In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reflects on the last two weeks and celebrates the good work we have all completed.

We are delighted to share with you the positive feedback contributed by the parents of students who have attended our group lessons and found these enjoyable and beneficial to their learning.

“First and foremost, it is an extremely nurturing environment, which gives a lot of personal attention to each student. Personally, my boys absolutely love coming here and the fact that they love coming here and they still learn is amazing. Some kids will only like going somewhere because they’re going to have a good time and not really get much out of it, but they enjoy coming here - regardless of what time it might be, whether it's eight in the morning or five in the evening - and they get a lot out of it as well.

I think that comes from that nurturing environment, and the fact that Trefoil Tutors takes a lot of time and care in making sure that the material is age appropriate, and is appropriate for whatever target you’ve set yourself, whether it’s the 11+ or A Levels, or GCSEs. A lot of care goes into the material they provide, the way they approach the lessons, and also the planning they do. It is really everything you’d want from a tuition centre, and we cannot say enough good things about it and our experience has been only positive. It’s like a family, and we feel part of that family now.”

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek does his best impression of a newsreader, summarising a busy week at Trefoil. Vivek reminds parents of the continued building work taking place in the car park. Vivek goes on to inform parents about the first set of academic monitoring emails that will be sent this week. With the cold season upon us, Vivek encourages students to attend lessons face-to-face if they are well enough to do so, but equally, to make use of the calling-in facility if they are unwell. Vivek also reminds students to complete corrections and begin their revision for the assessment in Week 6. With parents of our students in mind, Vivek proudly announces the start of the event schedule at Trefoil, with the 11+ Parents' Advice Evening taking place on Monday 16th October. Our Director of Accounts Milda brings two important announcements. Firstly, our full year payment discount is available until the end of the Half Term (16 October). Parents are welcome to secure their child's place for the full academic year and receive an additional £100 discount per subject. Secondly, Milda reminds parents of how important it is to join our courses at the start rather than mid-way through the year, and encourages parents to review the available places in the range of subjects we teach at Trefoil Tutors.
