Our aims

At ActiveStudy we aim to provide students with the support they need to narrow the gap in their learning, as well as identify their strengths in order to help them achieve their potential.

We also support students during transition between key stages as this can be a difficult jump for some.

For those students within Wandsworth we provide support for the 11+ Wandsworth tests – Verbal and Non-verbal reasoning.

What we offer

We are DBS checked and qualified tutors who provide one-on-one tutoring that will increase the student’s understanding and confidence,while having a positive impact on their attitude towards education.

We also prepare students for 7+, 11+, SATs, GCSE & ‘A’ Level tests and help them with exam techniques and strategies in order to maximise their performance during exams.

Our approach

Our approach is based on proven methods and research in teaching and learning and we plan with reference to the National Curriculum document 2014.

When teaching English we believe that closing the ‘vocabulary gap’ is an important academic tool for school success and to communicate with confidence. We pay particular attention on developing our students’ breadth and depth of vocabulary alongside the literacy targets. 


In Maths we aim to build fluency in maths and ‘number sense’ which is vital to achieving the targets within the Maths curriculum. 

At ActiveStudy we deliver our lessons using 5 steps:

1

Review

Review and refresh previous learning

2

Explain

Explain the lesson objectives and strategies to achieve them

3

Practice

Repetition, practice and application

4

Reflection

Reflection and context of learning

5

Next steps

Closing the gap and next steps

Our impact

We regularly assess our students inorder to ensure progress, but more importantly we also seek to increase their understanding and confidence in the subject, as well as develop a positive attitude towards education and English and Maths.

From the testimonials of parents and students, as well as the success in entrance exams and end of year exams, we feel we are having a positive impact on our student’s learning.
