Who We Are
Figure of Eight Education is committed to delivering high-quality, tailored educational support to help every learner thrive. Our mission is to empower students to reach their full potential by offering personalised tutoring that adapts to their individual needs, learning styles, and ambitions.
We specialise in English and Mathematics tuition as well as many other subjects, supporting primary and secondary school aged pupils as well as those working towards their GCSEs. WE also support Post 16+ students with their next steps in preparing for adulthood. Our experienced tutors create engaging, supportive learning environments where students not only build academic skills but also develop confidence and resilience.
Beyond traditional tutoring, we also provide alternative education pathways for learners who may not thrive in mainstream settings. This includes bespoke one-to-one and small group sessions designed to re-engage students with their education, offering flexible approaches that cater to different abilities, interests, and circumstances. Whether it’s bridging gaps in knowledge, preparing for exams, or providing ongoing educational support, our programmes are designed to meet learners where they are and guide them forward.
At Figure of Eight Education, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed — academically, socially, and personally — and we are dedicated to helping them achieve just that.
