Which centre did you attend? Burnley

• Overall how satisfied were you with the tuition centre and service? Very satisfied. However we mainly need help with writing and spelling so not sure how much use it is.
  

• What did you like most about the service/centres? Plenty of facilities, didnt seem too busy when we went.
  

• How did your child find the centres? Do you think it helped them? Loved them!
  

Really seemed to build his confidence.

• Which centre did you attend?
  

Shirley

• Overall how satisfied were you with the tuition centre and service?
  

Very satisfied. Staff members were very positive and encouraging for both child and parents. Izzy the director for Shirley was very positive and connected well with my child. I can see all the staff have a very child friendly positive attitude, which is refreshing to see.

• What did you like most about the service/centres?
  

I liked the ease of being able to pop in at any time/flexibility.
The club which offered the extra activities whilst waiting.
The reward cards for children.
Positive happy staff.

• How did your child find the centres? Do you think it helped them?
  

Yes, my daughter enjoyed it and would be happy to come back.

• Is there anything you feel could be improved?
  

Although I know the adults are helping and answering the children’s questions if they are struggling, one to one would be better.

• Would you recommend Explore Learning tuition centres to a friend or family member?
  

Yes I have already mentioned this and how good the Shirley centre is.
Cost is the biggest factor for me however I do feel it’s worth the money.

• Which centre did you attend? crawley
  
• Overall how satisfied were you with the tuition centre and service? Just an aberage experience for us.
  
• What did you like most about the service/centres? The IT provision, clean and bright
  
• How did your child find the centres? Interested but he is capable
  

Do you think it helped them? We only used two sessions - not in that time

• Is there anything you feel could be improved? My son is 10, bright, state school. Attempting 11+ as sports scholarship an option. When clear we were too close to being able to use 11+ prep plan they offer, rep suggested the secondaryschool plan. No one has followed up why we didnt get back or to discuss this more. Seems we were written off as not in immediate market for buying in.
  
• Would you recommend Explore Learning tuition centres to a friend or family member? No, as sales pitch too intense then disregarded us. If your child is capable, use apps at home instead on top of traditional learning. Very expensive.
