how it all began

The co-founder and his bunch of university friends called themselves ‘The Cohort’… and the name just stuck

Home > How It All Began

The first momentous moment came to our founders in the very early weeks after a meeting with a concerned single mum who had been let down by her child’s school and was struggling to provide the best for her son. This inspired the founders and Cohort’s top three priorities quickly emerged

1.

Students making excellent progress in a safe, engaging environment and offering excellent value to parents was the number one priority. They needed to help their parents realise their dreams and aspirations for their children, Cohort needed to make their hard-earned money go as far as possible, by offering excellent quality tutoring at reasonable prices.

2.

The 1st priority could only be achieved by having the best tutors working with students and by fostering an excellent ethos of hard work and passion for achievement. Ensuring teachers were valued and had the resources at their fingertips to deliver excellent lessons was essential.

3.

They had to stay viable and be able to pay the bills to continue to be able to make a difference. However, they believed that if they focussed on the first 2 priorities and didn’t get carried away with extremely expensive photocopiers, priority number 3 would simply look after itself.

Rated ‘Excellent’ by our parents

My son has been going to Cohort Tuition for a few years now and he has excelled in both Maths and English and is now in the top set for these subjects. It was extremely difficult to find someone whom you can trust and know that they are providing the best Tuition Education for your child and we are just happy that Cohort Tuition provides both. I just wished I had known about Cohort Tuition.

My son Connor attended Cohort Tuition in preparation for his 11+ exams. He loved his time there, his tutors made learning fun and really brought Connor along. Connor was fully prepared for his exams and he's achieved some great scores, we can't thank Cohort enough. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for tuition. Prices are also very reasonable
