How we teach
The Extra Tuition Centre's method of learning centres around ACTION, our unique diagnostic and lesson planning application. ACTION identifies areas of weakness in a child's education and creates a personalised learning plan which delivers, with pinpoint accuracy, the lessons required to improve their performance.
The ETC Method of Learning
- The ETC Action Assessment
We first provide the child with a full ETC Action Assessment to assess where help may be needed.
The assessments we provide vary depending on what the child may be experiencing difficulty with. Assessments can cover Mathematics, English, Reading and Spelling, or a combination of any of these elements. The tests are selected depending on your child’s age. An 11+ plus assessment will look at Verbal and Nonverbal reasoning as well as mathematics and English. In general, assessments take from one to two hours to complete and are designed to thoroughly test a child’s ability and standards of achievement.
Each of the ETC Action Assessments is linked to the national curriculum. It is the results of these first assessments that are fed into the ETC ACTION program that help us create an ETC Lesson Action Plan – a personalised learning plan.

- The ETC Personalised Learning Plan
The ETC Personalised Learning Plan spells out for our tutors what work the child is required to do in each lesson.
The lessons are split into bite-size chunks to enable the child to move forward in small increments. With this method of teaching, a child sees results quickly, thus building confidence and creating enthusiasm to move forward.
The lessons aim to eliminate possible weak areas while enhancing natural talent, creating enthusiasm for learning and building children’s confidence. Each child works to his or her own set schedule and is therefore not competing with others.
Children can also bring problems, which they may be having with their school work or with set homework, to their ETC class, thus providing them with immediate solutions. This helps to improve confidence in their school life in addition to aiding them with set work.

- Continual Self Assessment
When completed, each section of the lesson is marked and graded by the child’s tutor on a scale of one to nine. These results are then fed back into the ACTION program and the next lesson is prepared. This continual assessment allows us to ensure that each and every lesson is targeted to obtain maximum results.

- Bi-Annual Reports
At any stage of a child’s journey with us, parents can obtain verbal reports on their child’s progress from their tutor. Every six months, children at ETC are given another full ETC ACTION ASSESSMENT free of charge to assess their progress and results. A written report is provided for parents.

- Realising Each Child's Potential
We have a firm belief in praising a child’s work – this builds confidence and changes a child’s attitude to learning and studying.
The ETC Method to Success ensures children reach their potential and gain confidence, in turn providing parents with valuable peace of mind. Because the ETC ACTION ASSESSMENT provides a unique ACTION PLAN for each child, his or her progress is dictated only by his or her ability and initiative. A child’s individual ACTION PLAN is not affected by a group or strict teaching agenda. This allows children to work at their own pace and achieve realistic goals.
