Endeavour HQ Bespoke Tutoring
Individual and group tuition designed to unlock your child’s full potential
“If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings and grow.”
— Alfie Kohn
Endeavour HQ Bespoke Tutoring
Children are unique individuals who learn at different rates and have different needs. These needs are not always met in a traditional school environment. For learning to be optimised, it is essential for children to have a teacher who understands them, and whom children can relate to. Children need to be engaged by educational content, and learning must be sequenced in manageable steps, taken at the child’s pace, to simultaneously build confidence and knowledge. Endeavour HQ’s bespoke individual and group tuition is designed to support and boost your child’s attainment and progress, and unlock their potential.
How does it work?
Endeavour HQ has a small team of qualified teachers who provide bespoke private tuition in Colchester and Ipswich. We work with families to understand the needs of each child by asking you to complete a Pupil Passport (found below) - this is to understand the child’s educational circumstances, attainment levels and the support required. A learning programme is devised and delivered over an agreed learning block to suit your requirements. A learning block can be a series of intensive sessions over a short period of time, or it can be regular weekly or bi-weekly lessons, depending on your child.
Sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging, and tap into your child’s personal interests where possible. Tuition is provided in person at one of the Colchester centres in Great Horkesley, Leavenheath or Rowhedge; the Ipswich centre in Barham; or online (via Zoom) in either 30-minute, 45-minute or 60-minute sessions. Feedback is always given after the session, and follow-up learning may be suggested.
We also offer:
Get set for school sessions: Designed for children approaching primary school age, these 30-minute sessions include an introduction to phonics, number and activities to help them get ready to write.
Keep up/catch up/power ahead holiday sessions: These sessions are designed to support children in either English or maths (or a combination of the two subjects) during school holiday time.
SATs’ Breakfast Club: The breakfast club is a small group session of up to 6 children with a different focus each time. The club is designed to support children who are in Year 6 preparing for the statutory assessment tests.
SATs’ booster groups: The booster group is for up to 6 children and includes an assessment week and then subsequent sessions built around the needs of the group. These sessions are designed to support children in Year 6.
Get set for secondary school sessions: These sessions are designed to make sure children feel happy and confident as they get ready to move into Year 7.
Assessment sessions: Assessment sessions are available for those wanting a second opinion on your child’s academic performance.
Assessment reports: Assessment reports support One Plan documents, EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) applications and school applications.
