It’s also a great opportunity for families to see our centre in action and decide whether LEA Tuition is the right fit.
My daughter has recently had 2 sessions per week for a term and a half at LEA Tuition in preparation for her maths GCSE re sit exams this week. The owner was so welcoming and friendly from the moment we first went in. The maths teachers are brilliant tutors and both went above and beyond at explaining things so my daughter understood and got her head around certain areas she wasn’t sure about. I just wish I had booked the tutor sessions a lot more in advance of her GCSEs!
My daughter attended LEA Tuition to catch up on missed science lessons in the run up to her GCSEs. She received excellent tuition from Ammar and really enjoyed the small group of students she was with. Ammar was able to give her a tailored program that has really boosted her confidence particularly in regards to physics which she was dreading. Thank you Ammar and the team. The revision sessions directly before her exams were particularly helpful.
My experience at LEA Tuition has been really positive with all teachers like Naz, Charlene, Paul and Tessa have been really nice and hardworking helping me learn in different ways and succeed in my subjects. Everyone is like family and you bond relationships really fast with the staff.
