Isn&#8217;t school enough?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1640746336505-3f1a184e-c35d&#8221;][vc_column_text]While Chalkwall sees itself as providing services that complement and supplement the work that schools provide, the reality is that many schools are underfunded or unable to provide the service that we can provide.<\/p>\n<p>In a Chalkwall class, students who want to learn are grouped together. Hence, they\u00a0develop a competitive nature with one another due to their similar thought processes. \u00a0With school classes, wider inequalities can exist.<\/p>\n<p>Our class environments nurture a comfortable relationship between teacher and student allowing students to easily ask for help. This forms an ideal environment for students to get the extra support\u00a0they need and deserve.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Is one-on-one tutoring better than class based tutoring?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1640746370992-7c6cde5a-b411&#8243;][vc_column_text]No, not necessarily. Chalkwall believes that small classes are usually best because they support group learning and team building, aiding a student\u2019s personal development and social and communication skills.<\/p>\n<p>In a class environment, students are more likely to develop\u00a0a competitive nature with learning and students can also benefit\u00a0from the mistakes and questions of others, as opposed to just their own.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, students are more likely to learn in an environment similar to the schools in which they are examined, with research suggesting that this means they can achieve better results.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How does Chalkwall compare with computer tutors Or software applications?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1640746379203-ba20b45a-4b1e&#8221;][vc_column_text]There is no comparison.<\/p>\n<p>While computer tuition isn\u2019t bad for practice or repetitive styles of learning, software applications cannot offer what we offer.\u00a0This is because computer software is limited to a screen. Chalkwall classes are very interactive and promote understanding, not just memorisation.<\/p>\n<p>With our student-centred learning culture, students are reminded and motivated to do their coursework, learn how and why things are done in particular ways and benefit from their interaction with other people and the physical environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Are there subjects that all students should get tutoring in?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1640746391413-4664f514-c992&#8243;][vc_column_text]Subject selection\u00a0depends on\u00a0the\u00a0student\u2019s grade, level of understanding and academic performance. We believe that Chalkwall classes are complementary to everyday schooling and that classes for all subjects can have positive outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>We especially recommend Chalkwall classes for English. This is because building strong English skills starting from the early stages of a child\u2019s development can help with comprehension and success in other subjects.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to English, we recommend Maths. The confidence gained from understanding Mathematical principles and formulas and the problem solving skills\u00a0that are acquired, can usually motivate students to apply themselves more, learn in other subjects and aid in their understanding of the more complex sciences.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Do you prepare kids for examinations?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1640746400049-1207cc66-c63d&#8221;][vc_column_text]Yes, but we do not pretend we can produce miracles.<\/p>\n<p>If a student has done nothing for the whole school term or whole school year then it is unlikely that they will be able to learn everything they need to know for an exam overnight.<\/p>\n<p>We run specially designed workshops and seminars which help prepare students for government and private school set examinations. These also focus on helping to develop learning skills, recommending examination techniques, or promoting self-motivational strategies.<\/p>\n<p>We also run consultation sessions in our Study Hive, whereby students, teachers and parents can request personalised\u00a0help, covering specific topics or areas of concern in preparation for school assessments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What are the rates like at Chalkwall?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1640746413246-6ffc13ab-16ab&#8221;][vc_column_text]Our rates are very competitive and transparent. We believe we provide the best value for money in the education industry. We offer various options of payment including discounts for early birds.

We allow students and their parents to decide the amount of hours required and encourage additional hours when needed. However, we remind parents that it is good practice to find an equitable balance between study\/learning and the participation in other lifestyle activities\u00a0such as family gatherings, sports and leisure. An over-emphasis on study can demotivate or put unnecessary pressure on students.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How do I get more information?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1640746454816-c4944ca9-3bba&#8221;][vc_column_text]Call Us Now on\u00a0<a href=\"tel:8017 0300\">8017 0300<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Simply tell the customer service representative that you are thinking of enrolling a child and would like to get some more information.
