Why choose Pride Education?
My name is James Thomlinson (a.k.a. Mr T) and I am the founder of Pride Education. What makes Pride Education such a wonderful and empowering environment to learn in, is the incredible tutors who work here.
Our tutors are all passionate, enthusiastic, fun-loving and experienced teachers. We pride ourselves on our ability to build a rich and genuine relationship with your child. Our aim is to inspire all our students to love learning by delivering meaningful, relevant and innovative lessons.
At Pride Education, we encourage our students to take risks in their learning and show them that they are all capable of amazing things.

One-on-One Sessions
Each session focuses specifically on your child’s needs. As there are no other students involved, it is perfect for kids that are overly self-conscious or require extra support. It provides an environment free of peer judgment where students can work towards their learning goals, at their own pace.
Small Group Sessions
*Recommended option
In many ways, small group sessions are more productive and powerful than one-on-one sessions. These sessions provide the opportunity for your child to be exposed to the rich language, ideas and understanding of the other members in their group while also having their individual needs catered for.
.
.
The best grouping option for your child will be discussed during your first consultation.
*Group options are dependent on availability of compatible students.
How do we decide which group your child goes into?
.
Option 1: WE CHOOSE
We group your child with other Pride Education members we deem suitable.
.
Option 2: YOU CHOOSE
You can group your child in a pre-arranged group with friends or family members of your choosing.
.
We keep group numbers between 2 – 4 and recommend grouping students by age or ability.
