2 Rated Excellent by parents OUR HISTORY I cannot praise them highly enough They are simply fantastic. They have created a fun environment that thoroughly engages children and really delivers results. 18 months ago I was really worried about my grandson s English, but he has improved drastically since attending Explore, which has done wonders for his confidence. I would thoroughly recommend Explore Learning for any child. Since 2001 over 200,000 children have excelled academically, reached their potential and achieved the best possible results with Explore Learning. We are unwavering in our mission to develop a generation of Fearless Learners; children who will excel in the classroom, be confident in exams and fearless in school and beyond. Born out of the desire to provide the best possible complement to a school education, our centres are accessible to all young learners, regardless of their means, background, or ability. Our first tuition centre opened in Chelmsford, with a handful of brilliant people, high hopes and a ton of energy and passion. It was an instant success and we have now grown to over 125 centres across the UK and have even expanded to the US. What s more, we ve won countless awards, been voted Best Tuition Provider in the UK and rated Excellent on the independent review site, Trustpilot. Confidence My daughter had fallen behind during Key Stage 1 and was being bullied, therefore she had lost her confidence. When we moved schools in Key Stage 2, we joined Explore Learning to help her catch up. Not only did she catch up, she developed her confidence and everything started to improve. This is a great environment for kids who are struggling, need confidence or want to excel at school.

Ages 4-14 Children with SEN, including Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD Gifted and Talented English as second language Need confidence support Need support with making new friends Love of learning Behind target Kade suffers from glue ear, which causes hearing difficulties. He was struggling with his phonics and reading and needed some extra help. The atmosphere at Explore makes learning feel fun for him. Kade has moved from being behind with his phonics to passing his SATs in just over a year! Emily, age 11 Member since April 2015 We joined Explore to help raise Emily s low self-esteem and confidence. The tutors always make Emily feel welcome in every session. They are supportive towards her by being friendly, approachable and encouraging. Since Emily has been attending, her school work and selfconfidence has significantly improved. This is clearly evident from her school reports and progression chart.

Book online at explorelearning.co.uk MATHS AND ENGLISH Of course we believe that maths, English and exams are extremely important, but in addition to that, we are truly passionate about inspiring a generation of go-getters. Young, capable people who can leave school confident, excited and fearless; ready to tackle whatever their future may hold. Confidence Confidence is the first step on a child s journey to success. From giving children the confidence to put their hand up, make friends or learn that sometimes it s OK to make mistakes-we re experts in building self-belief. Progress Independently proven results. Whether it s passing an exam, moving up a set at school or mastering new skills, we ensure children progress academically, socially and help improve their attitude to learning. Our mission is to inspire Fearless Learners. A Fearless Learner is someone who is not afraid to make mistakes and knows when to ask for help. They are thirsty for knowledge, and hungry to know why. What makes a Fearless Learner? A love of learning We give children the skills to unlock their imagination and discover the magic of learning. We inspire chidlren with an eagerness to find out more and a desire to understand; not because they have to, but because they want to. Be exam ready Is your child preparing to sit the 11 Plus, a local entrance exam, the SATs or an end-of-term test? Our tailored approach will encourage a fearless attitude, whilst developing their speed, accuracy and exam technique. A fearless learner isn t scared like a mouse, but brave like a lion, and that s what Explore Learning has helped me be! Sumitt, age 8, Hounslow member In a world of information, we need to challenge and question more than ever before. To help children thrive in school and beyond, we need to develop their learning habits, alongside their knowledge. Fearless Learners aren t always born that way, but with constant support and guidance from our tutors, children will develop resilience, confidence and the ability to step back and see how they can improve. Confidence to ask questions Determination to hunt for answers Knowing when to ask for help Excitement to try new things Not afraid to make mistakes Maths Problem solving English Reading Spelling Comprehension Brave to present in front of their class Gumption and a positive learning attitude

Expected progress in Year 8 David s expected progress in Year 8 David s progress at Explore Explore has been like a second home to him, where he is welcomed for who he is and celebrated for what he can do.

We have been members for about a year and David has progressed so much in his reading, comprehension and writing skills. In 2011 the University of Reading carried out an independent study to assess the impact Explore Learning has on children s academic and personal progress. The results proved: It s not a quick fix... Keira, 10 years Confidence boost I decided to join Explore because my daughter needed help in maths and English. Explore members significantly improved their Standardised Age Scores in Progress in English and Progress in Maths. Explore Learning members improvement in maths was 30% higher than that of the comparison group. Building confidence; overcoming shyness; being more independent and less reluctant to try without assistance were all elements that parents recognised in their children and directly attributed to Explore Learning. Tackling challenging areas, learning new skills and changing children s attitudes doesn t happen overnight. Enabling children to blossom into confident, independent learners is a long-term process. Our approach is designed to be a long-term complement to school, supporting your child in term time and holidays, to thrive in the classroom and beyond.
