As always, in order to help ensure continuity, we would like to give priority to students already attending the lessons to book their place in the upcoming term before we offer the places to pupils on our waiting list.
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!
