Where Engagement Meets Excellence

How We Teach

We understand that many Functional Skills learners are juggling other responsibilities – from parenting and work to wider life challenges.

Our sessions are designed to be:

Clear and accessible, using plain language and real-life examples

Interactive and collaborative, with space to ask questions and work through problems together

Supportive, with tutors breaking down complex material and clarifying exam board expectations

We also make use of:

Colour-printed worksheets

Visual and practical tools for explaining core maths and English skills

Mini whiteboards and group activities to reinforce understanding in a supportive way

In-person students benefit from a complimentary snack mid-session, and all learners can access a dedicated Google Classroom for weekly tasks, revision material, and tutor communication.

Practice with Purpose

Homework and Support

We set a weekly task for all Functional Skills students – either to reinforce recent learning or to practise an exam-style question. These tasks are always purposeful and designed to build
familiarity and confidence.

Students are encouraged to:

  • Ask for help via email whenever needed
  • Access their class materials and updates via Google Classroom
  • Take ownership of their progress, with support every step of the way
Simple. Structured. Supportive.
