Tutoring Heroes has provided first-class maths tutoring in Guernsey since 2019. Check out some of our online reviews to see our maths tuition track record in Guernsey.
Our very first maths tutoring classes were held at Cobo Community Centre, Le Guet. We started small, supporting groups of three students at a time, for weekly sessions. We didn’t anticipate the demand for maths tuition in the area. Parents of children began coming to us for more classes so we moved to a bigger venue in St Peter Port.
The move to online learning wasn’t something we’d planned for, but students reported that their tutoring experience improved.
The primary reason for this was that changing over to online tutoring also marked the move from supporting students in small groups, to offering much more personalised lessons in the form of 1-on-1 tutoring. As such, each individual student now benefits from seeing a private tutor every week and receiving support tailored to their specific needs and range of abilities. From start to finish, online sessions are built around each pupil’s learning style.
Fast-forward to 2023 and our expert maths tutors have supported primary level and secondary school students from practically every school in Guernsey. We’ve worked with a broad range of students from Vale Primary School in the north, to Ladies College and Guernsey Grammar School in the centre, down to St Martin’s Primary School in the south!
Since we first started giving tuition to students – and since making the switch to 1-on-1 tuition in 2020 – the response we have received from students and families has been unanimously positive. Parents love not having to travel to sessions, and being able to schedule tuition around home life and other activities. Plus, they love seeing their children flourish, gain confidence and learn to enjoy maths!
Our team of expert tutors looks forward to sharing their extensive knowledge with the students of Guernsey well into the future.
