SERVICES
At Polestar we believe that at the heart of education is a strong relationship between the student and the educator. As such we make every effort to pair the right tutor to each student. All our tutors are experienced at delivering a tailored sessions to the student's needs. We adapt to what you need!
GCSE One-to-One Tuition
One-to-one sessions focusing on the subjects your young person needs support with. Every session is student led; we don't have a preconceived lesson plan; we work on what the student needs. We develop a tailored experience for KS3 and KS4 students and aim to help them maximise their potential.
NEW! Summer Slump Sessions
You, as a parent or carer, are probably aware of the Summer Learning Loss Syndrome; the phenomenon whereby young people experience either cognitive slide, declining mental health, or simply knowledge seeming to escape from the memory like water through a sieve. I know I have! I’ve seen capable students with great subject knowledge stare blankly at me come September. Polestar’s summer sessions enable students to keep that thirst for learning and knowledge awake. As always, we strive to make these sessions engaging and enjoyable, just as all education should be. You can read a bit more about the academic research into this Learning Loss here.
SMALL GROUP SESSIONS
Home education can be a challenge. You may feel (like many do) that you lack the subject specific knowledge in certain fields. We have that knowledge and we love to share! If you are part of a home education group, we would welcome the opportunity to work with you. Get in touch so we can set up a regular session following the syllabus of your choice for your local home education group. These sessions allow for interaction between students and follow the Polestar conversational model allow students to explore and expand their existing knowledge. Minimum group sizes apply.
