What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A branch of the Explore Learning network operating from inside the Tesco store on Kingston Park Avenue, this centre offers maths and English tuition alongside preparation for grammar school entrance exams such as the Royal Grammar School assessment. Parents repeatedly describe a kind and encouraging teaching team who build children's confidence as much as their academic skills, with several accounts mentioning noticeable progress over a matter of months.

Regular progress meetings are an idea that comes up repeatedly, giving parents detailed feedback on how sessions are going and a chance to raise questions directly with staff. A number of reviewers name individual tutors, including Peter for GCSE maths support and Sophie for reading, describing them as approachable and genuinely invested in each child's development. Flexibility also comes up often, with families noting how easy it is to rearrange sessions when needed.

The centre runs sessions on weekday afternoons and evenings, from eleven until eight on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and opens on Saturday mornings, making it accessible outside school hours. Reviewers frequently mention children looking forward to attending rather than treating it as a chore, and several describe entrance exam success following a period of tuition at the centre, alongside steady gains in classroom confidence more generally reported back by school teachers.

My boy has joined the tuition for 2-3 months. The company has such expertise in teaching and learning. There is an outstanding system in which children can be trained intensively at Math and English. The system has been designed so smartly which can motivate the kids to go ahead and keep practicing. The staff and tutors in this centre are absolutely fabulous. They know so much what the parents want and how to help the learners to move forward closer to the goal. There is a regular parent meeting in which parents would know the child’s progress so in detail. This centre is located inside Tesco Extra and surrounded by a retail shopping centre, location is super handy!

We enrolled our child at Explore Learning to help prepare for the RGS entrance exams, and it has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our child really enjoyed the learning environment and always looked forward to attending the sessions. The teachers are all incredibly kind, supportive, and encouraging, which helped build both confidence and motivation. Over time, we could clearly see significant progress in our child's academic abilities and overall confidence. Thanks to the guidance and support from the team, our child was successfully offered a place at RGS, which we are absolutely delighted about. We are very pleased with the quality of teaching and positive atmosphere at Explore Learning. We highly recommended it to any parents looking for extra support for their children's learning and school entrance exam preparation. Thank you to the whole team!

My child started tuition at Explore Learning, and we’ve seen continuous improvement in her studies. She is now much more focused on reading at home and always looks forward to going to her sessions. A special thanks to Sophie for the great care and support she gives my child. I’m overall very pleased with the support from Explore Learning. The timings are also very flexible, and it’s easy to change sessions when needed.
