WHY CHOOSE US

Choosing the right academic support for your child can sometimes be a daunting task. To help with your decision, here are a few points that make DLG Academy stand out.

We offer all-rounded personal development

What makes us stand out from our competitors is that we don’t just offer English and Maths lessons. We offer all-rounded personal development. We support our students in their journey, we help them with their confidence, we train them to be independent learners – a very important lifelong skill – and we help them develop a strong growth mindset where they perceive every error as an opportunity to learn and grow, they learn to leave their comfort zone and challenge themselves to reach their full potential!

 

We write our own material

Another important element that sets us apart is that we write our own material and only use publications as a supplementary option. We use publications as a supplementary option, a means to further consolidate the material taught in the lesson, but we mainly write our own material. With over 20 years teaching experience in primary and secondary education, we have a solid understanding of the national curriculum, which enables us to produce material, which is created to be more thorough, challenging and topic specific.

We fill any possible educational gaps

Another reason why our students raise their level of attainment very quickly and consistently is because we make sure that any previous learning gaps in their education are filled. That is very important as knowledge builds on itself and most schools fail to teach everything, so when children progress to the next year of their learning journey they lack the foundations to build on that knowledge and therefore fail to make progress.

We always cover the entire national curriculum

We always teach the entire national curriculum in English and Maths and not just parts of it. This is very important for all-rounded academic progress and success.

We believe in children’s ability to develop

We are the only tuition centre that believes in a child’s ability to develop. For our 11+ Foundation and Preparation courses, we therefore not only accept children who score highly in the baseline assessment test at the start of the academic year, but offer every child the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We use homework to create independent learners

Homework is assigned at the end of every lesson and it is always based on the material taught. This is an opportunity to further practise and consolidate the material taught in the lesson. Because the assignments set for homework are always targeted and topic specific, we train our students into becoming independent learners, which is a very important lifelong skill.
These are some of the comments parents have shared with us after witnessing the almost immediate effect that our proven teaching methodology has had on their children’s academic progress and personal development.
  • Our daughter is so excited with her certificate – thank you. Many thanks to you. She’s a new girl since working with you, so confident and ready for any challenge. My husband and I are shocked to see this confident girl growing every day. She has become so fearless!

  • We are very impressed with Sisi’s skills in handling all the kids, giving enough attention to each of them and also adding lots of fun and laughter in the class. Thank you for taking the time to comment on all the homework submissions and also the encouraging emails you send our son. We have seen quite a lot of improvement with our son's ability and interest in Reading and Maths. We totally appreciate your support and effort.

    Year 3 parent

  • Sisi has a wonderful and natural teaching style. My son always enjoys the lessons and the homework. Sisi gives valuable and balanced feedback. Thank you!

    Year 5 parent 

  • 5/5! Sisi is a very engaging, knowledgeable and patient tutor. She recognises her students' individual needs and alters her teaching techniques to cater for all educational needs. My son is managing to stay focused and is successfully overcoming his fear of writing. His aversion to maths had an adverse effect on his progress at school. From 'just managing' in the Lower Level in Maths last year, in just 3 months of having him tutored by Sisi, he moved to the High Level. Learning became a process of self-improving. From 'withdrawn' during his Topic Lessons he is 'active' and confident and becoming more and more independent when problem solving. I strongly recommend DLG Academy."

  • Fantastic! We can’t thank Sisi enough for helping our son. Not only has he improved all round his work with reading, spelling, grammar and writing, but he is enjoying it too! Great work! Sisi’s lessons are prepared, structured, organised and you can clearly see they are tailored to the children. My wife and I would highly recommend DLG Academy…do not even look anywhere else. Thanks again!

    Year 4 parent

  • I would thoroughly recommend DLG Academy! My son was in need for some teacher and pupil contact during lockdown and I did not hesitate in starting him with Sisi. This took a bit of the pressure off myself and meant my son got the focused and structured attention he needed. I have kept him on with Sisi as he enjoys the lessons, he is covering a lot of work, which is a school year ahead, and stays motivated to learn! Sisi also encouraged him to read with some helpful tips and he has now gone up a few book levels in less than two months! Sisi also gives excellent feedback to the children and the parents and is a great teacher. Thank you so much Sisi.

    Year 3 parent

  • My son is one of the youngest children in his year group. He started tuition with Sisi when he was in Year 3, then moved on to join the 11+ Foundation Course when he was in Year 4 and finally the 11+ Preparation Course in Year 5. Sisi was quick to identify educational gaps in his learning and fill them. Within a matter of months, we moved up to the top ability set in school for both English and Maths and became a free reader. He not only was successful in the 11+ (with very high scores too), but he was also successful in the entrance exams for one of the best independent schools in the country! My husband and I were shocked and delighted to see him succeeding in such competitive exams for a school currently in the top 10 list of independent schools in the country! Sisi has helped our son work independently and motivate himself. All great qualities, which we will be proud to see him take on to secondary school.

    Year 5 parent

  • Sisi's tutoring was instrumental in helping my daughter pass her 11+ exam. Her diligent and thorough approach meant that no topic was overlooked, giving my child the confidence she needed to succeed. When we started with Sisi, she quickly spotted gaps in my daughter's learning which she helped her to focus on. What I am perhaps most grateful for however is Sisi's patient and supportive approach throughout, making the lessons fun and engaging while helping to minimise any pressures my daughter might have otherwise felt during this time.

  • My daughter Anaya started tuition with Sisi when she was in Year 3. Anaya was lagging behind especially in Maths. However, with Sisi's guidance and expertise, providing all the support and practice in the areas required, Anaya soon picked up speed. I decided to enrol Anaya into Sisi's 11 plus programme in Year 4, as the class sizes were small, which meant more one to one attention given to my daughter. Anaya has learned a range of very good mental and analytical skills whilst studying with Sisi. As parents we were very pleased with the support we were receiving and the comprehensive feedback always helped as well as the ongoing testing. Anaya passed her 11 plus with flying colours, this is down to her hard work, dedication and the good support given by Sisi, not to forget all the support her family were giving her too.

    I would definitely recommend DLG Academy as Sisi is very good at building that supportive relationship with your child, which in turn has a positive effect for them to prove their best.

    Year 5 parent

  • Sisi makes the lessons fun and engaging, so much so that our son looks forward to them and completes the homework set without fuss. It helps that Sisi always provides great feedback, giving encouragement and constructive comments. We couldn’t be happier with how it’s going!

    Year 3 parent

  • Sisi is a natural with children. My daughter looks forward to her lessons and even enjoys her homework owing to Sisi’s enthusiasm for learning and motivational feedback. She is meticulous with her work, marking and feedback and offers interesting and thoughtful lessons. Our daughter has excelled with Sisi’s support, particularly with the disruption at school. We cannot thank Sisi enough and wholeheartedly recommend her.

    Year 4 parent

  • Amazing quality tuition! Sisi’s tuition has been key to not only keeping my daughters’ learning on track - and more - during lockdown (while my husband and I try to work full time!), but also in discovering and filling in a number of gaps in their learning of which we were previously unaware. We found her support so beneficial, and the girls enjoyed her lessons so much, that we decided to keep on with the tuition even when schools opened up again. Sisi genuinely cares about the children and their development, building a strong rapport with each child and managing to make the lessons fun, which makes such a difference. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
