Young people have a lot
to think about
The Newsroom is a safe place
to talk and learn.
What We Do
The Newsroom is a modern tutoring service that is uniquely designed around you.
Aimed at 13 - 18 year olds who want a deeper understanding of the world, it bridges the gap between school and the modern world.
The Newsroom offers one-on-one tutoring as well as opportunities for group discussion and debate, focusing on Politics, Economics, History, Religion and Media.
Importantly, we have conversations about the world that move beyond the school curriculum into real world context, allowing for nuance and perspective.
We help young people prepare for exams, university applications and entering the working world.
Our larger aim is to help you develop critical thinking skills, and kindle self-motivated, life-long learning.

The Montessori Approach

Montessori education prioritises cradling and supporting an intellectual curiosity that lasts well beyond school into adult life.
For those who have heard of Montessori education, it is almost always associated with nursery and very young children. So it might be surprising that there are schools, guides and tutors who use this philosophy and approach all the way through to when students take A-Levels, move on to university or enter the working world.
This approach to education means re-imagining the rigid standardisation of many traditional schools. Working with teenagers using Montessori principles involves observing the unique characteristics, tendencies, natural talents, and abilities of each young person, then adjusting a program of work from there.
Teenagers have innate curiosity and working with a Montessori guide, they can be supported to pursue an active interest in world events, economics, history, politics... anything.
Offering you, the student, a range of options for what to explore, and being guided by your choices and preferences, we plot a path through subjects in ways that is co-created specifically by and for you. This way of learning sparks a different level of curiosity, debate and deeper learning.
