Teacher reviews of our online secondary school tutoring

“The pupils have engaged, enjoyed and showed tangible progress since we started using the programme in Years 10 and 11. I have no hesitation in recommending TLC to any secondary school looking for high quality intervention strategies.”

Peter Gibbon – Assistant Head, Great Baddow High School, Chelmsford

“I can highly recommend TLC LIVE. Over the years they have been assisting us with our GCSE students and have had a significant impact on raising our students’ achievements. We are also working with them on other year groups with equal success. I look forward to our continued partnership”

Howard Lay – Executive Principal, Samuel Ward Academy, Haverhill

“Whilst it is difficult to disentangle the work of TLC from the other inputs these students receive, there is no doubt that they have a positive impact on the individuals they support, so much so that in the last academic year, the 31 members of year 11 that they worked with and that passed maths added 15% to our 5 A*-C with English and Maths figure.”

Andy Prestoe – Head of School, Samuel Ward Academy, Haverhill

Frequently asked questions

Will the student be speaking to a real person?

Yes, they will! All our online lessons are held in real time with a live tutor that the student can hear and speak to.

How long does each session last?

Sessions last for 60 minutes.

At what time are the sessions?

Lessons can be scheduled to suit the student’s needs. TLC LIVE also runs lots of lessons over holidays as targeted revision or catch-up sessions.

Is the tutoring based on the student’s needs?

Yes! This is the whole point of TLC LIVE. The tutor will identify the student’s learning needs and skill gaps and build an individual learning plan around these requirements.

Do you give homework?

No. TLC LIVE lessons are structured to maximise learning and address gaps in the student’s knowledge within the session.

Do students have tailored lesson plans?

Yes, every student is given their own individual learning plan. After the initial assessment, we put a plan together that deals with the skill gaps identified. The plan will be adjusted as other areas of required academic focus come to light.

What learning content will the student be using?

We have our own bespoke educational content that we update on a daily basis.

How does TLC LIVE monitor student progress?

Tutors work with students in real time, guiding them through new skills and reviewing things the students may have forgotten. At the end of every session, tutors provide information on the student’s performance and progress. Parents can access this by logging into the TLC LIVE website and reviewing this feedback, watching as their child develops understanding, and eventually mastery, of the topics they are studying.

What qualifications do TLC LIVE tutors have?

All of our UK-based tutors are fully qualified to teach and have classroom teaching experience. We ensure all tutors have Qualified Teaching Status (QTS) and are PGCE qualified with an accompanying bachelor’s degree. Each of our tutors also holds a DBS or equivalent.

Can I cancel a session?

All lessons can be cancelled or rearranged with 36 hours’ notice. This gives you the freedom to use TLC LIVE as and when you need it, whether for one-off revision sessions or regular lessons.

Can I reschedule a lesson?

Yes, you can cancel and reschedule a session provided that you give us 36 hours’ notice. Whether this is to change a student’s timetable permanently or simply for a one-off lesson, we can support you to ensure the lessons are running at a time that best suits your child’s needs.
