If you choose the option to pay by direct debit for the Year-round Total group workshop, then a deposit is required for the creative writing and maths workbooks. The reason for the deposit, is if the student leaves before the full course finishes, then they loose the deposit money which covers the cost of the workbooks – which they have had access to while on the course. If the student stays to end of the course, the full deposit money is refunded. This is calculated in terms of not paying for the last 3 lessons of the course, at the end of the academic year. Parents don’t pay the last 3 lessons in July (2 lessons cover the cost of a creative writing and maths workbook) which is the deposit money plus their children receive 1 free complimentary lesson, for no charge, so total 3 lessons unpaid. Pls note a deposit is only required for direct debit payments for Year-round Total group workshop for Twyford Tuition kids courses only. A deposit is not required for any other courses, including the 11+.

For maths, science and 11+ & 11+ foundation, we have webinars which are categorised according to year group and topic. Once booked on to the maths, science or 11+ courses, your child will have a password and will be able to access webinars on the site, which are short videos on how to tackle questions. The password will expire, once your child finishes the course.
For maths, science, creative writing and 11+ foundation, we have created our own workbooks to compliment the lesson and for students to finish off classwork, after the lesson. Our workbooks are complimentary once booked on the course. You will be able to enter the site and print of the workbooks.
Go to the tutors volunteer page and fill in the details. We will be in touch with you after that. Volunteering works by the tutor tutoring students for free and the students instead of paying Twyford Tuition, they pay one of the charities on our list, for attending the course. We help volunteers by supporting them with their course, such as advertising and providing lesson plans etc.

Lessons maybe rescheduled to avoid clashing with main religious festivals. Every effort will be made to inform parents in advance and accommodate a suitable replacement lesson. Only 1 date for a replacement lesson will be offered to students, should the lesson be rearranged due to a religious festival.

We can’t enforce the camera being on, however it is much better for the student and the tutor if they can see each other during the lesson. The student will get so much more from the lesson, if the camera stays on as the tutor will be able to communicate better with the student. The tutor will be able to see the student’s face and see if they are struggling or they are confident, even without them saying.
Most the lessons are on Microsoft teams, but occasionaly we use Zoom instead. Once your booked on to the course, we will email you the links on zoom or microsoft teams, for all the courses.
Group workshops are term time only. 1:1 sessions can continue in the holidays.
