Yes. Each subject follows a termly scope and sequence aligned with the curriculum and tailored to your child's goals from foundational skills to exam preparation.

Do you help with school homework and assignments?

Yes while our core focus is on building subject mastery and long-term skills, we do support students with school-assigned tasks such as homework, assignments, and projects. In one-on-one sessions, this support can be fully customised to align with specific school requirements.
