Whilst there has always been a demand for private tuition, with the advent of new technologies, online tuition has made tuition accessible to a wider and more remote audience. The drivers behind why families seek tutoring are varied; some are unhappy with large class sizes; others want to consolidate their children’s learning with one to one teaching; some families are looking for some remedial support, whilst others are seeking extension opportunities. Tuition, however it is delivered, can have a multitude of advantages in supporting a child’s education journey. But what are the pros and cons to consider with online tuition?

The official UCAS deadline to apply for a UK University course, commencing September 2023, was in January. But do not despair - If you haven't yet applied but want to study this year, there are a whole host of other entry routes available to you.

UK Summer camps have become an extremely popular activity for families over the last few years, where children and young adults discover new places, learn new skills and make life-long friends, outside of their immediate circle. It's a growing experience, and creates wonderful memories of their school holidays. At Carfax Education, we have a dedicated summer course specialist, with many years of experience. We've hand picked the top 10 summer camps around the UK, that are absolutely worth a visit - from sports camps and art schools, to academic and language programmes, there is something here for everyone aged between 3-18 years. What you may not know is that over the summer, children lose up to an astonishing 3 months worth of learning, and it can take up to 2 months for them to get back on track once at school.

It’s never too early to begin thinking about Summer Schools (also known as Summer camp), but deciding which one is the best fit for your child, can be a challenge with so much choice out there. Carfax Consultants can be the guiding hand you may need in this situation advising on how to select a course and what will bring most benefit for your child.

There are always many decisions to make as part of a child’s education journey and our Carfax consultants are firm believers that to make clear and confident choices you need information. In order for us to be able to give our clients the best possible advice, we use a suite of online profiling tools which help us to ascertain a student’s interests, academic ability and motivations. Armed with this information making decisions about university choices, school placement options and careers planning all become much easier.

At Carfax Education, we are only too aware of the challenges associated with relocating to a new area, especially for children; it can be a complex task, full of decision making and planning. However, if managed well, it offers a wealth of opportunities and opens children's eyes to new cultures and societies that can create a positive impact for the rest of their lives.

Homework can be challenging to many children, primarily because of distractions or struggles with maintaining focus and independent learning.
