In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek talks about the methods we employ at Trefoil Tutors to help students take ownership of their learning and strive to become more independent learners who are intrinsically motivated.

Finally, Vivek reminds those parents who are still deliberating whether to sign up for lessons now or wait until next term or next academic year about the importance of starting the course at the beginning of the Key Stage, or as close to it as possible; time really is of the essence when it comes to helping students cover the course in a comprehensive and structured manner, as well as develop long-term learning habits.
