher and feedback will be shared so children understand next steps. At the end of each four week block of learning, parents will receive detailed written feedback on their child’s progress. This is one of the cornerstones of Aster Tuition’s methodology so that parents are included in their child’s learning and every element of our teaching process is transparent.
Children will also take home a pack of resources to continue practising key skills once the workshops have finished.
