“My daughter really enjoys her online sessions. She was really worried to start with as she didn't like doing school online during covid but she says it's much better with her tutor. She feels she can ask when she doesn't understand something and her maths confidence has really improved.”
“I know it is quite impossible, but I would appreciate it if each kid gets, at least, 20 minutes of individual time spent with their key person so the explanation can be tailored to the own needs.”
“I am a new parent at the Edmonton centre but so far they have been efficient. Initially Lucy was the manager but only got to know her for a while before she left. But Jess is wonderful and my children love her. They always look forward to going for their sessions. Explore makes learning enjoyable and they set targets which the children try to achieve. Fingers crossed it's worth it for the 11+ exams.”
“The staff are very good.
I like how they engage with kids.
They are encouraging with the learning.
I like how the staff are firm with the kids to ensure they progress.”
“I really appreciate all help and support to my son in the 11+ exams , all staff have helped my child a lot.
All of the staff are really nice and supportive.
The only thing I wasn’t happy about it my membership renewed without my permission and I’m not bringing my child back.
Thank you again
I will still recommend didsbury to anyone!”
“We have been very impressed with Explore Learning since our six year old started sessions a few months ago. The staff have been brilliant with our son, and the learning tools are excellent. Thank you.”
“We have seen great improvements in our son's concentration and attitude towards learning since being with Explore. The centre staff have been great at listening to our concerns and always adapting for our son as needed. They've really gotten to know him and what makes him feel encouraged. He always comes out with a smile on his face! It's been so important for us to have him see learning as a positive thing, and we really appreciate the huge difference they've made here.”
“We have been with Explore Learning for around 5 years now, and have had other members of our family also use their service over many years - both in centre and online tuition. The Explore centre environment is spot on for my child, he needs to be immersed into a 'ready to learn' frame of mind (which is so hard to achieve at home) and the staff and set up at Explore does this perfectly. The tutors and managers are engaging and supportive to both my child and to us as parents. The ongoing assessment of my child ensures I know exactly what level he is working at, what he is capable of and where he is struggling. Compared to other tuition providers in my area, this is the best value for money.”
“I am quite happy with the educational method and strategy which Explore Learning uses as my daughter has made considerable improvements. She is also always very motivated and interested in going to her learning sessions and always she likes to stay longer.
Just amazing!!!!”
“Explore Learning provided some exercise books but some did not have parents’ guide. It is hard for me to do revision with my child without parents’ guide.”
“Absolutely dreadful , our local branch is like a creche . The staff look totally fed up and would rather be anywhere else.
We saw our daughter left for long periods sitting at a computer screen with no one checking her. We were informed that she was working a year behind in English despite attending for 6 months Explore for 6 months !??. No plans were put in place to help them bring her back up to level.
Serious safeguarding concerns, they don't even know who your child is when you go to pick them up .”
“Absolutely dreadful! Every week there’s a different issue logging in, every week when we do manage to log in we find the tutor hasn’t turned up. I call and call and call and they never answer. I can’t even get through to Explore Learning to cancel the lessons completely. They also don’t reply to messages left on their answer machine. My daughter hasn’t had a lesson for a month due to their technology failures yet they still charge me. They change the tutor every week and some tutors have a poor grasp of English grammar when they speak. Some tutors purposely don’t show their face, which is very strange and creepy.”
“Just finished 11+ so in retrospect:
We used explore Learning for maybe 2 months online in our early learning stage in summer.
It is definitely not worth the money. The resources are confusing and not the level you need for 11+. The teacher we had was lovely, but they strictly have to follow a book so even individual classes are not tailored to your kids needs.
Definitely not worth the money. Research- there are much better and cheaper online resources.”
“Very disappointed by the service provided. I contacted them to get support for my son 11+ preparation. We changed 4 tutors in less than 4 months. Books, which we paid for upfront, were delivered late and partially. Communication was also awful. They swapped tutors at the last minute without even informimg us. We lost money and time.”
