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

At what time are the sessions?

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 students through new skills or reviewing skills the students may have forgotten. As students work on lessons to demonstrate understanding, and eventually mastery, of these skills, tutors will monitor their progress. Tutors leave feedback after each lesson providing information on the students’ performance and progress. Parents can log on to our website and check the feedback left by the tutor.

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 Degree. They also have a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) as standard.

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 one off revision sessions or regular lessons for the student.

Can I reschedule a lesson?

Any lesson that needs to be cancelled or rearranged can be done so with 36 hours notice. Whether this is to change a student’s timetable permanently or simply for a one off lesson, we can support to make sure the lessons are running at a time that best suits the needs of the student.
