What does ZPD stand for?

​

The “Zone of Proximal Development” is a foundational concept in education, emphasising the importance of tailored support and collaboration in learning.

​

It is the gap between what a child can do independently and what they can achieve with someone more skilled guiding them. Think of it as a dynamic zone, constantly shifting as the child masters new skills and the scaffolding adjusts to offer just the right amount of challenge. The goal isn't to do everything for the child, but to empower them to take over as they become more confident and capable.

Why should I choose ZPD Tutoring for my child?

​

While other commercial and private tutoring services tend to focus on explaining the concepts and attaining good short-term academic achievement, ZPD tutoring equips students with the skills and strategies that they need to succeed both in school and beyond.

​

The other advantage that we offer are discounted small group sessions, which are proven to be more effective as a learning environment. Students benefit from learning from each other as well as having the opportunity to teach each other.
