Key Stage 3

What makes us unique

• ubject-specialist tutors: From English, Maths, and Science to Humanities and Languages, our KS3 tutors have in-depth knowledge of their subjects and a keen understanding of the challenges students face during this transition.

• Developing independent learners: At this stage, we focus on critical thinking, analytical skills, and problem-solving, preparing students for the increased rigour of KS4.

• Tailored lessons: We build on each student’s strengths while addressing areas that need improvement. Lessons include a mix of targeted practice, guided discussions, and exam-style questions to build familiarity with assessment formats.

Core Skill Areas We Support

We have knowledgable and dedicated Maths, English and Science departments in addition to many other mainstream subjects. All tutors will ensure that they cover:

• Core knowledge for that subject.

• ​Build on the KS3 knowledge in preparation for GCSE studies.

• Practice good exam technique and revision skills such as time management, organisation and effective note-taking.

Why Tuition Matters at This Age

Key Stage 3 is often when students begin to lose or gain academic momentum. Tuition at this stage can:

• Fill gaps from KS2 and lay a secure foundation for GCSEs.

• Increase confidence in tackling more complex topics and problem-solving.

• Prepare students for the style of assessment and coursework at KS4.

• Stretch and challenge students ready to exceed expectations.

What a Typical KS 3 Session Looks Like

• Skill Review: Quick recap of previous learning.

• Topic Focus: In-depth exploration of subject content (e.g., essay planning or algebra practice).

• Application: Real-life problems, exam-style questions, or interactive exercises.

• Feedback & Action Plan: Next steps for schoolwork and independent practice.
