Southern Enterprise Awards 2022

77 | Southern Enterprise Awards 2022 Aug22101 Best Primary-GCSE Tutoring Business - West London Chalk ‘n’ Duster was established in 2016 with the mission of teaching students from KS1 up to A Level. Beginning with only four team members and five students, it has since grown to 40-50 staff and nearly 300 students. Furthermore, the education provider has taught thousands of students over the years, with a commitment and service that is second to none. The company hires tutors who have a minimum of A grades in their GCSEs and A Levels, and who are experienced and well-trained, with devotion to giving every student the attention they need. The student can request a tutor if a specific topic needs to be taught, and they gain self-confidence over their tutorial period, capable of giving strong group presentations as well as gain measurable success. The tutors commit to providing feedback after each lesson, a regular detailed progress report, parent meetings, safeguarding, examination support, and much more. They are always there for students and are sure to give them peace of mind. They are dedicated to providing the very best customer service, customer experience, and company culture. Moreover, Chalk ‘n’ Duster’s fee structure, which is less than 40% compared to other similar businesses, is very affordable to many parents, with the promise of no compromise on the quality of education their children receive. At the time of admission, 50% of the parents come from different tuition centres. Most of the students and parents have been with Chalk ‘n’ Duster since they joined and they don’t go to other similar tuitions in the area. This gives the company true confidence in providing the best education, and its services are the best in the area. The team are experienced in working with university professors and students which makes them capable of providing specialised services that no other competitor can offer. Its resources are prepared by experts who have been in the industry for a very long time. This is combined with an atmosphere that is educationally supportive throughout the entire tutoring process, no matter the level the child is working at. The class sizes are kept small, too, in order to ensure resourceful learning is achieved. However, like every other education provider, in-person classes were put on hold during the pandemic. Students and educators across all levels of education were forced to rapidly adapt to online learning. The impact of this and the developments required to make it work did permanently change how education is delivered by Chalk ‘n’ Duster. Before the pandemic, the primary purpose of distance and online education was to provide access to instruction for those otherwise unable to participate in a traditional, in-person academic programme. As its purpose has shifted to supporting continuity of instruction, its audience, as well as the wider learning ecosystem, has changed. It will be interesting to see which aspects of emergency remote teaching remain in the next generation of education when the threat of COVID-19 is no longer a factor. But online education will undoubtedly find new audiences. And the flexibility and learning possibilities that have emerged from necessity are likely to shift the expectations of students and educators, diminishing further the line between classroombased instruction and virtual learning. Now, Chalk ‘n’ Duster is focused on the future where it expects sales to rise gradually. Moving forwards, the company will open three more branches in the next three years to provide education support to the community and produce more business revenue.
