Student Support

GENERAL INFORMATION

ONE-TO-ONE AND SMALL GROUP TUITION Many classes can be tailor-made on either a one-to-one basis at the Institute or, depending on the type of class, at your home. These sessions, lasting either 1 or 1½ hours, are particularly suitable for students preparing to sit GCSE, AS and A2 exams. From £39 per hour. Small group tuitions up to a maximum of 6 students are also available at a discounted price. For more information please contact 020 8829 4141.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT The Institute welcomes applications from students who have a disability or learning difficulty. If you have any additional support needs which may affect your learning, please complete and sign section 5 of the enrolment form. Alternatively you can contact Frank Keane, our Student Support Officer at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call him on 020 8829 4141. Our main site in East Finchley and our Arts Centre both have lifts, but unfortunately this does not apply to all the buildings we use. We can often assist, however, for example by relocating a class to the ground floor, or accommodating helpers or guide dogs in classes. We cannot accept responsibility for an unsuitable venue, course or equipment if you choose not to disclose your special requirements. Please inform your teacher and/or the Institute Office of any medical condition (eg epilepsy) which may affect you in class. Such information will be treated as strictly confidential.

LEARNING SUPPORT The Institute is committed to helping students to succeed. If you wish we can provide support with number skills, writing skills, study skills and English language skills. If you find you need extra learning support during your course, please let your teacher, head of department or Frank Keane (020 8829 4141) know, and we will do our best to help. If you are on an accredited course you may be eligible for additional support funding from the Learning and Skills Council.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES MONITORING We are committed to promoting equal opportunities in all areas of our organisation from the recruitment and employment of our staff to our services to our students. We seek to provide an environment in which all individuals are encouraged to achieve their maximum potential and suffer no discrimination whatsoever on the grounds of race, gender, religious or political belief, sexual orientation, age, colour, marital status or disability. We are required to monitor the ethnic origins of our users to help to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the whole community. Would you please, therefore, complete the box on the enrolment form as appropriate. Thank you for your co-operation.

STUDENT ABSENCES Please note that if you do not attend your class for 3 consecutive weeks without notifying us of the reasons for your absence, you are liable to be withdrawn from the course, and your place may be offered to a new student.

WAITING LISTS FOR COURSES If the course you want is full, you can ask to be put on a waiting list. You will then be informed if a place becomes available. Please note, however, that you will only be held on a waiting list until the end of the term in which you apply.

LOSS OF AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY The Institute does not accept liability for the loss of or damage to property or clothing sustained by students in any premises used by the Institute.
