GOAT Learning offers teacher-led tuition for children across Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2, alongside dedicated 11+ preparation and personalised 1:1 tuition.

​

Created by a qualified primary teacher, GOAT Learning combines high-quality teaching with genuinely small groups and a more relaxed, personal approach to tuition.

​

Whether your child needs support strengthening the foundations, more challenge in an area they enjoy, preparation for the Kent Test or simply benefits from learning at their own pace, sessions are shaped around what they need now and where we would like to help them get to next.

​

Small groups, plenty of individual attention

​

Our KS1, LKS2 and UKS2 group sessions are limited to just five children.

​

Small group learning gives children the best of both worlds. With only five children in a session, there is plenty of individual teacher attention, while children also benefit from learning alongside others.

​

Working together gives children opportunities to share ideas, explain their thinking, listen to different approaches and solve problems together. It can help build confidence too, particularly when children realise that others sometimes find things tricky, make mistakes or need a little help.

​

With such small groups, learning can still be adapted to the children within each session. There is time to notice when someone needs something explained differently, provide extra support where needed or offer more challenge when a child is ready for it.

​

English and maths sessions support the skills children are developing at school without simply recreating the school day. We want children to be actively involved in their learning through discussion, practical activities, games, problem solving and plenty of opportunities to practise new skills.

​

Preparing for the 11+

​

Our 11+ tuition supports children preparing for the Kent Test across English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.

​

We work on the knowledge and skills children need while helping them become familiar with different question types, vocabulary, problem solving approaches and test techniques.

​

The aim is not to create unnecessary pressure. It is to help children feel well prepared, familiar with what they may face and confident enough to give it their best.

​

1:1 tuition, shaped around your child

​

Our daytime 1:1 tuition provides the flexibility to slow things down, revisit something tricky, move ahead when a child is ready or approach learning in a completely different way.

​

It can work particularly well for home educated children, children accessing reduced school timetables and children with SEND, as well as those who simply benefit from a quieter, more individual approach.

​

There is no one size fits all programme. We take time to get to know your child, understand where they may need support and shape their sessions around them.

​

Qualified teaching, without the classroom feel

​

All tuition is planned and delivered by a qualified primary teacher with a First Class BA (Hons) degree and experience across primary education, including classroom teaching, SEND and Quality of Education leadership.

​

GOAT Learning has been created to offer families the reassurance of experienced, teacher-led tuition while keeping sessions personal, welcoming and flexible.

​

Children are supported as individuals. Activities can be adapted, learning can move at the right pace and there is time to respond to what a child needs during each session.

​

Most importantly, we want children to leave feeling that they have achieved something. That might mean finally understanding something they have found difficult, tackling a new challenge, growing in confidence or simply beginning to enjoy learning a little more.

​

Of course, we couldn't forget the goats...

​

GOAT Learning is a little different from a traditional tuition setting.

​

Alongside our dedicated indoor tuition space, we have a garden and outdoor area where children can spend supervised time around our resident goats, Pablo and Pedro.

​

The outdoor space gives us another way to make learning feel engaging and enjoyable. It might be used for a practical activity, a change of scenery, a movement break or simply a few minutes to reset before returning to learning.

​

Our goats are part of the GOAT Learning experience too. Children may have opportunities to spend supervised time with Pablo and Pedro, whether that is saying hello at the beginning or end of a session or incorporating them into an activity where it naturally fits.

​

They are not the focus of the tuition, but they are certainly part of what makes GOAT Learning memorable.

​

We want children to come through the door feeling positive about being here and leave feeling proud of what they have achieved.
