“We just wanted to let you know that Sophie got an A grade in her GCSE maths. We are so pleased and proud of all the hard work she put in, and wanted to thank you for the help and confidence you gave her to help her achieve this.”

“My son is in Year 10 and is working with TLC to help him prepare for his GCSE maths, being taken a year early. Both of my children continue to attend TLC LIVE because the tutoring is tailored to suit their individual educational needs but, most importantly, they enjoy it.”

“Having had three children attending TLC LIVE over the last couple of years, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Not only does it provide a fun and interactive programme tailored to meet students’ individual needs, it also gives students the opportunity to learn at their own pace with the support of excellent and very encouraging tutors.”

How KS3 and KS4 maths tuition with TLC works

Step 1

Our KS3 and KS4 tuition starts with a free comprehensive initial assessment to measure each student’s strengths and weaknesses. Lesson courses run through term time, and you can book on to the whole course or join the remaining sessions. You only ever pay for the lessons your students attend.

Step 2

With the results of the assessment, one of our dedicated tutors creates a comprehensive learning plan. They have access to over 35,000+ hours of material to generate a plan that will help your student make the most progress.

Step 3

During each 60-minute session, students receive one-to-one secondary maths tuition from a tutor. All they need to do is log in from any internet-connected device and give their full attention.

Step 4

Once the session is over, the tutor makes notes on the pupil’s performance and shares it with their teacher. Regular best-in-class pupil assessments provide data to quantify their progress.

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 targeted 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. Schools can access this by logging into the TLC LIVE website and reviewing this feedback, watching as the student 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.

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 student’s needs.
