Our online learning environment is a high-performance space designed to make source analysis and essay planning feel natural and productive. Within our interactive digital classroom, your child and their tutor use a shared whiteboard and document sharing to map out timelines and annotate historical sources together in real-time.
This active way of working keeps the student’s energy high and ensures the hour is spent making real progress. To keep you in the loop, our tutors provide weekly progress reports, giving you a regular update on exactly what they’ve mastered and how their confidence is growing ahead of their exams.
