Our tutoring services approach is based on 5 laws of Learning. Students taking responsibilities and ownership for their future.
Unlike a day school or some other educational organisations, the Kent Christian School provides a different learning and teaching method and approach. At the Kent Christian School, we do not follow a timetabled course that is delivered to a group of pupils.
Pupils are assessed on their first visit, from which we identify the areas to focus on. The time spent on subjects will be dependent on the needs of the pupil. Hence, we can adjust the pace based on the pupil’s needs.
We are able to provide this more flexible service due to our qualified teachers and our small groups (i.e. max 5). Using our teaching method, we fully compliment the work done during the student’s day school.
Additionally, we encourage pupils’ to bring in school work for which they may be having problems so we can them help them in these areas.
The 5 laws of learning
How does this work? We begin with the questions, “How does a child learn?” and “How can WE help a child learn?” It is through a system of programmed, motivated learning that focuses the child on learning responsibility. Short and long‐range goal‐setting and rewards.
Now this may seem like a very complex system. However, there’s a foundational set of rules that have to govern the entire educational process – See the Five Laws of Learning.
Learning Law 1
states that the student must be on a level of curriculum where he can perform. All twelve year olds don’t wear the same size clothing, and all twelve year olds aren’t ready for the same curriculum grade levels. Chronological age only tells you when a child was born. Ability not age, must determine the academic performance level.
Learning Law 2
states that the student must set reasonable goals he can achieve in a prescribed period of time. Individual achievement is not an accident, it is a planned objective. Goal setting is a basic management success principle.
Learning Law 3
states that the student must be controlled and motivated.
Learning Law 4
states that learning must be measurable.
Learning Law 5
states that the student’s learning must be rewarded. Most people thrive on achievement. Children are no exception. Through consistent measurable achievement, the child earns privileges and rewards.
Delivering courses to a class is a successful mechanism for educating a group of students, but on occasions some pupils may experience difficulties due to the restrictions of teaching to a large group in a tight timetable.
Some pupils may not grasp certain topics and in a set timetable, it may be difficult to go back and review areas that need more attention. This can hinder their further studies for they may be not be tooled with the basic building blocks.
For some students, time may be spent working on subjects of which they have full comprehension and so they could actually benefit from being pushed further ahead. In summary, one shoe doesn’t usually fit all.
With the Kent Christian School, we aim to compliment the essential work of a pupil’s day’s school by helping students with difficulties or those who want to achieve higher goals.
