Out of School Tutoring in Bromley from Key Stage 1 to A Level
Frequently Asked Questions
How will I know if tutoring is suitable for my child?
There will be an initial free assessment with the relevant tutor which will take up to 45 minutes. During this time the tutor will ascertain your child’s suitability for tuition. Following this a plan of study will be compiled for your child including a discussion with his or her current class/subject teacher wherever possible.
Who will be tutoring my child?
As an established teacher recruitment company we have literally hundres of local teachers to choose from. We have selected teachers with a minimum of ten years classroom experience as well as experience of private tuition. Our teachers are all subject to a strict vetting procedure including List 99 and CRB checks. We never compromise on this.
Which subjects will be covered?
We are currently running tutor groups for:
Entrance exams for local independent secondary schools
KS1 & KS2 Literacy, Numeracy and Reasoning
Maths, English, ICT, Biology, Chemistry and Physics at GCSE and A level.
We will run classes for other subjects depending on demand.
Where will the tutor groups be held?
Our offices at 50 High Street Bromley provide the perfect setting and location for tutoring. They are quiet, safe, clean and conducive to study. Please feel free to come along and see them at any time.
When are the tutor groups held?
Monday to Friday evenings during term time and Saturday mornings. Please call the office on 0800 0966207 for details of timetables as they are subject to change depending on demand. However once your weekday and time is booked it will not change for the rest of the school year.
What is the cost?
£25 per FULL hour. This includes all educational resources and materials and refreshments. There are no hidden extras. It is recommended that a child takes at least one full term of tuition but ideally will be tutored for the full academic year.
Why should I choose Education VIPs Tutoring Service?
For peace of mind. Education VIPs have been working with teachers and schools in Bromley since 1995.
We have researched well and identified the most common reasons for parents being disappointed with other tuition services and made sure that we can overcome them:
Children not receiving a full hour of tuition as time is often spent talking to parents.
Tutor sickness means class cancelled.
Limited hours to contact tuition service.
Home tutoring not suitable as home poses many distractions but often the only option.
Hidden costs for materials, refreshments etc.
Uncertainty of tutors’ security checks. (We will show you evidence of the checks on our tutors upon request).
Tutors out of date with classroom practice.
Tutors have limited resources.
Knowing the importance of education you may have considered the expensive option of private schooling for your child(ren) which is a huge financial undertaking.
Private tuition however can prove to be all that your child requires to bring out their true ability at only a fraction of the cost. Some parents I know use their child benefit income for just this purpose finding it a fitting way to spend the money to directly ‘benefit’ their child.
Any mainstream school teacher will tell you that nearly all children will benefit from an hour of out of school support every week. It is massively rewarding for both you and your children to see the advances in their classroom achievement which is often noticeable after just a few weeks. You may even see your children’s confidence grow as their academic ability improves making them active participants in the classroom.
We have set up a tuition service that we believe is the best available in the area. In addition to the excellent standard of our tutors we insist upon there is office support available from 7am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays with a freephone service.
