How we teach KS3

We begin by identifying the topics the student is currently studying at school and any areas where confidence is low.
Concepts are broken into short, clear steps using examples, questioning and guided practice rather than simply giving answers.
Lessons are interactive and paced around the student, with regular checks for understanding so misconceptions are corrected early.
We finish with a short recap and clear next steps so students know exactly what to practice between lessons.

What we want to help with

Building confidence in Maths, Sciences and other supported KS3 subjects.
Closing gaps before they become bigger problems at GCSE.
Developing strong homework, revision and organisation habits.
Improving problem-solving, written explanations and independent thinking.
Making the transition into GCSE study feel less daunting.

Specification-led teaching & progress tracking

Where a subject has an exam-board specification, we encourage students and tutors to use it as a clear checklist of exactly what needs to be understood and assessed.
Tutors keep an ongoing record of topics covered, progress made and individual weak points so support remains focused from one lesson to the next.
Weak areas are carried forward into future lessons rather than forgotten. Tutors revisit them through short recaps, retrieval questions and further exam practice until the student is more secure.
This creates continuity between sessions and helps students see their progress while ensuring important gaps are addressed before moving on.

What a session looks like

A typical KS3 lesson combines explanation, worked examples, guided questions and independent practice. The tutor adapts the balance depending on whether the student needs reteaching, consolidation or extra challenge.

Quality & safeguarding: all tutors are DBS checked and safeguarding trained. With student consent, sessions may be recorded for quality assurance so teaching standards can be reviewed and maintained.

How the parent progress portal works

A clear record of each lesson, not just a general progress update.

Once your child begins tuition, parents can be given access to the secure progress portal used by Trojan Tutoring. The portal acts as one place to follow the tuition taking place between lessons.

After the lesson, the tutor records the session. This includes the main topics covered, what the student understood well and any areas where they struggled.
Weak points are identified and carried forward. If a topic is not yet secure, it is recorded so the next tutor session can revisit it through recap, retrieval questions or further exam practice.
Parents can follow the history over time. Rather than relying on occasional verbal updates, you can see what has been taught from lesson to lesson and how previously identified weaknesses are developing.
Next steps stay visible. The tutor can use the previous lesson record to plan what should be reinforced, practiced or progressed next.

Important: The portal is used to organise and share the information. Your Trojan tutor is the person who assesses the student’s strengths, identifies weak points and decides what needs to be revisited.
