Some people think we're crazy to start talking about revision so early in the school year, but there is sound research to suggest that this is where there are serious gains to be made. (especially if you are half way through your GCSEs,IB or A Levels).

We love efficiency, especially when the same input can produce greater outputs. Have a read of this blog by some very clever people which really highlights the gains that you can make if you make spaced practice part of your working routine.

What will you regularly spend 20 minutes on?

This is the third post in a series designed to help students learn how to study effectively. You can find the first post here  and the second post here . The purpose is to provide students with a resource that can help them take charge of their own learning. Today’s ...

It was fantastic to meet up with our partner charity in Mombasa this summer.

Hatua (which is Swahili for 'Action') facilitate students from low income households to attend school, aiming to end generational poverty by giving these students opportunities they would otherwise not have had.

We met members of staff who work in finance, hr, student support and counselling and outreach. Whilst we were there, they were training their facilitators who run their summer workshops which provide students with the necessary soft skills to make the most of opportunities that come their way.

Being linked with such a worthwhile charity gives us purpose and drive, and it has given us an almighty boost into the new academic year. As a non-profit, 5 Kites is really looking to maximise its impact on our local and global community. Reach out for more information about our connection with Hatua or your tuition needs.

Always great to have happy students, especially when they surpass their predicted grades.

Thank you to all the team at 5 Kites Education for another great academic year: tutors, pupils, parents and all the wider community. We may be pretty quiet on the socials, but rest assured that it’s been go-go-go in the world of teaching and learning: new subjects offered, new tutors, more hours of quality 1:1 tuition.
This means we’ve been able to raise more funds for our partner education charity - an inspiring group doing amazing things for education access and opportunities in Mombasa, Kenya. More on this to follow.
But for now, it’s time to pause the teaching, close the text books, shut down the screen and enjoy some summer R&R. Enjoy and well done, all, for the academic year that was (2023-2024).

A lovely review and reminder that personal tuition can be really beneficial. So glad we could help:
“ I just wanted to pass on my own sincere thanks to you for everything you did for Ciaran. Before he came to you, he was looking at a grade 4 at best in both English language and literature but achieving 2 grade 7s- 2 marks off an 8- is testament to your fantastic tuition and how well Ciaran got on with you.”

A warm welcome to Abi, an English teacher who joins our team of talented tutors at 5 Kites Education.

“After a first career as a lawyer, Abi retrained as an English teacher during the Covid pandemic. Her first role was at one of Africa’s leading schools, where she taught English across both Prep and Senior. Abi has a BA (Hons) in English Language and Law, a Law degree and a PGCE (Secondary English), and so has a fair amount of wisdom to share on degree and career choices! She loves simply being outdoors, horses, running and her dog, Bertie.”

Abi is available for all levels of tuition, specialising in KS3 and GCSE English and English Literature.
