Sohbet Society

London

Sohbet Society is a non-profit organisation (limited by guarantee company registration no.11613566) providing religious learning and spiritual activities for Muslims. Sohbet is a Turkish word and means ‘to talk, converse, discuss and engage with one another in a friendly, caring, warm and informal manner’. In our context, we use the word sohbet to mean to converse with one another in a study or discussion circle on the big questions of God, purpose, meaning, faith, religion, and society. Through Sohbet Society, we provide opportunity for religious learning and spiritual growth and development for Muslims in Britain. We achieve this through a series of activities including study groups, mentoring, outreach, retreats, excursions and social action. Religious and spiritual learning is achieved through semi-structured study groups as well as practical experiences such as social action and retreats. In all, we aim to offer a friendly, positive and constructive form of authentic religious expression and an environment for genuine spiritual experience that speaks both to the mind and heart, to the personal and social needs of the individual. We believe this nurtures a religious understanding and spiritual mindset that emphasises peaceful social relations and respect for human diversity and dignity. Sohbet Society is an active component of Hizmet, an Islamically inspired social movement that focuses on education, dialogue, and disaster and poverty relief work. It originated in Turkey in the 1970s based on the teachings and scholarship of Fethullah Gülen, an Islamic scholar and peace advocate. Today, Hizmet is active in over 160 countries worldwide. Like other social movements Hizmet includes formalised entities and organisations, but is largely based on informal networks and practices. The Sohbet Society is now formalising Hizmet’s pre-existing informal grass-roots religious activism in the UK in order to achieve greater visibility, transparency, professionalism, and structure so that we may be able to diversify the people who benefit from our services and to further develop our projects and services.

Kew Learning combines all the advantages of private tutoring with those of learning in a classroom environment. Many children struggle in large classes at school, as teachers are unable to meet the individual needs of 30+ students at any given time: some children are left to struggle through work they do not fully understand, while others may be bored and unstimulated by work they find too easy. At Kew Learning, by working with small groups, we can provide tailored, sensitive support and teaching according to the needs of your child, while also maintaining the focused, collaborative environment of a school classroom. Our lessons cover multiple fields, from curricular subjects like English and Maths from primary to secondary level, to extra-curricular activities such as Mandarin Chinese, Junior Computer Programming, Speech & Drama, Chess, Painting and tuition in Musical Instruments. Our courses are specially designed for different age groups, so you can rest assured that your child will receive the best support for their educational needs, as well as learning in a fun, stimulating environment. Inspiring Tutors At Kew Learning, the quality of our tutors is at the heart of what we do. All of our tutors are hand-picked for their experience and expertise in their given fields, so you can expect only the best teaching for your child. We look for tutors who have a genuine passion for their subjects, which they can instil and inspire in their students. All of our tutors are DBS checked and undergo a rigorous application process to ensure that they are driven, academically accomplished and, most importantly of all, inspiring teachers. Moreover, we ensure that our tutors are equipped with the best teaching resources, lesson plans and materials to ensure that your child learns according to a constructive and progressive scheme of work. This also allows us to assess and respond to each child’s individual needs and to gain a thorough understanding of how they learn, while providing parents with periodical academic reports so you can stay up to speed with your child’s progress. Exciting Learning Environment Children learn best when they are engaged, focussed and comfortable. Our Twickenham centre is a lively, friendly and well-equipped teaching environment, but most importantly it is a safe place where children can feel at home and develop a passion for learning. We’re confident that the moment you step into the centre, you’ll want to sign up for our classes, come see for yourself! A Culture Of Encouragement At Kew Learning we celebrate every child. Too often, schooling can focus on test results, league tables and assessment criteria. We recognise, however, that the best teaching is achieved by developing the confidence of the individual and ensuring that, for them, every learning experience is a positive experience. Certificates, stickers, reward boards and our prize cabinet are just some of the ways that we celebrate our students’ efforts and achievements. Furthermore, a great deal of research shows that rewarding children for persistence and thinking intuitively has a positive effect on their academic attainment. As such our reward system focusses not only on results, but also on the quality of thinking and the process of reaching those results. Frequent & Open Communication You know your child better than anyone. That’s why it’s important that you are involved every step of the way. Tutor’s written feedback after every session ensures you are always kept up to date with your child’s progress. What’s more, our monthly reports give you a thorough and comprehensive insight into your child’s work, areas where they may be struggling and their progress through the curriculum. We’re always available to discuss progress and answer questions, keeping you up to date curricular developments and offering parent information evenings on a whole range of topics.
