Our support
Diagnostic and study plan: We begin with a short skills audit and review of your course requirements and deadlines. From this, we build a targeted plan that sequences topics, embeds skills practice, and allocates time for assignments and revision – so effort maps directly to outcomes.
Subject mastery (STEM, Social Sciences, Humanities, Business): Teaching is aligned to your Access syllabus and assessment criteria. We prioritise threshold concepts, common misconceptions, and the specific command words used in your assignments and exams.
Academic writing and study skills: Explicit instruction in critical reading, planning, paragraphing, argumentation, and referencing. You’ll develop a repeatable workflow – from interpreting briefs to drafting and refining – so your submissions are clearer, more rigorous, and within academic rules.
Assignments and portfolios (integrity-compliant support): We help you unpack briefs, scaffold structure, and quality-check for coherence, evidence, and correct citation. Guidance is advisory; all wording remains your own, ensuring full compliance with provider policies.
Maths & English benchmarks (functional skills / GCSE): If Level 2 Maths/English or GCSE 4/C is required, we create a parallel pathway to reach it efficiently. Teaching focuses on high-yield skills, real-world application, and timed practice for Functional Skills or GCSE resits.
Our approach
Adult-centred and goal-led: Our tutors will factor in prior experience and work constraints (work, caring, shift patterns) when planning programmes. Learning objectives are tied to your immediate course tasks and medium-term milestones to keep progress visible and motivating.
Assessment-backwards design: We plan from grading criteria and exemplar standards, then teach the knowledge and techniques that earn marks. Rubrics are translated into clear success criteria you can apply independently.
Evidence-informed methods: Retrieval practice, worked examples, spacing, and deliberate practice are built into each unit. This strengthens long-term retention and speeds transfer from guided to independent work.
Flexible delivery, consistent quality: Online, in-person, or hybrid. The same lesson architecture, resources, and feedback loops are used across formats, so quality and momentum are maintained even when schedules shift.
