Our Courses

With school holidays accounting for up to 30% of the calendar year, it is a fact of life that students who wish to achieve top grades in public exams need to maintain some level of academic work through their school holidays. We run residential and day-only revision for GCSE, IGCSE, A Level and IB students during UK school holidays.

We offer intensive courses of tuition, revision and exam practice geared towards concentrated study, away from all distractions. Our teaching approach is based on the tutorial system employed by the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, involving small study groups, each with their own expert tutor. Most of our courses feature the following:

• Five or more hours of time-tabled study per day
• Small study groups of less than six students timetabled per class
• Paper specific for A Level
• Tier specific for GCSE and IGCSE
• Level specific for IB
• Study skills seminars (Easter and Summer Courses only)
• Fully residential or day only
• Single occupancy or shared bedrooms
• Practice exam sessions every day
• Progress reports from each tutor
• Friendly informal atmosphere
• Evening social events (e.g. bowling, cinema, quiz-nights etc.) led by dedicated ENTZ team
• CDs containing practice exam questions and answers to take home (optional)

Size of study groups
Our class sizes are small, with no more than six students timetabled per class. This enables us to tailor courses to suit the individual needs of each student, taking into account their relevant examining boards and units to be covered, as well as the ability of each student and any particular problems they may be experiencing with a subject. It also enables us to take a personal interest in the welfare and progress of each person individually. Tutorials last 50 minutes, which we have found over the years to be the optimum length in terms of students' concentration. If a student's requirements are unique for any part of the course and we are unable to place them in a compatible group, they will be offered individual tuition.

Exam Practice
We believe that exam practice is the key to success in public exams. Very often students who attend our courses have a good knowledge of their subjects, but are unable to demonstrate this adequately in exams. Our methods of teaching revolve strongly around exam practice and technique. After each tutorial, students attempt exam questions relating to the topics just covered. This not only serves to uncover any gaps in their knowledge, but it also enables our tutors to assess how the student will perform in real exams, and to identify any deficiencies in their exam technique.

Study Skills
During our longer revision courses students have the opportunity to attend study skills seminars. The seminars are run by revision experts and cover topics such as:
