Online tutoring

Online tutoring in London and across England

Live, expert-led lessons for primary and secondary children, taught online by The Children's Education Centre (TCEC).

In short

What is The Children's Education Centre?

The Children's Education Centre, known as TCEC, is an online tutoring provider founded in 2007 in Hackney, London. Over 10,000 students have learned with us, from primary school through to GCSE. Since moving fully online in 2020, we teach children in London and across England through live lessons, a personalised learning portal and weekly progress updates for parents.

We start by finding exactly where a child is, then fill the gaps one topic at a time, so they can say "I can do this now".

How it works

How online tutoring works at TCEC

  1. A short assessment. Every child completes a diagnostic before their first lesson so we know where to start.
  2. Live lessons. One-hour lessons each week, taught live online by an expert tutor. Higher tiers add more hours each week.
  3. A personal learning portal. Homework, resources and progress tracking in one place for every enrolled student.
  4. Weekly updates for parents. A clear report on topics, homework and attendance, so you always know how your child is getting on.
