Our Process & Getting Started
How do I get started with Anselhill Academy?
Our process is simple and starts with a free, no-obligation initial consultation where we discuss your child’s needs. From there, we schedule a free trial lesson. If you’re happy to proceed, we complete a simple registration and create a personalized learning plan for your child.
Is the trial lesson really free?
Absolutely. The trial lesson is completely free and serves as a great opportunity for your child to meet a potential tutor and for us to assess their learning style and needs. There is no obligation to continue after the trial lesson.
How do you personalize the learning for each student?
Personalization is at the heart of what we do. Based on our initial consultation and the trial lesson, we create a unique, Personalized Learning Plan for every student. This plan outlines their specific goals and focus areas, allowing our tutors to tailor every session to their individual learning style and pace.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
We believe in a strong partnership with parents. You will receive a detailed feedback form every month that tracks your child’s progress, highlights their achievements, and outlines our focus for the upcoming sessions.
Our Tutors & Safety
How are your tutors selected and vetted?
Our tutors are central to our academy’s success, and we have a rigorous selection process. Every tutor has at least 2-3 years of professional teaching experience and is an expert in their subject. Most importantly, all of our tutors are fully DBS checked to ensure they are suitable for working with children, providing a safe and reliable learning experience.
What is your approach to child protection?
The safety and well-being of our students is our highest priority. We operate under a strict code of conduct and have robust safeguarding policies in place.
