Why Homework Clubs Are Good

Kids Enjoy Working in Groups

Pupils figure out how to obtain a feeling of achievement when they’ve complete the tasks they’ve been set. This is something that helps to generate good study habits in students. In these groups, pupils are matched well with their coaches to help them in their weak areas.

Many schools provide homework clubs, but you may, at times, never hear about it. It is always worth asking what’s available as homework clubs are a secure environment where students can get their work done with no distractions. Also, with the advantage of getting aid there in the shape of managers or teachers should they want it.

Conducive Environment

There might be people in the homework club, who may help in a manner that parents might not have the capability to. It’s an environment that’s ideal whenever kids are out of their school environment to be in to perform work.

Provides Extra Motivation

Children feel comfortable and happy being a part of something, such as a homework club. It highlights to students at a young age the value of working hard to find and the importance of homework. But a homework club may be a social place and time where pupils have the chance to grow further in their research in addition to developing their communication abilities.

Interesting ideas for primary homework

Evenings and weekends are precious to us all. So don't waste children's time, and your own, by setting dull homework...

Homework – a compound word that resonates down the chalk dust swirling corridors of all our school days. Home: warmth, security, a place to relax. Work: well, fill this one in yourself, why don’t you?

The point is, the two things don’t often sit well together and I have always been ambivalent about the value of homework for children under 11. An Ofsted inspector once told me that they’d stopped being critical of schools about parental attitudes to homework, because invariably half of parents thought the school set too little and the other half set too much, so schools couldn’t win (no change there, then).

Some parents think homework must be a ‘good thing’, without being quite sure why. They may have read it in the Daily Mail, or they may be of the “I had to do it and it never did me any harm” school of thought, in which case what’s wrong with flogging and outside lavatories?

These may well be the same parents who can remember how to do quadratic equations; unlike me whose secondary school child regularly weeps into her calculator at half nine of a Tuesday evening whilst bewailing the fact her parent is a mathematical imbecile. (Watch out, I riposte, it’s genetic.)

When homework has a positive impact

The nub of the matter is that homework is only useful when meaningful, related to and supporting class based work, well matched to the child, time limited and marked with top notch feedback from the teacher. Sadly, this is only the case in a minority of cases. Having got those longwinded caveats off my chest, here are some suggestions where homework can be manageable (for both the setter and the doer) and have a positive impact.

6 creative homework tasks

Interview a family member about their school days, work, play, food, etc. This develops questioning skills and can be recorded rather than written. Digital dictaphones are available for 20 quid and are within the reach of most schools. Results can be shared and presented in any way from a video presentation to a pie chart.

2. Pack a suitcase

Following some input on WWII and the mass evacuation of the young, set the children the task of making their own evacuation suitcase. (Some children will literally make one out of cardboard, but it’s the contents that are the key). What five things would they take with them and why? They can write this, or simply talk through their suitcase with the rest of the class. It’s the thinking behind this task that is the real learning. The speaking/ listening/writing is, as so often, a secondary benefit.

3. Flour babies

Read Anne Fine’s tremendous book of the same name, then provide the children with their very own flour baby (basically a 1 kilo bag of flour they have to look after as if it’s a baby). Children will draw faces on theirs, dress it, even push it to school in a toy buggy. Again, the real learning is in the thinking and empathy the activity generates.

4. Parent portraits

Sketch a parent in Henry Moore / Lucian Freud style, i.e. unflatteringly. It’s great fun, gives the parents a break from the child’s “I don’t know what to draw” cry and is a chance to look at more recent British artists.

5. Set up a museum

Our Y3 and Y4 children were recently given the task of designing their own Egyptian artefact at home. Resourcefulness from children – irrespective of family background – was stunning. We received several hieroglyphic scrolls (rolled up around cotton reels, rubbed with a tea bag to give the ageing effect) a multiplicity of pyramids (made from card, plasticine, lego), sarcophaguses, jewellery and lots of mummified Barbies and Kens. The class was turned into a museum, with carefully written exhibit cards and children curators on hand to explain the historical background to why the Egyptians valued these things, and opened up to parents and other classes on a Friday afternoon.

6. Serve breakfast

Sanctions for not having done homework don’t work, rewards do. Compare “If you don’t hand in homework you’ll miss break / lunch / PE / life.” With ” If you do hand it in regularly you’ll be invited to the end of half term Big Breakfast in the hall where your teacher will serve you toast, cereal, yoghurts, juice, etc.” Simple really, and a special occasion to look forward to at the end of half term.

Level the playing field

Set up a homework club…

For those children who don’t have access to books, internet, paper, pencils, scissors, glue at home, you could start a homework club and give those attending use of the school’s ICT facilities. For those familes who are ‘book poor’ you need to make sure your own library is well provided for. Last Christmas I asked assembly, “How many of you got some sort of a book as a Christmas present?” Less than half the hands went up. In the People’s Republic of Harcombe, when I get round to setting it up, the giving of books as presents would be enforced by presidential decree.

Throw the book at them

primary homework club

When parents ask about homework for their child I always respond that a) the best thing for a child to do of an evening is have some quality time with family and friends, sit down for a meal together, play a sport, learn a musical instrument or sing and not feel badgered into working all the hours God sends, and b) reading is just about the best homework anyone, adult or child, can do.

Parents don’t count reading as homework, see, and we need to educate them (this parent thinks homework is when you have indentations in your finger from holding the pen/tapping the keyboard for three hours, because writing is homework).

Time spent reading is seldom wasted and is either entertaining, thought provoking or informative or – just like this article, hopefully – all three. If you like you can structure what the children read by recommending lists (The Redlands Ten – ten books to read before you’re 10) to add a little challenge to the task. Local libraries might be able to help by ordering multiple copies of books for those parents that can’t/won’t buy them. Children get a certificate (and a book!) when they complete the ten.

The Importance of After School Clubs & What Makes a Good One

The Importance of After School Clubs & What Makes a Good One

In today’s current climate, it has never been more important to find affordable and reliable childcare options. 

Many working parents choose after school clubs to help juggle work and childcare but these clubs come in many different forms; from vocational to educational, so it’s crucial to understand why after school clubs are important and what makes a great session.

After school clubs are, without a doubt, one of the best ways for your children to learn new skills and make friends, whilst also being looked after in a safe environment. 

You might be asking yourself how after school clubs are any different from school? Or a childminder… The main difference is that after school clubs focus strongly on making sure the children are playing and having fun while also learning new things; almost a hybrid of the two!

There isn’t always a pressure to teach new concepts and the majority of learning comes through play or creativity. Children can still complete homework tasks and learn new concepts but the environment is different from that of a traditional classroom.

That’s not all that an after school club can do for your children! Read on to find out more about the benefits of after school clubs.

Importance of after school clubs

After school clubs are beneficial for children of all ages. Whether they’re making new friends and burning off energy or they’re getting through some difficult maths homework, there is a place for every child in an after school club. 

For young children, it is an opportunity to play with friends and socialise with children who have similar interests to them. And for older children they can make new friends or just be in a safe environment where they are not alone after school. 

It’s also important to note that after school clubs can play an important role in enhancing educational attainment in children. 

Giving children extra time to work on homework or to learn a new skill that they did not have time for during school hours can enhance their overall development and improve their school performance. Being around other children who are keen to learn a new skill can also motivate them to take part in new activities or learn something different.

So we’ve established that after school clubs can enhance academic attainment for children, but what about the benefits for you as a parent?

Knowing there is a reliable, affordable childcare solution for their child is a weight off of any parent’s shoulders. And it’s an added bonus knowing their child will have fun and learn during the sessions as well. Gone are the days of trying to balance working from home with your children running around in the background!

But you’ve probably got a few questions around after school clubs - how they work, when they run, types of activities they include… we’ve got you covered…

Do after school clubs need to be Ofsted registered?

The short answer is that yes, after school clubs need to be Ofsted registered. The criteria differs according to the ages of the children but Ofsted registration gives peace of mind that the after school club is accredited by a trustworthy and professional body that regulates educational and childcare activities.

There are two different ways after school clubs can be registered:

Early years register 

If the after school club looks after children aged from birth to five years old for more than two hours per day then look out for ‘Early Years Register’. 

Compulsory childcare register

If an after school club looks after children from the 1st of September after their 5th birthday up to the age of eight for more than two hours per day, look out for the ‘Compulsory Childcare Register’.

There are some situations in which after school clubs might not need to be registered, such as if they are only teaching a skill to children and not providing childcare, but in most cases it is best practice to be registered so definitely check this out with any after school provider you’re considering for your child.

The only scenario in which an after school club definitely does not need to register is when it is directly run by a school and at least one child from that school attends the club, so no need to worry if your child is staying behind at their school for revision sessions or enrichment activities. 

It’s important to note that after school club regulations in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales are slightly different. This article provides more in-depth information about the requirements.

Can you get help with after school club fees?

In the current economic climate it is becoming increasingly difficult to find childcare options that are within budget. A recent study found that after school club costs have risen by more than £800 a year since 2010.  

However, it is possible for parents to get help with after school club fees, particularly if they are experiencing specific circumstances. 

If you receive Universal Credit payments, you can get up to 85% of childcare costs paid back. You will have to pay the cost upfront and then submit for a refund, but if you cannot pay the upfront cost there are other options in place to help; Flexible support fund or an advance from Universal Credit.  

What makes a good after school club? 

Are you looking to sign your children up for an after school club but you’re unsure where to start? Here are some important criteria to consider when making your decision:

Educational but engaging

Children should come to an after school club feeling excited and enthusiastic about what they are going to learn. 

After a long school day they will need to burn some energy and do some activities which give their brain a rest. That’s why it’s important that the after school club provides activities that are educational but engaging. 

Your children should return home feeling inspired and motivated with a desire to keep coming to the club. Look out for clubs that offer a diverse range of activities.

Caring staff members

In an after school club environment the relationship between the children and the teachers and teaching assistants is slightly different than in a classroom environment. 

The adults in charge will make sure to create a special bond with the children and accommodate their needs individually, much more so than in a traditional classroom. Ask around in the local community for reviews from other parents, or check out their website and social media channels. If they have positive client reviews and if other parents can recommend them to you then you can be sure you’re making a good choice. 

Breaks in sessions

A four year old child has an attention span of around 8 to 12 minutes . And a 14 year old child can focus for around 28 to 42 minutes . This is important to consider when choosing sessions at after school clubs. 

Take into account the age of your children and make sure the club is offering lots of options to keep them engaged and occupied. 

Taking breaks between activities no matter how old the children are is important for them to run off some energy (like doing some jumping jacks or playing a quick game of snap or uno to give them a brain break) and then they can return to an activity with a fresh mind.

Low cost or free

After school clubs are not only beneficial for children but also for parents, particularly those from less privileged families who struggle to afford the costs of private childcare. 

There are a whole host of free after school clubs - if you’re not sure how to find out about them, you could try one of the following:

  • Ask your child’s school if there are any options to stay behind and participate in more activities 
  • Contact your local library as they often run initiatives
  • Get in touch with a local sports club as participation tends to be free (minus the cost of kit)

Bespoke resources

You should consider what resources the after school club can provide to help make your decision about where to send your child. Some resources that will ensure children have an enriching learning experience are: 

  • Quality time with teaching assistants where they take time to explain concepts and work through tasks on a one-to-one basis. 
  • Arts and crafts - materials that allow children to be creative and partake in safe fun with supervision of scissors and all things sharp! 
  • Homework help - having expert tutors on hand to explain difficult concepts to children is useful and will have a positive impact on academic achievements. 
  • Group work where children get a chance to interact and socialise with each other will develop social skills. 
  • Provide additional resources like links to videos, worksheets and websites that can enhance children’s experiences. This can help parents know what they can do to support their children back home.

Participation in these clubs means that children will achieve more at school and manage to keep up with the rest of their class, relieving the worry for parents whose children are struggling in school.

Enriched curriculum

After school clubs today can offer a range of extra-curricular activities. Some skills that they can teach children which may not be part of their traditional school curriculum are:

  • Photography
  • Mixed sports
  • Board games

Because children learn through play, each of these activities allows them to learn new skills and enhances their traditional curriculum as a result. If they become confident at a board game, their counting skills will improve. Or if they learn about gardening they will also gain an awareness of the planet and the environment around them. 

When choosing a club, consider the range of activities that they offer. 

Encourages inclusivity 

After school clubs should include all children no matter their background. This in turn creates an inclusive environment for children to be involved in. Extra-curricular activities provide an opportunity to meet lots of different children with varied interests, something which may be different in their classroom environment.

Opportunities to socialise

After school clubs are extremely social environments. Putting children in groups with others who also like doing the same activities provides multiple opportunities for socialising and interacting with each other. 

The soft skills that children can learn from being in social situations can benefit them in all areas of their lives. They will become confident when working in a team and they will gain an awareness of other people’s feelings, improving their emotional intelligence as a result. 

After school club ideas

If you’re a parent who is looking to find an after school club in your local area, here are some ideas of what to look for:

  • Arts and crafts club - where students can get as creative as they like with different art materials. 
  • Photography club - typically for older students who have interest in cameras and photography. This would allow them to work on something they’re passionate about whilst socialising with others. 
  • Mixed sports clubs - where children get used to playing sports with other genders can also open their minds to different ways of playing sports which they may originally perceive as girls-only or boys-only. 
  • Homework club - a fun way to encourage children to view homework from a different perspective; a fun, collaborative task and it could encourage them to ask for help when they need it. 
  • Computer club - a great one for older students where they learn vital IT skills or even some basic coding classes. If students can see how this skill will help them in their future careers then they will be even more motivated to learn. 
  • Breakfast club - let’s not forget that after school clubs aren’t just for the end of the school day. Many schools offer breakfast clubs that bring childcare and nutritional meals before school, typically running from 7:30 or 8am, giving parents the option of dropping children off on the way to work.  

You could even consider setting up a club yourself with some more unusual options such as: video animation, drama, debating or even Disney themed! Be sure to register your club though, where required.

Encouraging students to participate in extracurricular activities

After school clubs are an excellent way to encourage children to participate in extracurricular activities. Sometimes students don’t enjoy classes because of a lack of confidence. There are several different ways both parents and teachers can help to build this confidence in them.

Icebreaker sessions

Welcoming everyone to the class with a game; students are paired up randomly and they get to know each other and report back to the class 5 things they learned about one another. 

Incentives and rewards

Parents could offer incentives for attending after school activities - perhaps sticker charts, pocket money or screen time allowances - these are all great ‘carrots’ to dangle!

Teacher recommendations

Teachers should make an effort to listen to students’ hobbies and interests and recommend some clubs to join and encourage them to take part in after school activities and classes to further their skills in these areas.

Learning Cubs’ after school clubs

The beginner's guide to primary-school homework

Beginner's guide to primary-school homework

What’s the point of homework?

For many families, homework is a nightly battle, but primary schools set it for a variety of reasons. ‘It helps to consolidate the skills that are being taught at school, and provides children with additional revision opportunities,’ explains head teacher Steph Matthews of St Paul’s CofE School, Gloucester .

‘It also gives children an opportunity to explore learning in an unstructured setting, encouraging them to be independent and follow their own lines of enquiry.’ In addition, homework creates a partnership between school and family, giving parents an insight into what their child is learning.

primary homework club

How much homework should my child get in primary school?

In the past, the Department for Education advised that Key Stage 1 children should do an hour of homework each week, rising to half an hour per night in Key Stage 2. This advice was scrapped in 2012, giving schools more freedom, but many still follow the old guidelines.

In Reception , formal homework is rarely set. However, children are likely to bring home books to share with the family, first reading books, and/or keywords to learn.

In Years 1 and 2 , children are likely to have one or two tasks per week. This could be literacy or numeracy worksheets (for example an exercise where children have to compare the weights of different household items), a short piece of writing (such as a recount of a school trip) or work relating to the class topic (find out five facts about the Great Fire of London ).

In Years 3 and 4 , most schools set two homework activities each week: typically, one literacy (such as a worksheet on collective nouns, or a book review ) and one numeracy (a worksheet on bar charts).

In Years 5 and 6 , children may have two or three pieces of homework each week. ‘The amount begins to increase to prepare children for SATs and the transition to secondary school,’ says Steph. These activities might include maths worksheets, researching a topic, book reviews and grammar exercises.

Alongside formal homework tasks, most children bring home reading scheme books from Reception onwards, with weekly spellings and times tables from Year 1 or 2.

Learning logs and homework challenges

Not all schools rely on handing out worksheets. Learning logs or challenges are becoming more popular: children are given a folder of suggested activities – from writing a poem to building a model castle – and must choose a certain number to complete throughout the term.

Other schools ensure that homework ties in with the current class topic. ‘We have a themed approach, and set homework activities that give opportunities to explore the topic in a fun way, for example, designing a method of transport that Phileas Fogg could use to travel the world,’ explains Steph.  

Modern homework methods

Unsurprisingly, technology is playing an increasingly important part in homework. Some schools use online reading schemes such as Bug Club , where teachers allocate e-books of the appropriate level, or subscription services like SAM Learning  to set cross-curricular tasks.

A growing number also set homework electronically , with children logging into the school website to download their task.

What if the homework is too much – or too hard?

If you feel your child is overloaded with homework, speak to the teacher. ‘Forcing children to complete homework is counterproductive, because they come to perceive it as a chore,’ says Rod Grant, head teacher of Clifton Hall School, Edinburgh . ‘This makes learning appear boring, arduous or both, and that is really dangerous, in my view.’

Most schools publish their homework policy on the school website , telling parents exactly what to expect. ‘Teachers should make their expectations very clear in terms of deadlines and how long it should take, and should also differentiate tasks to suit the level of the pupil,’ adds Steph.

No homework at all?

If your child doesn’t get any homework, you may feel out of touch with his learning, or concerned that he isn’t being challenged. But there are good reasons why some schools don’t set homework, or set it only occasionally, says Rod. ‘Although homework can be beneficial, family life tends to suffer as a result of it being imposed,’ he explains. ‘ If a school isn’t providing homework, there’s plenty that parents can do at home instead : reading with their children, doing number puzzles on car journeys, using online resources, and so on.’

Parents may also worry that without doing homework, children won’t develop study habits for later life. ‘There is genuinely no need for a six-year-old to get into a routine of working at home; there’s time to learn that later,’ Rod advises. ‘Parents need to relax and encourage children to love learning – and that comes when learning is fun, relevant and engaging, not through doing homework tasks that are unchallenging, or secretarial in nature.’

Clubbing together to get the homework done

Homework clubs operate in different forms and benefit parents as well as children.

primary homework club

What parent hasn’t wished that homework would just go away? At the end of a hard day, it’s hardly the activity of choice when tiredness is fraying tempers all round.

At best homework is time-consuming, at worst it’s an “extreme sport”, as one parent puts it. No wonder some parents resort to finishing it off themselves, just to get rid of it.

Even the Irish Primary Principals’ Network (IPPN) has acknowledged that “homework causes a lot of stress between parents and children” and that “it often erodes the ‘quality time’ that parents have with their children”. It told an Oireachtas committee in 2010 that the role of homework in the education system needed serious research and analysis, but it wasn’t suggesting dispensing with it.

At a time of ongoing debate about the shortness of the primary school day and the need for more support for childcare, homework clubs seem like a neat solution for parents. But they are also very effective in helping children who, for a variety of reasons, may find it hard to do the work at home.

Homework clubs come in many guises, from State-funded ones aimed at supporting disadvantaged children, through individual schools making their own arrangements for the mutual benefit of children and parents, to private businesses filling a gap in the market.

No matter what type of club a child attends, they all have the advantage of providing a routine and structure to get the homework done. The children – and their parents – can go home without it hanging over them.

Homework clubs are an integral part of the School Completion Programme (SCP), which aims to keep students on track to finish a full six years of secondary-level education and sit the Leaving Certificate or its equivalent.

It has 124 projects around the country, covering 470 primary and 224 post-primary schools, and nearly all these projects would have a homework club as part of their after-school activities. Supervised support The clubs target pupils who, in the opinion of teachers, parents or sometimes the children themselves, would benefit from the support of supervised group homework, says Ethel Reynolds, regional manager for the SCP, a strand within the National Educational Welfare Board.

“Not every child wants to stay back and, on the other hand, sometimes there is a queue of people wanting to join homework clubs.”

The clubs help the children to learn organisational skills. Instead of having homework interrupted by every distraction possible, the children are encouraged to apply themselves to getting the job done and the books back in the school bag.

There’s usually the “carrot” of a fun activity at the end, to motivate them – such as art, football or basketball.

The result of being supported in having homework routinely completed is that the child goes into school more confident the next morning, not having to face possible public reprimand from a teacher, Reynolds explains.

Students attending the clubs may finish off their homework at home. “It is not the task to undermine the role of the parent at home in doing this,” she stresses.

It was a demand from parents that led the CBS Primary School in Kilkenny to set up a homework club a few years ago, at a cost of €10 a week for an hour each afternoon Monday to Thursday.

“It was to afford the children the opportunity to do their homework supervised by teachers but there was no tutoring going on,” says principal Denis O’Reilly. And parents were reminded that the ultimate responsibility for homework, in terms of completion and checking, still rested with them.

It worked very well but, in recent times, numbers attending have dropped to about half a dozen, he reports. The club has stopped for the summer term, when the boys are involved in more sporting activities after school, however it will be offered again in September.

Scoil Mhuire Convent Primary School in Roscommon has a more extensive homework club teamed with activities, such as music, camogie, chess and drama, from 3pm to 5pm, Monday to Thursday.

Children can attend just for the homework or for the activities, or for both, mostly at a cost of €2 per session.

Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne in Dingle, Co Kerry, is one example of an Irish-speaking secondary school which runs a free homework club to give extra support to first and second-year pupils who have difficulty completing their homework through Irish.

Their parents may not have sufficient knowledge of the language to help them at home. The students go to it from 4pm to 6pm, Monday to Thursday, and there are teachers there to help them with any words they have difficulty with. Attention Children attending a community-based homework club in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, "absolutely love" it, according to its co-ordinator Mary Boyd Ryan. "They love the fact that you are sitting down with them and giving them attention."

Run by the North Tipperary Leader Partnership in the boardroom of its offices, the club started off one day a week but now operates from 3pm to 5pm, Monday to Thursday, funded through Pobal.

It caters for just over 20 children, aged seven to 10, who are offered sandwiches and drinks when they arrive. People working on Community Employment schemes, who are interested in getting into youth work as a career, sit in with the children as they do their homework, helping out where necessary.

Generally whatever is listed in their homework journals is completed by the children, says Boyd Ryan, who adds: “We would push to get the best from them.”

Meanwhile, a new venture in Blackrock, Co Dublin, called The Hub, is setting up a standalone, private homework club, alongside a Links Childcare centre on Stradbrook Road.

“There is definitely a demand for it,” says The Hub co-ordinator Danielle Nolan, who believes it will appeal to parents who don’t have the chance to go home and get stuck into homework. She also thinks children pay more attention to their homework when they are doing it with someone else.

"Trained teachers will supervise and help them with their homework – and give them extra activities if they finish before time," she adds. Parental involvement Split into junior and senior sections, the club will run from 3-4.30pm, Monday to Thursday, and cost from €12 for one day a week to €29 for all four days.

As much as some parents might like to be taken out of the homework equation, research shows that parental involvement in children’s learning in the home makes a significant impact on improving educational outcomes for their children.

“Homework can offer parents an important opportunity to engage with their children’s learning in the home,” says the chief executive of the National Parents’ Council Primary, Áine Lynch.

“If, for any reason, children complete homework outside the home environment, for example at a homework club, it is important that parents find other ways of engaging in their children’s learning in the home.”

Learning Clubs

Even though my child has always been good with her homework, she's now more into it and shows more initiative than before. Parent of Learning Club student

Learning Clubs provide a safe and supportive out-of-school learning environment where primary or secondary students can participate in activities that develop their academic skills, such as homework, numeracy and literacy. Clubs usually run in terms two and three each year, and children attend once or twice a week at no cost.

Through regular attendance at our Learning Clubs , students are able to enhance their learning and development skills. Students’ involvement with Learning Clubs enables them to access local volunteer tutors who have appropriate skills and knowledge to support Club activities.

Our Learning Clubs may differ across the country according to each community’s identified needs and where the community is located. For example, some clubs provide homework support, tutoring or help with a specific skill set (cognitive or non–cognitive) that assists participating children and young people to benefit more fully from their school based learning.

Lack of educational support in the home can have a lasting impact on a child’s future.

Research shows increased educational levels reduce the probability of current financial disadvantage becoming a long-term problem.

Students from low socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to have lower educational achievement. Often these students are additionally disadvantaged by minimal financial resources and parents who may have low educational attainment themselves, English as a second language, or are unable to provide strong educational support. This can result in poor student outcomes including leaving school early, unemployment or underemployment, poor health, delinquency and possibly crime.

Research tells us that offering learning opportunities outside of school hours is one way to improve the learning success of students and positively influence educational and personal outcomes. Students experiencing disadvantage can miss out on these kinds of out-of-school programs as they are often too costly for families with limited financial means.

Akot, Learning Club student

[The tutor] has a really good sense of humour and is positive in every way. Even if he can't explain a problem to me he will always try his best. He has a lot of intelligence and now is passing that to me. It helps. At home I can’t help. It helps me learn as well. Parent of a child attending a Learning Club

Akot started attending the Trinity Learning Club in Term 3. Initially he was very quiet and didn’t talk to the coordinators or tutors. He often had a serious look on his face and didn't show signs of acknowledgement when someone said 'hello' or asked him a question.

By Term 4, Akot seemed like a new person! He was still fairly quiet and shy, however he was engaged with his tutor and in learning. He also started to smile and seemed more confident.

How learning clubs help

Learning Clubs aim to increase student engagement with learning by increasing students’ academic engagement and achievement.

Students who are able to complete school and homework are more likely to stay in school and complete Year 12.

Watch Tahlia's story to see the difference Learning Clubs can make to students lives.

With the help of the Learning Clubs program, students are able to get the life changing out-of-school learning support they need to enhance their learning and development skills. Help support our education programs.

Homework help

Necessity of online homework help.

Contemporary world is a scene for competitions. Starting at early childhood environment immerse us into struggle for best positions. With constant population growth it becomes harder to get a place in kindergartens, schools for gifted children, prestigious universities and, of course, you are not alone in desire to have a well-paid job. Children since early age know that they must study hard, devote themselves into different subjects, and be successful and active in post-school projects. Under pressure of numerous complex tasks no wonder they often require homework help. For their needs special websites were launched. And now every child can get guidance and online homework help from every corner of the world. With opportunity to ask questions about necessary subjects he will at his own pace learn information. This also adds more individuality to process of studying, as children might experience problems with concentrated and fast group-learning. Online homework help is not merely a way to make grades better and to finish all tasks in time, it's personal attention and support. Websites offer plenty of subjects to work at, but according to searches most popular (as it's complicated to understand) is math homework help. This subject is a nightmare for both schoolchildren and their parents.

Why using college homework help is beneficial

It might come as surprise for graduates but when you enter college or university, amount of homework will be only increasing. Yes, besides lectures and practical courses you are obliged to do some homework too. And it might be incredibly more complicated than all things you have done in school. Plenty of students are struggling to cope with amount of tasks themselves but some are looking for websites for college homework help. With current subjects, with unknown teachers, with new classrooms it's stressful enough for young people to be focused. That's why students choose homework help discord, a place to discuss all difficulties online and solve problems. With guidance and support of experts it's easier to understand unknown topics and work on self-improvement. It's recommended not to torture yourself and get accounting homework help or any other kind of assistance. With wide range of professionals you can find a person no matter how complicated your task is.

Is it safe to trust strangers with important tasks?

Looking for online help with college or school tasks you might doubt reliability of person who is assisting you from other side of screen. How is it possible to find a proper tutor for difficult statistics homework help? Read reviews, study information, ask for certificates or diplomas to be assured you hire a true expert to perform job

Lay the foundation for future scholastic success with our early learning programs.

Phonics & Sight Words

An early start is the best way to create a solid foundation and strong learning habits. At Tutoring Club, we create a fun environment for children to learn the basics and develop their own unique learning style.

At this grade level, we focus on developing phonics skills as your student starts their exciting journey toward independent reading. They will connect their newfound language skills to pencil and paper, strengthening their writing skills every step of the way.

For math, we dive headfirst into numbers and their properties. As students become more comfortable with numerical concepts, they are taught to count and identify patterns. Ultimately, students will apply this knowledge to introductory addition, subtraction, and place value exercises.

Utilize a proven curriculum to strengthen academic skills and learning styles.

Utilize a proven curriculum to strengthen academic skills and learning styles.

School Support

Let’s face it—schools and the way kids are taught has changed…A LOT. New methodologies have made it difficult for teachers and parents alike to teach new concepts to students. That’s where we come in—our programs teach concepts in a way that your student can easily understand and take to the classroom.

At this age, readers are expected to extract and analyze information. Our expert tutors work with students on utilizing root words, context clues, and supporting details to deepen their understanding of the texts.

Beginning with basics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, students first master foundational math principles and develop number sense—an understanding of place value, rounding, and number patterns. We then introduce more advanced concepts like fractions and decimals, both of which become focal points in future math courses.

Develop the study skills and organizational habits needed to effectively prepare for high school.

Develop the study skills and organizational habits needed to effectively prepare for high school.

To thrive in middle school, strong study habits and organizational skills are more important than ever. At Tutoring Club, we eliminate all the unwanted stress that comes with more challenging homework assignments and more demanding exams. In addition to developing their study skills, we help them navigate their daily schoolwork– from homework and essays to prepping for that pesky Algebra quiz, our tutors can help your student directly with their assignments from school.

For students performing below grade-level or for those looking to get ahead with their reading, math, or writing skills, Tutoring Club’s academic programs are a perfect solution. Our curriculum is designed to boost confidence levels and understanding of key concepts, regardless of your student’s current confidence level. These programs allow for students to take their knowledge to new heights and tackle the remainder of middle school with enthusiasm and self-assurance!

Work with our experts every step of the way— from freshman year courses to SAT/ACT preparation and even college admissions, we are here.

Test Prep

The dense workloads and ever-changing schedules of teenage students can be overwhelming. By serving as an intermediary between parent and student, we eliminate the late nights and unwanted stress that comes with more challenging homework assignments and more demanding examinations. At this stage of an academic career, learning how to study is as important as studying itself. To produce successful competitors in the ‘game’ that is school, we impart both the structure and technique needed to maximize student potential. Checking grades, limiting distractions, and developing strong rapports with teachers are just some of the practices that we instill in our students to make learning a priority, not an afterthought.

Our proven strategies help students reduce anxiety, improve recall, and get the results they deserve.

College Prep

At Tutoring Club, we are NOT one-size-fits-all, classroom-style, proceed at a single pace, white-board style prep. We believe strongly in individualized programs designed to provide test-taking strategies that reduce anxiety and improve recall. Further, we are firm believers in targeting only those areas in which students do not demonstrate mastery. After prep, students walk into these critical exams with the knowledge and confidence to achieve excellent results.
