TUITION FOR PUPILS AGED 6 years to teens, WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, 7 DAYS A WEEK !!!WANT YOUR CHILD TO MAKE THEIR MARK ON THE WORLD? Contact us today! Our current roster of pupils run from age 7 to 19 years, and we are operating across England in 5 counties and internationally in 4 countries! Almost all of our pupils are referred by current clients.
Clever Cat Tuition was started over a decade ago, by Amber Astron-Christo, B.Ed.(Hons), M.A., to give an all-round child-centred service. We have been working with some families over a period of many years and have seen children blossom in both their confidence and achievements. Other pupils have received exam support and entered their chosen
private school, or have gone on to
Grammar school after 11+ or been successful in IELTS (Cambridge International English Tests).
In 2024, we have again, for the 4th year running, received 100% pass rate in 11+ exam, with the majority of pupils in the top 150, with a choice of multiple schools! Congratulations to all of you, fabulous work!
With extensive and successful experience with online tuition for overseas pupils, during the pandemic the business was remodelled and all tuition is now online. We use
SKYPE, as this is very user friendly and simple to navigate for all ages; we have never encountered any safety issues either, (an important consideration).
Teaching materials are provided, including any necessary books and work folders AT NO EXTRA COST! This is because research shows that physical writing helps aid memory/learning.
Clever Cat Tuition offers: - English/Maths tuition, either as short booster or 'catch up' courses; or SATS preparation.
- 11 PLUS for Grammar or Private school, tuition & exam preparation. (We have numerous pupils from China, who have successfully studied to enter private school in UK or international English schools.)
- English as a 2nd Language: courses for Juniors to Teenagers, including general English improvement; exam preparation; creative writing and IELTS. We can also offer additional courses in biology or history
- Specific teaching/learning techniques for children with Special/Additional Educational Needs; dyslexia screening; a full literacy /language assessment and written report service. But please note, children with additional needs may find accessing learning online more challenging and may find it more difficult to focus. If this is expected you will be recommended to find a tutor who provides home tuition.
- We also offer a range of Primary School subjects/general advice for children who are Home Schooled.
Tutoring fees are £35 per hour for individual tuition. Work folders, books and individually designed tuition materials are included in the fee.
Assessment work/report writing is £40 per hour.
Group Tuition may be offered in certain situations; individual fee will then receive a small reduction.
The first online 'Meet & Greet' session is offered FREE so a basic assessment and tuition plan can be made.For 11+ work please remember the earlier your child starts the better. Not only do children need to be consistently working at a high level within their school class, they have to cover curriculum content for Year 6, have an extensive vocabulary, as well as learning strategies to tackle the exam format. This means a commitment on the child's part and a willingness to take on extra homework. A lot of effort is made to instil a sense of confidence in the pupil to allow them to focus and tackle the challenge in a positive way.
We now offer 11+ tuition ON LINE, so we can offer tuition where ever you are!Tutoring format is designed for the individual child's needs: it may be that just a little help is needed in specific parts of the curriculum, along with confidence building; perhaps your child is obviously 'bright' but not achieving, or seems bored; your child may be struggling, but no one is listening and you think they may need on-going help; or they may benefit from a clearly structured approach to their learning which gets them to focus, but also allows them to explore their learning in more depth and stretch their obvious abilities.
For children with additional needs we use a range of teaching strategies, including a multi-sensory approach and practical activities, as well as individual project work.
