About Our Approach
- Scientifically-backed approach
- Tutors all have real-world experience, many who currently work in corporate positions in world’s top companies (e.g. KPMG, McKinsey, HSBC, etc.)
- Students have full access to lesson materials with clear guidance
- Balance between passing exams and preparing for a successful career
- All subjects are taught with real world examples (Maths taught by calculating cost of Taylor Swift concert; Independent schools entrance examination taught using holiday destination).
- Learning is personalised.
The Core Concepts of 360+ Learning
- Desirable difficulty: We do not ‘dumb down’ ideas. Instead we always begin with a difficult question and work together to unpack. Throwing students in at the deep end teaches them resilience and grit. They also learn how to overcome challenges and not give up easily. The longest road is always the shortest one (i.e. if you take a shortcut today, you will end up struggling in the long-run).
- Growth Mindset: At 360+ Learning we set regular tests so that students become more comfortable making mistakes, and then work with them to master their weaker topics. This approach takes the negativity out of learning, and in academic study, all that effort also leads to top grades.
- Learning formats: We match what we’re teaching to a format that will help students learn effectively. We’ll explain a physics concept through an animation, but focus on written mathematics when solving a physics problem.
- Gamification: We use elements of gamification in 360+ Learning such as point scoring, progress bars and rewards.
- Reflection and Calibration: 360+ Learning students are set XP goals and their progress is recorded on a chart they can view any time. They’re regularly assessed on each topic, so they can see what level they’re working at. Students also mark their own practice exams, so they can assess their own learning.
- The Pareto Principle
360+ Learning students are set XP goals and their progress is recorded on a chart they can view any time. They’re regularly assessed on each topic, so they can see what level they’re working at. Students also mark their own practice exams, so they can assess their own learning. - The Pareto principle focuses on using effective learning methods to supercharge the learning process. At 360+ Learning, students work smart, and then work hard. We make sure that our students receive the maximum effect for the amount of effort that they put in. We don’t waste time with repetitive exercises on topics our students have already mastered.
