Expert Tuition, Coaching, Assessment and Parent Support. Helping everyone reach their full potential

03/08/2025

Gosh It's been a while... Such a busy year, and before you know it, it's the summer holidays again.,

Thank you to all the parents and students who have studied with us this year (I go by academic years). Every single one of you has shown resilience, perseverance and determination and your progress is a clear indicator of this so WELL DONE.

Those of you expecting exam results - whether you have studied with us or not - I wish you all the very best and hope you achieve the results you deserve.

As we move into a new school year, some things have changed. Although we strive to offer face to face tutoring across South Wales, we are finding that many tutors are solely delivering online due to the increased time and cost associated with the travelling which takes away valuable teaching time in the evenings.
In order to maximise the available slots on the timetable most of our lessons will be online in the new school year however please contact us with your requirements and we will do what we can.

Details of new courses and workshops will be released soon (what we have been working on this year and the reason we have been rather absent on social media!) so do keep your eyes peeled - especially if your child is in Secondary school and 6th Form!!

Merry Christmas to All Our Students, Families, Friends, Colleagues, Tutors, Partners and Suppliers.
We look forward to working with all throughout 2025.

My phone is listening!!!!!

I had a conversation today with a parent about their child's lunch box and the strict restrictions their particular school put in place. Low and behold this popped up on my feed within 2 hours ๐Ÿ˜…
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/foodanddrink/other/dietician-explains-exactly-what-to-put-in-a-healthy-school-lunchbox/ar-AA1pDh3v?ocid=msedgntp&pc=NMTS&cvid=0ed2f0dbc7d4473396ef091f53132c19&ei=63

Got me thinking...

As a parent you want the best for your child obviously, but there are many factors (the obvious being time and budget). But also there are cultural differences, dietary requirements and of course allergies which extend to other children's meals.

Is it OK for a school to ban all nut related products across the whole school because one child has a nut allergy for example?

What do you pack for your child's lunches and why? No judgement, answer anonymously if you prefer, but this study was based on just 800 parents. Where? What average income? What other mitigating circumstances?

Very interested to get your input, thoughts and experiences on this.

Picture is of literally no lunchbox I have ever seen ๐Ÿ˜‚ I don't care where you're from, what you do or how much time and money you have - nobody ever cuts their kids strawberries into butterflies.... do they?

How fast does 12 weeks go?๐Ÿ˜ž

TO THINK IT'S ONLY 15 WEEKS TILL CHRISTMAS ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

If your child started the new school year and already experienced lost learning over the summer, start now and see how much they can progress in as little as 12 weeks.

We don't advocate or promote the use of any one particular scheme or specific reading program, but use our expertise to tailor a program specifically for the learner. With the right tutor and the right resources you will be amazed at what your child can achieve.

Don't wait until they are falling behind, build their confidence now and get them ahead!

As a parent it can be difficult to keep up with all the terminology and changes in the education system. Let us help guide and support you and your child.

โœ…We don't just tutor your child, we provide a holistic approach which supports you throughout your child's learning journey.

โœ…We are not yet another faceless online agency, we are a tuition business, working closely with families and schools to understand your child and provide support and guidance specifically for them and you.

โœ…We don't take on every student, we meet with you and your child to understand their needs, learning styles and aspirations and decide together if we are a good fit for each other. Hiring a personal tutor is an investment and one you can ill afford financially or time wise to get wrong.

Get in touch today to book a free discovery meeting, or go to the website www.making-the-grade.co.uk and take our free initial assessment. You will receive a personal report which initially suggests the best learning path for your child whether that be with us or not.

For an honest, personalised approach to your child's learning pathway, get in touch with us today!

Is your child excited to return to school this year?

I hear lot's of parents saying to children "this is an important year for you", especially when they are sitting exams or transitioning. But every year is important because without the proper groundwork and fundamental knowledge in place, they will struggle to build on it during these "important years" and may start falling behind their peers and not hitting key targets or milestones.

We all know that education and training is a lifelong journey, changing careers, developing skills, having the freedoms to choose our destination. But wherever life takes you, the basic GCSE's is rarely a negotiation and needed to enter many further courses.
