Every child starts with a free trial class, so we find their level and target the gaps that matter.

Why small groups work
More attention for every child
A school class can have up to 30 pupils. At Study Buddies there are never more than 5, so your child gets time with the tutor in every lesson and the confidence to ask questions.
