In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reminds students that our lessons resume next week, on Monday, the 2nd of November. In order to ensure a strong start to the new half term, Vivek shares six important pieces of advice that students should consider before returning to lessons.

‘There is a lot of support with the teaching here at Trefoil Tutors. If I want to make my lessons better there are seminars the tutors can attend and there are ways in which the teachers here can help you become better. Not only am I teaching, but I am also improving my own skill set, which I feel is very valuable in the long term.’

‘Trefoil is a very professional working environment. It gives you the ability to teach something that you love to students who really need your help. Its allows you as the tutor to make the decisions for when you want to tutor yourself and the timings that best suit you. It is very user friendly and provides the best working environment for the tutee.’

Following enquiries from a number of parents, we are delighted to inform you that during the Easter holidays, we will be running Mathematics and English mock examinations for pupils who are preparing to sit their GCSE and A-level examinations in May 2019.

The Mathematics group lessons will be run by Vivek Gathani, a qualified Mathematics teacher with a PGCE from the University of Oxford and four years of experience teaching mathematics at Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School, as well as eleven years of experience of private tutoring.

English group lessons are run by Milda Sabunaite, an outstanding full-time tutor with over five years of experience in private tutoring and ten years of working with educational youth charities.

Ibrahim's Mum:

"I’ve been to so many tutors and didn’t know what to do, so I came in the middle of the year to Trefoil Tutors. As soon as we started, it was very comforting, organised and very professional. It was what we needed 100%."

I think that the feedback we received was brilliant because it gave you an idea of which areas he was struggling with and pointed out specifically what he needed to work on. It helped Kabir and me, because we were working together as a team - the tutor, the parent and the child. I think that is the best bit and they couldn't have done it better.
