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.
