The Company
Our Client provides extra tuition classes in the form of Saturday schools, small group revision courses (during school holidays) and other out-of-school tuition related services. They help improve performance and subsequently examination grades in key subjects at A2, AS, GCSE & KS3 Level. Teaching is delivered by experienced and professional tutors who are committed to helping young people achieve and realise their dreams. They go as far as ‘guaranteeing’ their results too, through their ‘money back refund scheme’.
