We offer private tuition for primary pupils in Maths and English.
With the significant changes to the curriculum for the 2016-2017 school year, this is an ideal time for parents to think about supporting their child’s education, particularly as they approach their SATs. At The Learning Curve we support primary pupils with their Maths and English studies.
Your child may be falling behind or struggling at school or you may wish to just give them that little bit of extra support to ensure that they make the best progress possible in every school year. We assess each pupil free of charge and after an initial consultation they can enrol on an individual learning plan delivered by a qualified teacher who will work with your child, supporting them to fill in the gaps and master new concepts and skills.
Our specially designed tuition hub caters for pupils aged 6 to 18. We have up to date teaching materials and IT equipment in order to deliver the highest quality tuition for every child. Pupils can enrol throughout the year by taking advantage of our FREE consultation and assessment. Pupils can attend for 1 or 2 hours per week to develop the skills required for every year in school. Tuition is on a small group basis, with a maximum of three pupils in each group who each receive excellent individual teaching. We at the Learning Curve ensure that each child has a personalised learning plan created and delivered by a fully qualified teacher. We believe that all pupils, regardless of ability, can benefit from extra support enabling them to reach their full potential.

English
English tuition focuses on Grammar, Reading, Spelling, Comprehension and Writing skills. We use the initial assessment to identify where the areas of need might be and then design a personalised learning plan. We offer tuition to pupils in every class in Key Stage 2 and our in depth knowledge of the curriculum helps us to ensure that your child can meet the challenges and standards of every school year and the SATs exams. A wide range of teaching materials, computer programmes and individual teaching is used to support learners of all abilities.
Maths
Our Maths tuition aims to support pupils in their understanding of the basic Maths concepts covered from age 6 upwards. We use the free assessment to identify where there may be difficulties in Maths and then carefully devise a learning plan, which includes individual teaching of new Maths concepts, practice at solving Maths problems and independent learning. This enables pupils of all abilities and ages to overcome difficulties in Maths or to master more complex and advanced Mathematical concepts.

What people say about The Learning Curve
"My daughter hated maths and felt she was rubbish at it but that has all changed. The Learning Curve has made her feel that she can do it and she is starting to believe in herself. She even does the homework without being asked! They treat everyone as an individual and therefore teach them according to their specific needs. I couldn't rate the place highly enough."
Abi
"My 8 year old daughter is loving her maths tutoring wIth Jenny at The Learning Curve. She's gone from thinking she's rubbish at maths, with lots of tears trying to get to grips with school work, to having the confidence to apply the methods Jenny is teaching her and a much better understanding of numbers. A lovely environment for learning and a lovely teacher." Sarah
REVIEWS - Language Courses
What people say about The Learning Curve
"French for Beginners at The Learning Curve is great. Having been taught French to O'Level standard many years ago, and having been on refresher courses without success, I am happy to say I have finally found the course for me. Jenny's teaching methods are excellent; the class is very informative without being overwhelming, is friendly, easy going and interactive and I feel I have made a lot of progress in the first term. I will definitely be going back for more!"
Linda
"I am now half way through my Spanish for Beginners course with The Learning Curve, and will definitely be continuing next term. It's great to be able to do language classes without going into the city centre, and the courses are very good value for money. Classes are a lot more fun than learning languages at school used to be! Everyone is friendly and the lessons are relaxed and informal, with emphasis on actually speaking the language. I think I'll feel a lot more confident on holiday next year." Helen"French for Beginners is the ideal way to get back into French. I did French to A-Level over 40 years ago, and wanted to refresh my knowledge. This course is 2 hours per week of discussion and exercises, and is interactive. No learning lists of vocabulary and conjugations if verbs by heart here. Jenny is good at knowing what her class want, and adapting to suit their needs. This course lasts a year, and I intend to do the Intermediate course next year" Peter
"Having participated in the Learning Curve's Italian Conversation class, which is very enjoyable & definitely worth the long drive across Leeds for me to get to, I would recommend this to students looking for a friendly, well-researched but fairly basic class. The staff are very friendly, the venue is warm and well appointed and even though it is not in the city centre, it has excellent free parking & is easy to find.
The classes are small & intimate, which enables students to ask many questions & enhances the feeling of individually- tailored help from the class leader, who is a native Italian speaker.
In my opinion, The Learning Curve offers good teaching and great value for money"
