The effect tutoring can have...
Consistent attendance in school is key, however, pupils who miss lessons may find it harder to come back if they have significant knowledge gaps. We want to support these pupils to ensure they have the tools and confidence to get back on track. Read the story of Year 10 pupil 'G', written by tutor Sarah, to see the impact a supportive tutor can have.
When pupil G had her first session, she had come into school only to attend tuition. At the time, G was not attending after a recent incident left her feeling anxious to return. The school were able to use tutoring as a way of supporting G into attending school full-time again, which she did. Throughout our 12 sessions, G’s confidence grew, and she continued to show a really positive attitude towards learning. She shared that she had also chosen to attend additional intervention sessions after school, and these were both helping in her main lessons.
G’s hard work and progress was brilliantly illustrated by her amazing achievement of doubling her percentage in her endpoint assessment – going from a score of 35% to 70%. It was great to see G recognise her achievement and feel proud of all the work she had done over the programme."Sarah - Tutoring Plus Tutor
