I joined Explore Learning for the past few years and I am almost 7 years old now.My son that I brought in there is now in Year 8 in high school, and my daughter was at reception when she joined and is now in Primary 5. The last of my daughters joined at reception, and she is now in Primary 2.I have seen their progrress as they improve in Maths and English.We saw their handwriting improve over the years because the tutors helped them have sessions to practice handwriting using the booklets to do task. Another thing I do admire about this amazing tuition is the Creative learning that allows children to learn, think and reflect on their own. This allow my children to be good writers and able to participate in debate sessions and they become fearless learners.But sadly, this session has been removed from the Willesden Green Library Explore Learning Curriculum, which I think should be brought back to help these children learn about their world at large. The session is carried out online and lasts for an hour. Tutor-led and interactive, and they often play games such as hangman, and busstops. It was very good, and I would love it if it were added back.
Also, during half term, children have extra sessions where they come to centre to learn for about 30 minutes on topics they find challenging and teachers help them out with direct teachings and allow them to have a go with different examples. The term has changed now, even though we pay more, We do not enjoy any of these anymore and it is very concerning for parents. I have brought many friends who left due to all these changes and the high cost of living caused some to leave.
My children continue to enjoy the tuition, and that is why I am keeping them there while I do my bit as a mother at home. Charity begins at home, according to sayings. I still support my children with their learning, and the Centre should take time to reflect on the changes they brought in and how these children will be able to benefit academically.
Thank you for all you do and the changes will be soon
