Bright Young Things Tuition was born in 2007. Malachy
Guinness and Woody Webster were working for one of London's most
prestigious tuition agencies when they realised that they had
something different to offer. They and their friends were young and
dynamic; their friendly and enthusiastic approach to tutoring was
proving more popular than they could handle. Malachy had just
graduated with a degree in Biology from Christ Church, Oxford and
Woody was studying for his masters in a PGCE at Oxford.
Armed with a burgeoning reputation for effective and
empathetic tutoring, and an address book full of the brightest
minds from Oxford and Cambridge, Malachy and Woody set out to
create a bright new tutoring agency whose friendly enthusiasm and
encouragement would become infectious, and prove a hit with
students both in the UK and further afield.
Over the last five years, we have listened to parents,
children, teachers and reputable educationalists and always they
confirm our very simple philosophy: the most effective education is
delivered only when the pupil respects and enjoys the teacher's
company. That is why we make such an effort to ensure that our
tutors are enthusiastic, encouraging and most importantly
empathetic. Moreover, we do our very best to find a tutor whose
personality and hobbies are compatible with your
child's.
Accordingly, the BYT methodology is based around three key
components: Awareness, Understanding and
Confidence.
Awareness: we make sure that our tutors
are fully briefed and are aware of the student's requirements, of
any particular concerns that the pupil or parent might have, of the
potential challenges the subject/level may pose, and of the pupil's
academic ambitions. We can therefore structure our tutoring
programmes accordingly.
Understanding: together they work towards
an understanding of the subject(s) in a way that is interactive,
engaging and that has long term results.
Confidence: through engaging discussion
that goes beyond the curriculum, exercises, exam practice and
practical application BYT students become confident in presenting
an argument and articulating it with clarity and conviction both
verbally and in written work.
