Years 7–9

Key Stage 3 Tuition

Supporting the secondary school transition with clear subject guidance and structure.

A Strong Start to Secondary

Building Confidence Through the Secondary Transition

The move to secondary school is a big step. New subjects, new teachers, and a lot more pressure can leave some students feeling overwhelmed – or underchallenged. Our Key Stage 3 tuition helps students find their footing, build confidence, and stay motivated through these important years.

At Ignito, we support students in Years 7 to 9, focusing on developing subject knowledge, improving core skills, and preparing students for the increased expectations of Key Stage 4.

KS3 Tuition That Lays Strong Foundations

What Our KS3 Tuition Covers

Our Key Stage 3 sessions focus on the core subjects of Maths, English, and Science, with group lessons that follow national curriculum objectives and provide structured, engaging teaching.

In Maths, we support:

Fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratio

Algebra basics and simplifying expressions

Geometry, area, perimeter, and volume

Problem solving and multi-step reasoning

Graphs and coordinates

Strengthening fluency and accuracy through regular practice

In Science, we explore:

Key concepts in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics

Scientific enquiry and analysis skills

Data handling and interpretation

Applying scientific vocabulary with accuracy

Hands-on learning with demonstrations and experiments

Each session includes a weekly homework task designed to reinforce what has been covered or to test understanding through follow-up questions or application.

Where Engagement Meets Excellence

How We Teach

Our KS3 sessions are structured to keep students engaged while supporting them as they grow in confidence. We use a combination of teaching strategies, practical tools, and group interaction to make learning effective and enjoyable.

We incorporate:

Mini whiteboards for real-time practice

Colour-printed worksheets for clarity and structure

Buzzers and quizzes for revision and recall

Practical science equipment to demonstrate real-world applications

All students are added to a dedicated Google Classroom, where we post weekly tasks, share key resources, and keep everything centralised and easy to access.

In in-person sessions, students also take part in our stamp reward system, which recognises  effort and participation. Stamps can be exchanged for prizes from our prize shelf, which remains a highlight for many. We also provide a small snack break, usually a mini chocolate bar, to help keep energy and focus high throughout the lesson.

Always Within Reach

Support Beyond the Session

Students aren’t just supported once a week. Every student has access to our team via email and a dedicated Google Classroom, and we actively encourage them to reach out if they’re stuck or need help between lessons.

We provide:

Centralised access to materials via Google Classroom

Weekly homework and follow-up tasks

Tutor email access for questions or extra support throughout the week

Guidance and encouragement to take ownership of their progress, with our support every step of the way

Simple. Structured. Supportive.
