The Pls Tutors

Who are PLS Tutors? We're a maths tuition firm looking to change the way in which tuition is done by making it much more personal and giving students all of the tools they need, all of the time. Our aim is to provide high quality, competent tuition that stimulates students and encourages them to reach their full potential. Our Philosophy Tuition in general is far too orientated around learning in the actual sessions, and students are often left wondering how to revise and where to get started when the session ends. But at PLS we believe students should have all the tools they need 24/7. That's why at PLS we aim to create a much more personal learning experience outside of our sessions too. Our Solution We created the PLS Learning Community. Suppose you're revising and you come across a challenging question. You don't know where to start. You spend lots of time searching the web for tutorials and pointers, but none of them are very effective. You then realise you're part of the 'PLS Learning Community'. You screenshot the question you're stuck on and send it into the Community Discord. One of our professional tutors responds, guaranteed, within four hours with a pointer on how to tackle the question and even an in-depth solution to see how the question should be tackled. You now don't have to endlessly search the web for answers. You now don't have to wait until your next maths lessons in a few days time to ask your teacher for help. That is how learning should be. All the tools you need at your disposal. All of the time. What We Offer Competent tuition both online and in-person from DBS checked tutors. An inclusive, high value community where students have all the tools they need at their disposal 24/7. High quality revision resources such as question packs and challenge papers that contain not only detailed handwritten worked solutions but also in-depth video walkthroughs to every question.

WEST is a small charity with a big aim: to inspire girls and women to study and work in non-traditional trades and careers like engineering.Wendy Miller “I was the first full-time female student to study engineering at Sheffield College. After employment as a draughtsperson and engineering project manager, I have worked in education since 2004. I am now Learning and Teaching Lead at the AMRC Training Centre, run by the University of Sheffield, which delivers Engineering Apprenticeships from Advanced to Degree Level. I joined WEST because I believe passionately that we need to actively change women’s perception of STEM careers – and men’s perception of women in engineering! There is a world of opportunity out there for young women and we are missing a lot of talent.” Pat Morton (Chair) Pat Morton (Chair) “I spent 20 years in the construction industry as a surveyor and another 20 years in Higher Education working in equality – particularly gender equality – in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) and built environment. When Ros Wall died we wanted to do something active to remember her. She was a real activist so we decided to set up WEST and support a cause dear to Ros’s heart.” Saj Parveen Saj Parveen “I undertook a foundation course in engineering at Sheffield College / Sheffield Hallam University, followed by a degree in engineering, and then a postgraduate certificate. I’m now a senior lecturer in mechanical design engineering. I love developing and inspiring the next generation of engineers and especially keen to see more women becoming engineers, which is why I got involved with WEST.”

Health Futures Utc

Wolverhampton

Our vision is to provide a broad, inclusive health and science curriculum, delivered to the highest standards in partnership with our employer partners. This will ensure that our learners receive personalised, practical experiences, offering opportunities that enrich their experience above and beyond that normally expected and enhancing their employability WE OFFER TOMORROW’S EDUCATION TODAY We’re excited and proud to be the first UTC in the UK to specialise in health care and health science, offering learning and career opportunities for young people like no other school or college in the region. By combining academic study with real-life work projects, personal development activities, and career opportunities our young people will become well-rounded work-ready individuals. They will benefit from a combination of qualified national curriculum teaching and putting their learning into practice in exciting, work-focused projects that are delivered in partnership with employer professionals. We’re able to deliver this ‘tomorrow’s education today’ concept through robust partnerships with major health, education and public sector organisations. This approach supports the development of academic, practical and life skills in our young people, equipping them to meet the demands from employers for good qualifications, transferable skills and a professional attitude to work – whatever career path they eventually choose. We believe that the UTC can provide a set of opportunities and qualifications that will provide an excellent foundation for students to enter the health and care professions. WHAT IS A UTC? University Technical Colleges (UTCs) are government-funded schools with a science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) focus. They provide a unique and relevant approach to education, which addresses the changing needs of students and employers in the 21st century. UTCs were established by companies and universities in areas of high demand for talent. Alongside national curriculum teaching, UTCs also offer sought-after vocational and technical qualifications, and benefit from industry-standard equipment and specialist staff to provide students with skills that are valued by employers. The UTC curriculum has a strong emphasis on ‘real life’ project-based learning, which engages students and develops their personal character. Because of this unique offer, UTCs allow for a broad choice of pathways when a student reaches 18 years old: university, higher or degree apprenticeships, or directly into a career.
