Extra Tuition

MPW isn’t just a college for pupils at MPW. We work late and we provide extra tuition or 'Supplementary Tuition' for lots of pupils who are full-time at other schools. Lessons can, subject to tutor availability, be arranged in the late afternoon, on Saturday mornings and/or in school holiday periods.

Extra coaching is usually undertaken on a one-one basis rather than in groups, i.e. as 'Individual Tuition'. It’s a bit like being in a homework club, except that you have the undivided attention of your tutor. We’re teaching you, going over material you’re struggling with at school or getting you ahead of material that you may be covering in the future.

We do not provide individual tuition at pupils’ homes, though. We don’t believe in it. The best tutors don’t want to travel around during the evenings, but they are often happy to stay on at work after they have finished teaching MPW students to do some extra coaching for external students.

We prefer it if your school is aware that you’re having individual tuition with us. If you’re in our area (and you probably are if you have time to see us after school), then we’re going to know your school anyway. Most schools are very happy if pupils who are struggling can get some proper professional help outside school. But the best way to do it is to have some guidance from your own teachers about where you’re weak and what your priorities are.

If your parents contact us with your broad requirements by emailing enquiries@cambridge.mpw.co.uk we will get back to them to discuss tutor availability, timetables etc.
