First Class Learning Edinburgh

Welcome to the Edinburgh First Class Learning Centre. Grant and Gayle have been running highly successful after school maths and English classes for 10 years (7 years previously as Kumon). We support children of all abilities in the local community who are trying to fulfil their potential.

Students of all ages attend our study centre once a week for around 30 minutes per subject. In these classes they will hand in their previous week of work and complete that day’s worksheets which will be marked, returned and discussed with the tutor. They are then set a programme of 15-30 minutes of work per day to do at home, practising what they have learnt in class to ensure mastery and fluency at each step.

Through our structured programmes we individualise each child’s learning path, which is targeted to fill any existing gaps in their understanding. This helps with their school work, builds confidence and develops independent learning skills, all of which are extremely important in today’s busy classrooms in school.

Our English and maths programmes are flexible and tailored to the learner's individual needs and abilities, so students move on only when they are confident with a topic. Regular testing ensures that the best possible progress is made. The ‘little and often’ approach, with plenty of repetition when required and practice, really does make a huge difference.
