At Trefoil Tutors, we recognise the importance of maintaining an ongoing conversation between parents, tutors and students as a key factor in maintaining tutee progress and development. As a very successful Autumn Term comes to an end, we would like to invite parents to book in a meeting to speak to your child’s tutor and discuss their progress throughout the academic year so far. These meetings will build on the personalised feedback the tutors upload to the online portal every week.

To book your meeting, please log in to the online portal and choose a convenient date and time.

We would like to remind parents of our current students that priority registration for the Spring Term is now open and that our current students' places in the lessons are reserved until Sunday, the 6th of December.

Any places that are not booked by this date will be offered to students on the waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis.

In this week's Senior Tutor Update, Vivek reminds students that our lessons resume next week, on Monday, the 2nd of November. In order to ensure a strong start to the new half term, Vivek shares six important pieces of advice that students should consider before returning to lessons.

After an extraordinary end to the last academic year, we are very proud to share with you a snapshot overview of the results achieved by our A level students. Having shown impressive levels of resilience and ability to adapt to ever-changing circumstances, our students acquired an impressive set of grades. Very well done!

"Avi has been a good student but over the years had plateaued in maths, and I can honestly say that Vivek has brought back that spark about maths to Avi. He enjoys it and he has improved significantly. He is doing very well in class, his grades have improved; moreover, he enjoys being there."

Although most of last year's GCSE candidates did not get a chance to sit the examinations they had prepared for, we are proud to share with you the impressive set of results awarded to our students based on their Centre Assessment Grades. These results undoubtedly reflect the fact that the students' hard work throughout the entire academic year has paid off, as students were assessed based on their mock examination grades, coursework and progress shown throughout the year.

During the half-term break, many students have enquired about additional resources and past papers they could use when revising independently. Our Resources page offers students an extensive collection of GCSE and A-Level Mathematics past papers, including mark schemes, for Edexcel, OCR, and OCR MEI exam boards. We hope you find these useful in your revision!
