Welcome to First Class Learning Penicuik, a dedicated tuition centre supporting children in maths, English, and science. We understand that every child learns at their own pace, and some may benefit from additional support outside the classroom to reinforce their understanding and build confidence. Our carefully designed programmes help children close knowledge gaps, develop strong study habits, and achieve academic success.
Fully aligned with the National Curriculum for Scotland, our approach strengthens core skills while ensuring a deep understanding of key concepts. Using a structured, worksheet-based method, students progress at their own pace with personalised guidance.
We emphasise a pen-and-paper learning approach, ensuring that children focus without screen distractions during homework and classes. Research shows that writing by hand enhances cognitive development, memory retention, and problem-solving skills, providing long-term academic benefits.
With a strong focus on consistency and steady progress, our ‘little and often’ method helps children retain knowledge effectively. Regular assessments track progress, ensuring each student advances with confidence and a solid grasp of key topics.
Our goal is to provide a supportive, engaging, and effective learning environment that empowers every child to reach their full potential.
The first step is to arrange a free assessment for your child. Once you reach out to us, we will schedule a convenient day and time. The English and maths diagnostic tests typically take around 45 minutes per subject. After the assessment, we’ll explain more about the FCL programme, including routines, costs, and feedback processes. Based on the initial assessment, we identify the best starting point to support your child’s learning and a progression path to helping them build confidence and address any gaps in their knowledge. Once enrolled, your child will attend weekly sessions at a time that works for you. Each session involves reviewing any mistakes or questions from the previous week, as well as introducing new concepts. Students are encouraged to work independently while tutors are on hand for guidance. Following the class, students complete daily homework to reinforce their learning. Regular testing throughout the year ensures students gain proficiency across various skills. We also prioritize providing personal feedback, keeping families informed about their child’s progress.
