English & Literacy Tuition
English tuition, both Language and Literature, is available at all levels, primary to secondary, whether you are looking for your child to receive a boost, focus on a particular literacy area, prepare for an examination or gain greater confidence and competence in a particular GCSE or A level specification. We are able to teach all examination specifications, e.g. WJEC, AQA, Edexcel.
Working with students, parents and school, we identify areas requiring intervention, personalising learning in a way that interests young people and meets their learning needs. We provide ongoing assessments of progress and regular feedback to build learner confidence, giving our tutees a clear focus on what they need to do to further improve.
Maths & Numeracy Tuition
We offer Maths & Numeracy tuition for students, aged 10-16, and adult learners up to Intermediate GCSE level. We are able to offer full coverage of number, algebra, statistics and geometry. We cover all examination specifications at GCSE, e.g. WJEC, Eduqas, AQA.
GCSE Film Studies
From September 2020, we offer a fully accredited qualification in GCSE Film Studies, administered by the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC).
This qualification is open to all learners above the age of 13 and may appeal to you, first and foremost, whatever your age, if you have a passion for film and want to gain recognition for academic study. It may also be of interest to school students if they have run out of option choices and still want to study film. Alternatively, it may be that you didn’t have the opportunity to follow a GCSE in Film Studies in school.
The qualification follow a theory and practice approach whereby learners study how others create film before producing their own portfolio of practical work.
A full overview of the GCSE course can be found here.
District-14 Youth Theatre
District-14 Youth Theatre was established in June 2016 when we started drama workshops from Gresford Trust Memorial Hall. Following our debut performance, an adaptation of John Wyndham’s novel, ‘The Chrysalids’, we moved to the atmospheric ROC2 Studios in Borras where we rehearsed our second major production, Lewis Carrolls’ ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ After two sell-out evenings at Tŷ Pawb in September 2018, we waved, with a heavy heart, goodbye to ROC2 Studios and said hello to weekly workshops in the performance space at Tŷ Pawb, Wrexham where we staged our third major production, ‘Brainstorm’ in June 2019. Located centrally, we are now in a position to attract many more young people than we were previously able to.
