Group Tuition
With The Education Warehouse, consistency is key. A commitment of at least one term’s worth of lessons is necessary to ensure progress and the continuity of learning.
The duration of each group lesson is 1-hour. Lessons are booked on a termly basis (every 12-15 weeks).
One-time registration fee per student (includes onboarding, collating the appropriate assessments, marking the assessments, providing feedback and creating a scheme of work).
We welcome you forming your own group of students from the same year group/Key Stage.

Benefits of Group Tuition
-
Groups have more information than a single individual. Groups have a greater well of resources to tap and more information available because of the variety of backgrounds and experiences (Oxford University Study, 2016)
-
People remember group discussions better. Group learning fosters learning and comprehension. Students working in small groups have a tendency to learn more of what is taught and retain it longer than when the same material is presented in other instructional formats (Barkley, Cross & Major, 2005; Davis, 2015)
-
Decisions that students help make yield greater satisfaction. Research suggests that students who are engaged in group problem solving are more committed to the solution and are better satisfied with their participation in the group than those who were not involved (Cambridge University, 2017)
-
Students gain a better understanding of themselves. Group work allows people to gain a more accurate picture of how others see them. The feedback that they receive may help them better evaluate their interpersonal behaviour (Swift Tutors) and
-
Teamwork is highly valued by employers. Well developed interpersonal skills were listed by employers among the top 10 skills sought after in university graduates (Graduate Outlook Survey, 2016).
Please note: In our group lessons, each student will receive individual support from the tutor.
Group lessons follow a scheme of work which covers the following:
-
Weaknesses and gaps in knowledge
-
Mathematics mastery
-
Exam techniques and efficiency (excluding entrance examinations)
-
The National Curriculum – covering the standards children should reach in each mathematics strand (Number, Algebra, Geometry and Measures, Ratio and Proportion and Probability and Statistics)
Pre-assessments - Years 3-6
Your child will need to complete arithmetic, reasoning and problem-solving, times tables and division assessments. These assessments do not need to be sat under timed conditions.
This data provides us with a general understanding of what your child can do and what topics they struggle with; you will receive the scores.
Pre-assessments - Years 7-11
Your child will need to complete two foundation/higher assessments and a times tables and division assessment. The two foundation/higher assessments do not need to be sat under timed conditions but your child will need to time how long it takes them to complete the times tables and division assessments separately.
This data provides us with a general understanding of what your child can do and what topics they struggle with; you will receive the scores.
All online lessons will also include:
-
Work marked in the lesson for instant feedback
-
Group feedback at the end of each lesson via email
-
Plenary reflection to gain understanding of how your child feels about their individual learning
-
A differentiated approach to learning by ensuring that all students’ levels are taken into consideration and catered for adequately
-
Peer support (partner and group work) within a fun and conducive learning environment
-
Receiving the resources used in the lesson
-
Receiving extra resources for your child to consolidate their learning
-
Online lessons: receiving the pdf version of the online whiteboard used in the lesson
-
An termly assessment to reflect on learning, progress made and next steps
-
An initial 10-minute phone consultation to discuss your goals for your child and any concerns that you may have.
Interested? Of course you are!
So, how does the registration process work?
-
Please click the button below and fill out the contact form, stating your child's name and year group, their current level in mathematics and your goals for your child
-
If there is availability and we can meet the needs of your child after an initial discussion, you will receive a registration email with instructions
-
The registration email will include important registration forms for you to complete and assessments for your child to complete (Years 3-6: arithmetic, reasoning, times-tables and division and Years 7-11: higher/foundation non-calculator and calculator papers, times-tables and division). All of these documents will need to be scanned and sent to us via email at least a week prior to your child's first lesson
-
Online lessons: a recurring link generated by Zoom will be emailed to you once everything (including the full payment) is finalised
-
You will be sent a document detailing the termly scheme of work for your child in order for you to be aware of what topics will be taught each week.
Please note:
If you and your child are new to the Zoom software, a video tutorial will be shared with you so that your child can familiarise themselves with the online lesson format
The assessments are crucial in informing The Education Warehouse about your child's mathematical attainment and also assist in placing your child in the appropriate group.
