The Swot Shop recipe for success

Our staff, teaching methods and unique materials combine to help our pupils achieve their best.

The Swot Shop teaching method

Your child is assessed during their first session. From this we create an appropriate work scheme, individually tailored to your child's abilities. During the second lesson your child receives their own package of materials which have been individually selected to suit their needs.

Following a successful monitoring period, during which time we confirm that the materials are ideally suited, your child will then be set appropriate homework.
 

Throughout the term we monitor your child’s progress closely to make sure that the work is still appropriate to their individual abilities.

We encourage parents to speak to the teacher regularly for updates on a child's progress (usually every 5-6 weeks).

Our teaching staff

All our teachers are fully qualified, experienced teachers who are registered with the Department for Employment and Education. (We do not employ graduates without a teaching qualification or student teachers.)

We emphasise individual attention and guarantee a ratio of no more than 5 pupils to each member of staff.
 

Our unique teaching materials

We use the best materials available including a combination of high quality published schemes and specialist materials unique to Swot Shop.

We provide all the materials that your child needs for their classes so you won't need to provide any unexpected extras.

Write Swot™ is our monthly creative writing programme which is available to all Group Tuition pupils.

We provide audio-visual sound packs for children in the early stages of reading as well as special resources for use in number work.

We run a unique reading scheme which includes homework books from the Governments' National Curriculum recommended reading list for Key Stages 1 and 2.
