“I have seen massive changes in my daughter’s attitude to maths. She has gone leaps and bounds in confidence when approaching papers.

We would like to say a big congratulations to all the students who sat their 11+ entrance exams this year and successfully got through this demanding process in the face of many changes to the admissions procedures.

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek talks about the methods we employ at Trefoil Tutors to help students become independent learners who are intrinsically motivated and have ownership over their studies.

"For the 11+, I’m happy with all that Vivek has done. He is always here to advise me. If she is struggling with something, I’ll always say to him that she is finding this hard or she is not coping with this very well, and he’ll always come up with a solution for me – he is always so helpful."

The previous year has been tough on everyone - but it is important to remember you do not have to go through it alone. If you are finding things difficult, speaking to someone might help. Several charities have dedicated helplines and are ready to offer you their ear and support.

As the Spring Term gets under way, we are delighted to welcome over 300 students to our Mathematics, English, Science and Reasoning lessons. At Trefoil Tutors, we are incredibly proud of the quality of teaching and learning we deliver across a range of different subjects.

In this week's senior tutor update video, Vivek reminds students that it is the first assessment week of the term. For our continuing students, this will be a path well trodden; however our new joiners will be experiencing Trefoil assessments for the first time this week.

Our Senior Tutor, Vivek Gathani, shares his advice with parents who are looking to find the right support for their children. In this video, Vivek has outlined four guidelines that he advises all parents to follow before engaging a tutor to work with their child.

With the 11+ entrance examinations nearing completion, this week, a number of Independent Schools are starting their interviewing process for 11+. We would like to wish the best of luck to all candidates who are attending interviews in the upcoming days!

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reflects on the difference a year has made to our teaching and learning setup with Covid-19 in the backdrop and celebrates the increasingly consistent learning process.

After a relaxing Christmas break, today we begin our Spring Term. We are excited to welcome all our returning and new students to lessons!

Vivek welcomes our new and returning students to the start of the second term of the academic year, and invites us all to get back into good routines with regards to our teaching and learning. The Spring Term is a vital twelve weeks where we will cover a lot of content and it is paramount that students quickly fall back into the rhythm of our lessons.

Wishing you all the very best for the start of the new term!

In order to help students practise little and often during their holidays and keep academic regression at bay, our lead Mathematics, English and Science tutors Vivek, Milda and Rebecca have prepared a set of holiday work assignments. Based on the material covered throughout the Autumn Term, the assignments are a great way to help students review the topics from the term just gone as well as make a running start for the term to come.

All holiday work assignments and answers for all year groups (Year 4 to Year 13) are freely available via our website:
