“My students have to understand, tutoring is only my second job!”
I was rather surprised to read this in an email from one of our tutors yesterday, as I’m sure you can imagine. Don’t get me wrong, we are well aware that tutoring is often a way to earn some spare cash in spare time rather than a career choice.

Using new methods based on teaching children how the right answer is achieved rather than relying on memory standards seem to have improved. Currently four out of five children are reaching the level expected of them at the end of primary school, and a third of 11-year-olds are reaching the standard expected of a 13-year-old.
