Build your child’s confidence with the award-winning teachers at The Learning Academy who this year have been teaching for 30 years each in an array of schools with a variety of age ranges and abilities. Our qualified teachers work with the students providing consistency of teaching so we get to know each student on an individual basis and what they’re capable of achieving.
All the students who attend The Learning Academy follow a programme bespoke to their individual educational needs. We don’t use a ‘one model fits all’ approach as we feel every child has different reasons for requiring tutoring. After an initial assessment our lead teacher writes a plan dependent on the end goal of the tutoring.
All our tutors are outstanding qualified teachers who have experience of teaching in the classroom they are not teaching assistants, sixth form students, university students or unqualified staff neither do we use computers to do the teaching for us. We believe that an experienced qualified teacher will get the best out of your child as they have experience in lesson planning, subject and curriculum knowledge as well as being able to adapt the tutoring to your child’s learning style. All of our teachers are specialists in their subject area and have a proven track record of delivering exceptional results. Please make sure that you check the qualifications of anyone you are paying to educate your child.
At The Learning Academy we understand the pressures that children are under with anxiety and depression increasing among children. We aim to nurture our students by developing a positive mindset for learning as we feel that this is a very important aspect in children developing as learners.
We are not just teachers. We are a family and believe in community, loyalty and trust. Come and join The Learning Academy family. Your child will learn, make rapid progress as well as have fun with our teachers. Your child has one chance so let us help them get the best outcomes.

At the Learning Academy we have expert 11 Plus teachers who are familiar with the components of the 11 Plus exam. The children use a variety of resources to prepare for the 11 Plus including papers written by the TLA teachers and our teachers have also created the TLA Cloud learning platform (these resources are unique to The Learning Academy). We teach the skills the children need to sit each component of the 11 Plus exam as well as build confidence and develop independence with tackling the questions.
The Learning Academy offers 11 Plus Mock Tests in June, July and August. These have been written by our teachers at the TLA and follow the format and timings of the 11 Plus exam. The level of difficulty has been developed by teachers who have a deep knowledge of the selective education system and the style of questions. Each area of the 11 Plus is covered therefore there are no surprises for the children when they take the exam in September. The 11 Plus mock exams are a great way to learn, consolidate knowledge and refine exam technique before the real thing.

Our approach to effective learning is modelled by our English and maths teachers fine tuning each student’s skills.
