Why international families choose Top Class Learning

Students are taught by qualified English teachers with extensive experience of secondary and post-16 education.

 

Experienced examiners

Our team includes experienced examiners who understand how assessment criteria and standards are applied.

 

Specification-specific tuition

Lessons are matched to the student’s exam board, qualification, texts and assessment route.

 

Time-zone-conscious scheduling

We offer a range of lesson times intended to accommodate international families. Exact availability is confirmed during the consultation.

 

Clear parent communication

Parents receive information about the learning covered, the student’s progress and recommended next steps.

 

Personalised online teaching

Lessons are delivered live and adapted to the student’s starting point, confidence and individual learning needs.

 

More than English-language practice

Our international tuition is designed for students completing academic English qualifications.

We can support multilingual and EAL learners, but lessons remain focused on the knowledge and skills required by the relevant IGCSE or A-Level course.

​

This may include:

• academic reading;

• close textual analysis;

• accurate and controlled writing;

• vocabulary development;

• essay construction;

• examination technique;

• understanding assessment objectives;

• working accurately under timed conditions.

 

How online lessons work

Lessons take place through Zoom.

 

Students can:

• speak directly with their tutor;

• view modelled examples and live explanations;

• share written work;

• annotate texts and extracts;

• receive targeted feedback;

• access agreed lesson materials;

• complete practice between sessions.

 

Before lessons begin, we confirm the technical arrangements and ensure that the student can access the necessary resources.

 

Time zones and availability

We currently work with families in Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, and more.

Lesson times are arranged in UK time and converted into the family’s local time during booking. We will always confirm both time zones clearly before the first lesson.

Availability varies according to the required subject, specification and tutor. Please contact us to discuss your location and preferred lesson times.

​

Progress and communication

We understand that international parents may not always have regular contact with their child’s school or may be navigating an unfamiliar qualification system.

​

Our communication can include:

• summaries of learning;

• identified strengths;

• areas requiring further development;

• recommended independent practice;

• updates on progress towards agreed goals;

• opportunities to discuss the student’s programme.

Specific reporting arrangements will be agreed before tuition begins.

​

​

Before booking, we will confirm:

• lesson length;

• lesson frequency;

• total cost;

• payment currency;

• payment method;

• cancellation arrangements.

There are no hidden registration fees.
