As we settle into new routines of online learning, we are delighted to see that so many of our students have already engaged with our new way of running lessons and are watching our teaching videos, uploading homework assignments and calling our tutors for one-to-one Skype consultations. Well done, everyone!

A number of parents have contacted us asking how to use the online portal and upload homework assignments. We have recorded a short video explaining the process:

Following the cancellation of GCSE and A-level examinations, our Year 11 and Year 13 students are undoubtedly waiting for further clarification regarding the way their GCSE and A-level examinations will be determined.

The Education Secretary has just released the following statement, explaining that:

- Students' results will be determined in consultation with schools

- If students do not feel their calculated grade reflects their performance, they will have the opportunity to sit an exam at the earliest reasonable opportunity, once schools are open again

- Students will also have the option to sit their exams in summer 2021.

Today, we celebrate World Book Day! Although it sometimes may seem that today is about fancy dress costumes rather than books, we would like to encourage our young readers to pick up a new book this week and nurture their good reading habits.

To help you choose your new read, our English tutor Milda has compiled a new list of book recommendations for students from Year 4 to Year 11. You can download it here:

During the half-term break, our office gathered together for a staff induction training day, bringing together staff who have recently joined our team as well as new members of the team who will be coming on board in the coming months.

After a relaxing half-term break, we look forward to welcoming all our students back to a new set of lessons today. Did you notice that we have already reached the half-way mark of the academic year?

Have a great half term, everyone!

As the half term break comes to an end, we would like to remind parents and students that Mathematics and English holiday work for all year groups has been uploaded to the online portal.

To access the assignments prepared by our tutors Vivek and Milda, please log on to the online portal and choose the "Lesson Materials" section in the menu. Vivek and Milda have also written answers to the assignments which are uploaded in the same section.

We would like to wish the best of luck to all 11+ students receiving their independent school offers today - we hope it's a day of good news!

As ever, our tutors will be sitting on the edges of their seats keeping their fingers firmly crossed for you - please do give us a call to let us know your results.

If you would like to speak to our Senior Tutor about your school choices, please do not hesitate to give our office a call, we would be more than happy to share our insights and experience in order to help you weigh up your options.

If you are looking to join our group lessons in Mathematics, English, Science or Economics, we are glad to present the new Group Lessons Availability page on our website: https://www.trefoiltutors.co.uk/availability/.

The page is updated each day with the number of places still available in our group lessons, making it easy for you to check the times and dates of available groups.

As we begin the final week of lessons before the half-term break, we would like to remind students that this week, they will be sitting a 30-minute assessment in their lessons. Do remember to review your classwork notes and homework assignments in preparation!

In this week's update, our Senior Tutor Vivek Gathani reminds about the upcoming assessment week and shares some revision tips with our students.
