Hit the Ground Running: Back to School Tutoring for the New Academic Year
The transition into a new school year can feel overwhelming. Whether your child is stepping up to the challenges of Year 7, starting their crucial GCSE options in Year 10, or entering the fast-paced world of A-Levels, the autumn term sets the tone for the entire year.
At Copper Tutoring, our back to school tutoring programmes are designed to bridge summer learning gaps, build immediate academic confidence, and give your child a competitive head start before school anxiety kicks in. Signing up for September tutoring slots can help reassure learners, and consolidate previous classroom knowledge.
Why Start Tuition in September?
- Prevent the “Summer Slide”: On average, students lose up to two months of reading and subject knowledge over the summer holidays. A catch up tutor can help them shake off the rust before the first day of term.
- Master the Transition: Moving from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4 (GCSE) represents a massive jump in independent study requirements and exam pressure. We teach the study habits needed to survive the shift.
- Secure the Best Tutors Early: The highest-rated UK tutors book up completely by mid-September. Securing your slot early ensures a consistent, long-term schedule that fits seamlessly around your family life.
- We come to you: Whilst we are situated in Jacobstowe, and provide online tutoring sessions, we are able to travel to your home for bespoke back to school tutoring across Devon.
Frequently Asked Questions:
When should we book a tutor for the new academic year?
We highly recommend booking your tutor in July or August to secure your preferred time slots for September. By the time the autumn term begins, peak after-school slots fill up incredibly quickly. Starting early also allows us to build a tailored learning plan before school workloads increase.
My child is changing schools/key stages. Can you help with the transition?
Yes, absolutely. Transitions (such as moving from primary to secondary school or entering Year 12 for A-Levels) are our specialty. Our tutors focus heavily on the study skills, time management, and foundational knowledge required to make these steps stress-free.
How often are the tutoring sessions during the school term?
Most families opt for one 60-minute session per week per subject. This consistency ensures the student stays on top of their school curriculum without burning out. We can increase session frequency closer to mock exams if needed.
