In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek offers parents a glimpse into the work done by our Senior Tutor and Director of Studies in order to monitor student progress, work towards target grades and ensure all three elements of the tutoring triangle and working in cooperation.

Trefoil Tutors are currently looking for a Weekend Receptionist to join our team in May 2021.

The ideal candidate will be an approachable and organised individual with attention to detail and a proactive attitude. Experience in an administrative and customer-facing role is essential.

"Ria’s maths has escalated. She has always been very good with her maths, but Vivek has pushed her, challenged her. For someone who is going to be doing her GCSEs next year, she is actually at an A-Level standard."

We are delighted to introduce you to the newest member of our office team, Ruby, who has joined us as our new Evening Receptionist. Without a doubt, both students and their parents will get to know Ruby very well in the coming months as she will be greeting students and liaising with parents during all lessons that take place between Monday and Friday.

Welcome to the team, Ruby - we are delighted to have you on board!

Good revision is a crucial part of studying.

Today, we would like to share some tips and advice we have accrued throughout the years of helping students prepare for end-of-year examinations:

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reflects on the assessments taken by the students last week and reminds students to diligently work through corrections as marked work is returned.

As our team keeps growing, we are delighted to introduce you to another new face at Trefoil Tutors. Asta has joined us in the role of Assistant to the Leadership Team and, with her diverse range of skills and experience, will be supporting the Leadership Team in their day-to-day work. Students and parents will meet Asta on weekends.

Welcome to the team, Asta!

We hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend!

We would like to remind parents that all lessons today will run according to the usual timetable - we look forward to seeing you this afternoon!

In this week's update, our Senior Tutor Vivek reminds students and parents that on the 3rd of May, our lessons will take place as usual despite it being a Bank Holiday.

"Many tutoring firms that are out there haven’t got that hands on experience in teaching at what is one of the top schools in maths. Mr G has that practical experience in knowing what kids can achieve and have the ability to achieve if thought in a specific way."

In this week’s Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reflects on a tiring yet wonderful week of welcoming students back to face-to-face lessons after an entire term of online learning.

"Vivek would take his time to explain to each student what they were struggling with - and he would always explain it in a fun way."

We are delighted to introduce you to the Trefoil “Back on Track” online Mathematics course which will run from the 19th of April to the 1st of September. The course is designed to support external students who may have fallen behind with their mathematics at school throughout the past year, as well as prospective students who would like to join lessons at Trefoil in September 2021.
