Stretch & Challenge with Dukes Tutoring
In partnership with High Performance Learning, Dukes Tutoring believes all children can achieve academic success.Â
We help students have the self-belief to enable them to outperform their academic predictions, and truly realise their academic successes.
At Dukes Tutoring, we recognise the importance of not only accelerating learning, but also cultivating resilience and problem-solving techniques in all children. Our consultants work closely with both parents and students to provide advisory sessions, offering guidance on the best ways to support children at home. Additionally, we offer personalised, follow-on individual tutoring sessions designed to further nurture the unique talents and potential of each child.
…the brain is in fact exquisitely plastic and is moulded over time, so we are not limited by our potential – everyone is a potential high performer. (HPL)
We go beyond accelerating academic learning and seek to inspire resilience and problem-solving skills. The benefits of this tuition are:
-
Holistic mastery

Addressing weaknesses

Emma
Emma* came to us with low confidence as she was mildly dyslexic. We assessed her and found that she had a fantastic imagination and was extremely articulate. Through gentle English tutoring and encouragement, Emma understood how talented she was and developed into a gifted writer with a deep passion for literature and creative writing. Emma became so confident that she decided to sit for the 11+ and she achieved a place at the school of her choice. She has thrived there ever since, going on to win prizes for outstanding achievements in English.
Paul
Paul’s* parents came to us with him in Year 5, as he was so frustrated and wasn’t enjoying school. Once we had assessed him, we understood he was extremely able in maths and because he had other special needs it hadn’t been recognised in school. We immediately put a plan in place to extend his maths through expert tutoring; his confidence grew and he went from strength to strength. He sat the 11+ and went to a very academic school that stretched him, allowing him to really enjoy school.
Taylor
Taylor* was low in confidence and really didn’t think he was good at much. We assessed him and discovered he had great potential and was totally underachieving at school. Taylor had tutoring in maths and English over a period of two years and excelled in both subjects. At this point he was unrecognisable – a confident and happy young person with lots of friends – and he gained a place at the senior school of his choice.
Raul
Raul* came to us as the youngest of three and he was underachieving at school. After an academic assessment, we understood that he was simply not in the right school. Raul needed catch up tutoring and to move to a school with less behavioural problems, so he could enjoy his learning and thrive. Once he settled into his new school, we worked on his maths and English through tutoring. He became an outstanding achiever in both subjects and went on to gain a place at a top independent school.
