Current students' places in the group lessons are reserved until the 8th of December; please do make sure to book your place in the Spring Term before then!
Any places that are not booked after this date will be offered to students on a first-come, first-served basis.

On Monday, 21st October, our tutors participated in a training session titled 'Feedback and Communication'. During the session, our Senior Tutor Vivek, discussed the four types of feedback we provide at Trefoil Tutors (post-lesson debriefs, lesson write-ups, individual student comments online and termly parents' meetings), as well as the importance of delivering high-quality feedback to parents. Keeping all three parties (parents, tutors and students) in the loop with current attainment levels, targets and areas for improvement are vital in ensuring long-term, sustained progress and feedback is an ideal too to do so! We hope the training was beneficial as well as enjoyable!

We hope all our students and parents have had a relaxing half-term break. We are excited to welcome all our students back to our lessons which resume today. We look forward to seeing you this week!

With many students sitting cross-year tests in the next half term, in this week's video, our senior tutor Vivek shares his advice on how to prepare for them successfully.
