My son enrolled to prepare for the 11+ exams, and Ms Samim was truly a blessing. She filled his knowledge gaps, instilled confidence in him, and with each session, his progress improved significantly. With Ms Samim's invaluable help, encouragement, support, teaching, and mentorship, along with her unwavering trust in our son and other students, the results exceeded our expectations. She is the ‘magical Mary Poppins’

Maths and English Tuition at Blackburn

Welcome to First Class Learning Blackburn, where children learn to succeed. We are delighted to support children in the local community, of all ages and abilities, with Maths, English, Science and 11+ (entrance exam preparation).

Through our structured programmes, we personalise each child’s learning path, which is targeted to fill any existing gaps in their understanding and promote development of existing knowledge. This helps with their schoolwork, builds confidence, and develops independent learning skills.

My programmes are flexible and tailored to learners' individual needs and abilities, so students move on only when they are confident with a topic. Regular testing ensures that the best possible progress is made. The 'little and often' approach, with plenty of repetition and practice, really does make a huge difference.

How we work

Dr Samim will call you to discuss how she can help your child in their studies. They will then assist your child to complete an assessment to determine which path is most suitable for them. Once we have established your child's needs, we will put together a bespoke course of action that will support and encourage your child's learning. If you feel happy with our plan and that we are the best option for you and your child, they will then be able to start attending regular classes at the centre. In these classes they will complete a short piece of work which will be marked, returned and discussed with the Dr Samim, who will give them a detailed programme of homework to be completed before the next class.

FAQ

How will FCL help with my child’s school work?
By bridging gaps and developing confidence, a child’s attitude can become more positive, whilst at the same time our programmes provide them with the skills sets required to transfer through to their school studies.
Can I sit with my child while they do their work at the centre?
If a child is worried about coming along to their first session, we will work with parents to settle them in. However, you will not need to stay for long as once a child has experienced the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, they are happy to stay on their own. We aim to encourage independent and confident students.
If I join, am I tied into FCL for a set amount of time?
No, not at all. FCL is primarily a long term programme, not a 'quick fix'. However, there are many reasons why you may need to stop, so I just ask for a month's notice. Please refer to our T&C’s for further information. If you have already enrolled and have misplaced your copy, you can request another copy from the Centre Manager.
Is there car parking at the Centre?
Yes, there is a Car Park directly outside the Centre.
