BRITISH NATIONAL CURRICULUM TUITION COURSES

British National Curriculum

Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.

At British Learning Centre we aim to ensure that all students:

​

1. Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.

​

2. Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.

​

3. Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, accuracy and make connections between measure and number.

4. By age 9, have memorised their multiplication tables up to and including the 12 multiplication table and show precision and fluency in their work.

5. Can read and spell mathematical vocabulary correctly and confidently, using their growing word reading knowledge and their knowledge of spelling.

ENGLISH TUITION

British National Curriculum

English has a pre-eminent place in education and in society. A high-quality education in English will teach pupils to speak and write fluently so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions to others and through their reading and listening, others can communicate with them. Through reading in particular, pupils have a chance to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Literature, especially, plays a key role in such development. Reading also enables pupils both to acquire knowledge and to build on what they already know. All the skills of language are essential to participating fully as a member of society; pupils, therefore, who do not learn to speak, read and write fluently and confidently are effectively disenfranchised.

​

At British Learning Centre we aim to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping students with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment.

​

At British Learning Centre we aim to ensure all students: 

​

1. Read easily, fluently and with good understanding.

​

2. Develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information.

​

3. Acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language.

​

4. Appreciate the rich and varied literary heritage of Great Britain.

​

5. Write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audience.

​

​
