Children enjoyed face painting and party games yesterday at Accelerate Learning, as they were able to bring a friend along to celebrate Carshalton tuition centre’s first birthday.

Having ensured to deliver the best possible tuition to nearly 200 students over the past year, the centre covers maths, English and science tuition from age five up to A-level, with their 11-plus courses being the most popular.

Centre manager, Olivia Gowie, feels the key of the centre’s success is their excellent tutors and friendly approach: “Our tutors cover a wide range of specialisms, and every tutor is an expert in their particular subject area.

“We have tutors who have over 20 years of experience in teaching as well as tutors who have recently gone through the UK education system themselves – some of them obtaining Masters level qualification. All of our tutors are friendly and approachable.”

With a current staff of ten tutors, the now one-year-old centre is hoping to boost their students’ chances of passing the 11+ examinations in September, while looking out for GCSE and A-level results next month.

Happy about turning one in the company of many of their students, Accelerate Learning Carshalton centre manager Olivia Gowie says: “I am very excited to continue to work with all of our students who will be continuing with us for the next year, I hope it will be another great one!”
