Parent progress tracking

See what your child is learning — and exactly where they need support.

Parents will have access to a secure progress portal, giving you a clear lesson-by-lesson view of your child’s tuition. After each session, the tutor records what was covered, progress made, strengths, weak points and the next areas to focus on.

How we support personal statements

  • We begin by identifying the strongest experiences, achievements and reflections the student already has.
  • We help organise ideas into a coherent structure so each paragraph has a purpose and adds something new.
  • Feedback focuses on reflection: what the student learned, how they developed and why an experience matters to their chosen course.
  • We edit for clarity, concision and flow while preserving the student’s own voice and avoiding generic wording.

What we want to help with

  • Choosing which experiences are worth including.
  • Turning descriptions into meaningful reflection.
  • Creating a strong opening and logical overall structure.
  • Removing repetition, vague claims and unnecessary filler.
  • Making the statement sound authentic, specific and course-focused.

What a session looks like

Students can bring a blank plan, rough notes or an existing draft. The session is adapted to the stage they are at, with practical edits and next steps rather than having the statement written for them.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
