In this week's update, our Senior Tutor Vivek and Registrar Milda share the various activities they have pursued during the half-term holidays, encouraging students to explore their own interests and combine learning with relaxation. Milda also introduces our new Year 4 Mathematics lessons that will launch after the half-term break due to an increase in demand and reminds parents about the opportunity to use the full year payment discount (available until the 1st of November). Finally, the updated lesson schedule for the Spring Term will be published later this week, which will be of interest to those looking to join our Year 3 Mathematics and English lessons as well as our Year 4 and 5 Reasoning lessons.

Have a lovely half-term and week look forward to seeing you next week!

As we complete the first half-term of the academic year, we are delighted to see students begin to follow good routines in their learning.

"I have two sons who are both really impressed with the atmosphere here at Trefoil Tutors. One of my sons has been with Trefoil Tutors for over 5 years now and has enjoyed every bit of it; as parents, we can see he’s achieving much higher results in his academics at school."

In this half-term's newsletter, you will find updates from all the members of our Senior Leadership Team, sharing their advice on how to make the most of the half-term holidays - whether it's by taking the opportunity to catch up on any academic topics that your son or daughter has found challenging this year, or spending some quality family time exploring interactive educational activities available in person and virtually. In addition, we are pleased to share with you the holiday work written by our lead Mathematics, English and Science tutors.

Finally, if you are still considering joining our lessons this academic year, in the newsletter, you will find a snapshot of our current availability as well as information on the discounts we offer.

Happy reading!

'I have seen massive changes in her attitude to maths - she has gone leaps and bounds in confidence when approaching papers. She has learnt topics before she’s had to learn them at school, or has just had subjects reconfirmed for her during her tutoring at Trefoil. As a parent, I am very happy that we've enjoyed coming to lessons at Trefoil Tutors and we are looking to continue – especially as we have seen such improvement!'

We would like to remind all parents and students that this is the last week of lessons before the October Half-Term break, with no lessons taking place between Monday, the 19th of October and Sunday, the 1st of November.

As students prepare for their final lesson of the half-term, we would like to remind everyone to thoroughly review classwork notes and homework assignments!

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reviews the progress made throughout the term so far and, in light of a busy end of the half-term for many students, emphasises the importance of revision in preparation for Week 6 assessments.

With this in mind, our Director of Studies Rebecca shares some useful advice on how students can best utilise their lesson notes and work completed so far in the term to aid their revision and help them effectively prepare for the assessment.

"Trefoil Tutors is extremely well organised - it's more like a small school than a traditional tutor. It is very ordered and structured and there is a clear routine for all the lessons. We've been extremely impressed with both the service and the approach from both Vivek and Milda."

As many parents of Year 6 students will know, following an announcement on the 25th of September, 2020, the dates of the 11+ Entrance Examinations to Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School and Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls have been moved from January 2021 to the 17th and 18th of December 2020 alongside a change in the exam structure.

In response to this, we are delighted to announce that during the Christmas Break, we will run one tailored mock examination adapted to the revised exam structure of these two schools.

The tailored mock examination will take place on Tuesday, the 15th of December, at 4:30pm-6:30pm.
