“I have seen massive changes in my daughter’s attitude to maths. She has gone leaps and bounds in confidence when approaching papers. She has learnt topics before she’s had to learn them at school, or has just had subjects reconfirmed for her during her tutoring at Trefoil.

We are delighted to introduce you to Anita, the newest member of the Trefoil Team. Anita joins us as our weekday evening assistant and brings a wealth of experience in the customer services industry. Students and parents will meet Anita as she supports the team in ensuring smooth arrivals to and departures from lessons. Welcome to the team, Anita!

We would like to remind all parents and students that this is the last week of lessons before the October half term break, with no lessons taking place between Monday, the 19th of October and Sunday, the 31st of October. As students prepare for their final lesson of the half term, we would like to remind everyone to thoroughly review classwork notes and homework assignments in preparation for the assessments in week 6!

In this week's Update, our Senior Tutor Vivek congratulates students as they enter the final week of our first half term. Our Director of Studies Rebecca shares useful revision advice and strategies as students prepare for their Week 6 Assessments.

"My daughter has had Mr G for about a year or so in preparation for 11+ and what we did notice is that she went from a bottom set in her school at maths to the middle of the top set. Where previously she just did not enjoy maths, now she actually enjoys it and is happy to tackle questions that a year ago she wouldn’t have even attempted.

This year, we have seen a number of Independent Schools in North London move the date of their entrance examinations from January 2022 to December 2021. With this in mind, we would like to invite those Year 6 students who have not yet booked a place to attend the 11+ mock examinations we will run in the October half term as well as during the Christmas Break.

Currently pursuing a degree in Medicine at King’s College London, Neil is a tutor who is closely familiar with the amount of work involved in achieving top grades having achieved excellent results throughout his own academic career as a scholar of Mill Hill School. Passionate about Biology and closely familiar with the updated curriculum, Neil tutors our A-level Biology students.

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reviews the past weeks at Trefoil Tutors and introduces our new team member Anita. Our Registrar Milda then reminds parents to use the full year payment discount before the 18th of October deadline and announces that registration is now open for Year 3 Mathematics and English lessons and Year4 Reasoning lessons in January. Finally, Milda encourages A Level students who are looking for additional support in Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry to contact us now to minimise the amount of independent catch up work required.

'My son has been coming to Trefoil for over a year now and really enjoys it. He's progressing and learning; the lessons really helped him at school, but more importantly, his confidence in mathematics has really improved. Trefoil Tutors are a very professional company - they are very supportive and always available whenever we need them.'

Following a number of enquiries from parents, we are delighted to announce that this academic year, we continue to offer the full-year booking discount of £100 until the start of the half-term break, the 18th of October.

So far, 16% of parents have booked their child's place in the group lessons for the full academic year and have received the £100 discount (for students attending 36 lessons throughout the year).

As we start the new academic year, we would like to share our Term Dates for 2021 / 2022 with parents and students. Students will attend twelve lessons each term, with Year 4, 5, 11 and 12 students attending an additional set of six lessons in August 2022. Please note that Year 11 and Year 13 students will end their academic year after the first half of the Summer Term. No lessons take place during half term breaks and holidays.

In this week’s update video, our Senior Tutor Vivek reviews the first Assessment Week of the academic year and reminds students of the good routines we’ve been establishing. Additionally, Vivek discusses a number of effective revision methods which will be helpful to all our students regardless of their age.

At Trefoil Tutors, we believe that effective communication between the tutor, the student and the parents is very important for successful teaching and learning. We are delighted to share the positive feedback contributed by the parents of students who have attended our group lessons and found the feedback provided by our tutors informative and beneficial.

With a number of Grammar school 11+ examinations taking place in the coming weeks, we are delighted to offer a FREE 11+ entrance English mock paper to help students in their revision. The mock paper is written by our lead English tutor Milda, a full-time tutor who has been preparing pupils for 11+ entrance examinations to Grammar and Independent schools since 2013. The mock paper is modelled on 11+ entrance papers to top Grammar schools in the North London area.

With the 11+ entrance examinations fast approaching, we would like to invite Year 6 students to book a place in our Mathematics, Reasoning and English mock examinations that will take place during the October half term.
The mock examinations are modelled on 11+ entrance examination papers to Independent Schools in the North London area.

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, our Director of Studies Rebecca shares her advice as students revise for their first assessment this academic year. Our Senior Tutor Vivek comments on the importance of getting into consistent working habits as we settle into the Autumn Term.

Have a great week, everyone!

In this week’s video, our Senior Tutor Vivek thanks all our parents and students for diligently following our new Covid-19 guidelines and parking regulations. The second week of the term is particularly important as this is the perfect time for us to build good routines which will make our work much easier throughout the rest of the academic year.

Our Registrar Milda reminds parents about the possibility to register students for lessons in more than one subject, as well as place siblings’ names on our waiting list if you would like to join our lessons in the future. We are delighted to continue offering our recommendation, multiple subject and sibling discounts this year.
