In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reviews the past weeks at Trefoil Tutors and introduces our new team member Anita. Our Registrar Milda then reminds parents to use the full year payment discount before the 18th of October deadline and announces that registration is now open for Year 3 Mathematics and English lessons and Year4 Reasoning lessons in January. Finally, Milda encourages A Level students who are looking for additional support in Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry to contact us now to minimise the amount of independent catch up work required.

'My son has been coming to Trefoil for over a year now and really enjoys it. He's progressing and learning; the lessons really helped him at school, but more importantly, his confidence in mathematics has really improved. Trefoil Tutors are a very professional company - they are very supportive and always available whenever we need them.'

Following a number of enquiries from parents, we are delighted to announce that this academic year, we continue to offer the full-year booking discount of £100 until the start of the half-term break, the 18th of October.

So far, 16% of parents have booked their child's place in the group lessons for the full academic year and have received the £100 discount (for students attending 36 lessons throughout the year).

As we start the new academic year, we would like to share our Term Dates for 2021 / 2022 with parents and students. Students will attend twelve lessons each term, with Year 4, 5, 11 and 12 students attending an additional set of six lessons in August 2022. Please note that Year 11 and Year 13 students will end their academic year after the first half of the Summer Term. No lessons take place during half term breaks and holidays.

In this week’s update video, our Senior Tutor Vivek reviews the first Assessment Week of the academic year and reminds students of the good routines we’ve been establishing. Additionally, Vivek discusses a number of effective revision methods which will be helpful to all our students regardless of their age.

At Trefoil Tutors, we believe that effective communication between the tutor, the student and the parents is very important for successful teaching and learning. We are delighted to share the positive feedback contributed by the parents of students who have attended our group lessons and found the feedback provided by our tutors informative and beneficial.

With a number of Grammar school 11+ examinations taking place in the coming weeks, we are delighted to offer a FREE 11+ entrance English mock paper to help students in their revision. The mock paper is written by our lead English tutor Milda, a full-time tutor who has been preparing pupils for 11+ entrance examinations to Grammar and Independent schools since 2013. The mock paper is modelled on 11+ entrance papers to top Grammar schools in the North London area.

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, our Director of Studies Rebecca shares her advice as students revise for their first assessment this academic year. Our Senior Tutor Vivek comments on the importance of getting into consistent working habits as we settle into the Autumn Term.

In this week’s video, our Senior Tutor Vivek thanks all our parents and students for diligently following our new Covid-19 guidelines and parking regulations. The second week of the term is particularly important as this is the perfect time for us to build good routines which will make our work much easier throughout the rest of the academic year.

Our Registrar Milda reminds parents about the possibility to register students for lessons in more than one subject, as well as place siblings’ names on our waiting list if you would like to join our lessons in the future. We are delighted to continue offering our recommendation, multiple subject and sibling discounts this year.

Have a great week, everyone!

After a summer of preparations, today, our team are thrilled to launch the new academic year at Trefoil Tutors.

We are delighted to welcome back our students from last year, and greet new students joining us for the first time. Over the next seven days, we will see over 300 students attending their first lessons in Mathematics, Science, Reasoning and English.

We look forward to working with you and wish you all an enjoyable and rewarding academic year!

As we begin the new academic year, our Senior Tutor Vivek welcomes new and returning students to our lessons that begin on Monday, the 6th of September. Vivek introduces students and parents to the Welcome Booklet that students will receive in their first lesson and summarises the Covid-19 measures that are implemented in accordance with our Covid-19 policy.

“It was such a fantastic idea for Vivek and Milda to organise the 11+ Parents’ Evening because I had no clue about 11+: I didn’t know what to expect, I was scared from what people had told me. But coming here it made me feel more comfortable about it. There’s nothing as good as feeling and knowing that you are supported.”

With the new school year around the corner, the start of September brings a big change to thousands of students who will be making the transition from primary to a secondary school. Last year, our lead tutor Vivek Gathani published a video sharing his advice about making the most of the experience and supporting your son or daughter through this exciting - albeit sometimes daunting - moment of their school life. As we begin a new academic year, we would like to share his tips with you.

Having worked at Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School for four years as a teacher, Year 7 form tutor and deputy housemaster, Vivek is closely familiar with the day-to-day opportunities and challenges the students face in a new school.

Nik joins us as a Tutor of Mathematics, offering additional Year 9 and Year 10 Mathematics classes to students preparing for the upcoming GCSE examinations.

Nik comes to the Trefoil Tutors team with over 7 years of experience as Teacher of Mathematics at Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School.
