Teaching Approach
How every programme is delivered.
The curriculum changes. The method does not. Every programme is led personally by Shabnam, and built around the student in front of her.
Personalised learning
The plan is built around the student’s starting point, not a fixed schedule.
Small Groups
Discussion and debate, with individual attention retained.
One-to-one mentoring
Undivided attention, entirely paced to the student.
Exam strategies
Taught by someone who designs assessments to the same rubrics students are marked against.
Writing improvement
Structure, argument and style, developed deliberately over time.
Critical thinking
Independent interpretation, valued above rehearsed answers.
Individual feedback
Specific, personal responses to a student’s actual writing.
Learning Formats
Choose the format that suits your family.
The mentoring is the same in every format. Only the setting changes.

Discussion and debate, with individual attention retained.
