Each session is 2 hours long. The first 50 minutes is allocated to maths. Students then have a 10-minute brain games task before 50 minutes of English. Finally, parents are debriefed on their child’s progress for the last 10 minutes of the session.

At Thrive Tuition, we prioritise parent-tutor transparency. This is why we provide a 10-minute debrief at the end of each session alongside a virtual weekly and monthly progress report for parents, accessed via our portal. Progress reports outline each child’s target areas, homework being set and current topic focuses. Progress is measured based on the development made following the initial assessment that students undergo prior to starting sessions.

A lesson link is sent to parents prior to the start of each session. Worksheets are accessed virtually for students and digital in-depth feedback is provided after each session to parents.
