'With the accelerated group lessons, we move through the topics quicker than we would in school. This also helps a lot when we start the topics in school and I already know how to do it, so I find it easier. Vivek explains everything really well!'

We’ve had a great experience with Trefoil Tutors for our sons. They’ve built up a good understanding of mathematical concepts and as a result I believe they’ve improved a great deal in school, but most importantly they’ve been happy going to lessons and have comfortably managed school work and assignments set by Trefoil Tutors, so it’s been a win-win for them in every respect.

We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Please note our office is closed between the 24th of December and the 1st of January (inclusive). The 3rd set of group lessons will resume on the 7th of January 2019. We look forward to seeing you all after the break!

Today we held the next set of English and Mathematics 11+ mock examinations this year for students preparing to sit independent school entrance examinations in January. Thank you to all those who attended - we hope you found the practice useful!

If you are interested in attending one of our upcoming three mock examinations this week or in the new year, please email us at office@trefoiltutors.co.uk or call 0203 565 0539 to book your place.

More information about the mocks can be found on our website:

We would like to remind all students and their parents that Set 2 of lessons is now complete and no group lessons will take place until the 7th of January (aside from the rearranged lessons this Friday). Our office will be closed between the 24th of December and the 1st of January (inclusive). Have a lovely Christmas and we look forward to seeing you next year!

My son has known Mr G since the age of 11, he was his former maths teacher at HABS. He is now a year ahead of his age [at school], and we used Mr G's lessons to help him bridge that gap, but he enjoyed the lessons so much that he's continued working with him. The lessons have given him a great deal of confidence and he’s got the belief he can achieve the top grade in maths. I asked my son what is different about the way Mr G teaches maths to the way maths is taught at school; he said Mr G has a fun way of teaching complex topics.

With most students starting their Christmas break next week, now is a great time to catch up on some reading. To help students choose their holiday read, our lead English tutor Milda has recommended a variety of books suitable for students of different ages. Bearing in mind that the Christmas break is a time to be shared with family, all the recommended books are ones that have also been turned into films - which means that the whole family can enjoy them this Christmas!

On the 8th of December, we hosted our second Professional Development Seminar as part of our Professional Development Programme for tutors. In the seminar, our senior tutor, Vivek Gathani, discussed our Code of Conduct with the tutors and analysed potential situations that may arise when working with children.

At Trefoil Tutors, tutor development and child protection are two cornerstones of the professionalism that we bring to tutoring and we were delighted that so many of our team were able to join us!

We were delighted to see so many of our Year 6 students attending the 11+ mock examinations we held during the half-term holidays. We would like to remind parents of the final places available in the upcoming mock exams that will take place in December and January.

The mock examinations are modelled on 11+ entrance examination papers to independent schools in the area and are written by our lead tutors Vivek Gathani and Milda Sabunaite.

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. Our current students will also be glad to hear we have uploaded extra practice material to our website to support their revision.
