"The fact that Vivek is a former HABS teacher was definitely one of the factors making me decide that I would send my son to Vivek, because he knew what he was talking about. I knew he had done the HABS syllabus, so certainly Vivek would point him in the right direction."

The winners for the 2024 Yoto Carnegies awards have been announced for 2024! The Yoto Carnegie Medals are the UK’s oldest and best-loved children’s book awards, recognising outstanding reading experiences created through writing and illustration in books for children and young people.

This year, the Medal for Writing has been awarded to The Boy Lost in the Maze by Joseph Coelho.

The story portrays a boy’s journey into manhood and “cleverly integrates” the ancient legacy of the Minotaur with the contemporary journey of a teenager searching for his biological father.

The Medal for Illustration and The 2024 Shadowers’ Choice Medal for Illustration have been awarded to The Tree and the River by Aaron Becker.

Looking at the evolution of human impact on the natural environment through the fate of a lone tree and an enduring river, the timely story gives “a sense of hope”, with Becker’s use of colour to depict the seasons “transformative” and use of light “exceptional”.

The Shadowers’ Choice Medal for Writing has been awarded to Crossing the Line by Tia Fisher.

Based on a true story about teenagers swept up into county lines, this ‘innovative and engaging’ story shows the power of poetry to convey difficult truths in a way that engages and excites young minds.

Those looking are looking for any extra reading should take a look at this year's shortlist for the Yoto Carnegie awards: https://yotocarnegies.co.uk/writing-shortlist-2024/ as well as winners from previous years: https://yotocarnegies.co.uk/archive/writing-winners/.

“Working with Milda and Vivek has been so easy; they are very professional, welcoming and flexible, so it’s been a dream really coming to this tutoring centre. We are delighted with Gabriela’s progress: she has improved so much, in her confidence, in her attitude to the subject - and she looks forward to the lessons. I highly recommend the tutoring centre for their professionalism, skills and high standards that they teach to.”

We are delighted to share with you the positive feedback contributed by the parents of students who have attended our group lessons and found these enjoyable and beneficial to their learning.

“We’ve really enjoyed the group setting. We’ve always done one-to-one tutoring, so we were a little bit hesitant, but actually it’s worked out really well. We found that in a small group setting where there are no more than eight students, they can bounce ideas off of each other, but also, there is one-to-one time because it’s such a small class. It worked out really well and we’re very happy.

We hope all our students and their parents enjoyed a relaxing May Half Term Break! We would like to remind parents that today marks the beginning of the second half of the Summer Term and all lessons will run according to the usual timetable.

We are excited to welcome all our students back to our classrooms this week!

We would like to remind parents that the second half of the Summer Term will commence next week, on Monday, 3rd June; all lessons will run according to the usual timetable.

Students attending Sunday lessons will have their final lesson of the first half of the Summer Term tomorrow on Sunday, 2nd of June. Their first lesson of the second half of the Summer Term then continues on Sunday 9th of June.
