With exam season upon us, Year 11 and Year 13 students are in the final stages of preparing for their GCSE and A Level examinations. This can be an incredibly stressful time for not only students but also their parents and it can often be challenging to strike the right balance between revision and respite in the coming weeks. To help support revision in our respective subjects, the Lead Tutors at Trefoil Tutors have written subject-specific advice for all of our students outlining how to best prepare for their upcoming examinations. This should act as a guide and help both reinforce and build upon the strategies already being used to ensure academic success. We hope students will find this a useful resource in structuring their revision time and tailoring their revision approach in order to prepare for the upcoming examinations.

Wishing all our students well during this revision period!

As we are approaching the end of the academic year, we hope you have found our lessons beneficial and enjoyable. Over the coming weeks, we will be collecting feedback from our current students and their parents.

We would be very grateful if you could spend five minutes of your time completing a short feedback questionnaire on your experiences of working with us. Parents of our current students will have received an email containing a link to the questionnaire form, as well as instructions on where to find the form via the online portal. Students will receive feedback forms from their tutor in their upcoming lessons.

We appreciate all feedback in order to continue improving the way we work with our tutees and their parents and look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thank you in advance for your time!

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.

“Kiani has been doing Science lessons with Rebecca. I have personally found that Rebecca has really helped Kiani understand the gaps in her knowledge and taught how to answer questions correctly and intelligently. She has been really open with Kiani and they have been able to have friendly conversations about Kiani’s work. Certainly, when I’ve had the feedback online and over the phone, she has given us really good advice, and mentioned areas where Kiani had developed and where she still needed to improve. I think Rebecca has been incredible.”

As we begin the final week of lessons before the Half Term break, we would like to remind students that they will be sitting a 30-minute assessment in their lessons this week.

We would like to remind students and parents that this is the final week of group lessons before our May Half Term break. Please note that no group lessons will be taking place between Monday, 27th May and Saturday, 1st June as our office closes for the Half Term break.

Please be reminded that students attending Sunday lessons will have their final lesson of the first Half Term on Sunday, 2nd of June.

To our Year 11 and Year 13 students, we would like to wish all the best in your final stretch of revision. Remember to plan your time and strike a balance between revision and rest - the exam season is a marathon not a sprint!

We wish you all a relaxing break and we look forward to seeing you in Week 7!

From all of us at Trefoil, we would like to wish you all a blessed Pentecost Sunday!

We are delighted to announce that this week, parents of our current students will have received information via email regarding their reserved places in our group lessons in the new academic year. These places have been reserved for our current students in line with the information provided via the Declaration of Interest forms.

In order to book your place, please make sure that the payment has been made in accordance with the invoices provided by Sunday, 26th May. If payment has not been received by this date, the place will no longer be reserved and will be offered to students in our waiting lists.

We are delighted to say that in the new academic year, we will offer lessons in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, English, Reasoning, Science and Chemistry to students from Year 3 to Year 13.

With the new academic year approaching, we are already receiving a larger than ever number of enquiries from students looking to attend our lessons in September.

If you would still like to reserve a place in any additional group lessons, please contact our Registrar, Esther, by calling 0203 565 0539 or by emailing registrar@trefoiltutors.co.uk.

We look forward to hearing from you!

“The online portal is very useful. It is useful having access to download all of the class materials, as well as the summer resources. I go there a lot if the children have lost something or just to print off an extra copy of the work.

The progress reports are excellent, you also get a notification when the feedback comments are available, then you follow the link and it’s all there. If you want to go back and compare to see how they did four or five weeks ago, the historic feedback is all there too. With the progress, you can track how they’ve done in their assessments and you can see it in the graphs, with both the average marks and the comments in one place. Everything is recorded and it’s great to be able to track how your child is performing.”

We would like to wish the best of luck to all students who are sitting their GCSE and A Level examinations in the coming weeks!

We know you have worked incredibly hard preparing for your examinations. Now is the time to stay focused and remember the lessons learnt during your revision and practice.

Our fingers are firmly crossed for you!

Mental Health Awareness week commences today, with the theme “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”.

Research has shown that regular physical activity can make us happier and healthier. Our bodies release feel-good hormones when we're active, which can reduce anxiety and stress and help us sleep better.​ By building movement into our working day, we can have a positive impact on productivity and focus.

The Mental Health Foundation offers some useful advice and provides downloadable resources about mental health as well as advice on becoming a Mental Health First Aider:

The Junior Mathematics Challenge begins today, with Year 7 and Year 8 students competing for gold, silver and bronze certificates across the country.

This challenge, created by The United Kingdom Mathematics Trust is intended to encourage mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems. The problems on the Junior Mathematical Challenge are designed to make students think. Most are accessible, yet still challenge those with more experience.

From all of us at Trefoil, we would like to wish you all a happy St. George’s Day!

Happy birthday, William Shakespeare!

Although we don't really know when the great English playwright was born (and, indeed, there is plenty of debate over his identity to begin with!), the 23rd of April is traditionally observed as Shakespeare's birthday.
