Read The Question
Enabling students to reach their potential
through tailored tutoring since 2000
“I loved going to Read The Question, and my confidence improved so much in my maths . They are really nice people who are so helpful & so understanding of whatever level you work at.”
Research shows that children perform significantly better when they’re tutored one-to-one for their education, compared to students who are tutored in a traditional classroom setting. (Bloom, B; 1984)
Who we are…
Read The Question has been providing top quality, tailored tutoring in Hebden Bridge for 20 years.
We give our students the tools and support they need to achieve their potential in all areas of their lives; not just academically, but socially and personally too.
Since establishing in 2000, our students have achieved very high pass rates for their 11 plus exams, and every Read The Question student has passed their GCSE maths first time. In the last 2 years, 18 of our Read The Question students have gone to Oxbridge.
What we provide…
We provide lessons for students of all ages, from reception, to university and beyond, specialising in the 11 plus exam, GCSE and A-Level courses.
We provide children from all backgrounds and of all abilities with a ‘safe space’, where they are able to enjoy learning and endeavour to be the best they can be.
Why choose us..?
We help all of our students, regardless of their personal circumstances, reach their potential.
That’s because we don’t have a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Instead, we tailor our teaching for each individual student. We see our students as whole people: we go beyond just academic achievement, and aim to build confidence and self-esteem in each of them.
How we enable our students to reach their potential…
Knowing every student is the key to our success.
Individual, personal focus is at the heart of Read The Question and deeply influences the distinctive character of our community.
Tutors work with small numbers of students, enabling them to really get to know each of them, their goals and their family. Every student has a sympathetic mentor, with whom they can share interests and voice any concerns, confident that they will receive support from someone who knows them well.
We seek to create an environment in which every student feels valued as an individual, and is challenged to fulfil their potential, whatever their talents, attributes and personal goals.
Where we are based…
Read The Question is based in the centre of Hebden Bridge, Calderdale.
We are very proud to be part of our local community here in Hebden, and as part of this, our founder, Joanne Austin, established our sister programme, ATQ.
Our programme gives local children from disadvantaged backgrounds access to our tutoring service, thanks to help from local families, businesses and trusts.
