Add-On Classes
Some of our courses are advertised as having “add-ons” or “extensions” as options. These are smaller sub-sets of our main class where there is more focused attention on higher-order skills, many of which are designed to directly contribute to preparing for IGCSE or A-level syllabi.

Add-Ons are for students to go higher |
All add-ons occur the 1/2-hour following the main class. There is approximately an additional 2 hours of homework each week as an average. Despite having this additional, focused attention from the tutor in smaller groups, the cost of an add-on is less than £4/week more.
The following courses have add-ons:
English: Middle Ages Literature | The focus is on expository writing such as seen in the IGCSE English Language exam (letters, speeches, stories, etc). |
English: Renaissance Literature | The focus is on literary analysis in all three genres, that is, poetry, drama, and a little bit about prose. Crucial for literature exams. |
English: British Novels | The focus is on literary analysis for novels, including characterisation, structure, atmosphere, etc. Helpful for literature exams. |
English: American Literature | The focus is on three types of research papers. |
Ancient History: Greece | The focus is on learning to write investigations of historical source materials like coins, grave stones, and other artifacts. These are crucial skills for IGCSE and A-level history exams. |
New Testament Life and Language | The focus is on learning Greek. |
Art History 1 | The focus is on learning to write analytical responses to pieces of art. This is very important for exam preparation. |
Spanish 1 | The focus is on further conversation opportunities than possible in the main course. Students will improve faster with this option. |
French 1 | The focus is on further conversation opportunities than possible in the main course. Student will improve faster with this option. |
