Step Ahead Tutoring and Educational Services
Valerie met with George, Malcolm and Jennifer Hawkins of Step Ahead Tutoring and Educational Services on Friday 12th March. Step Ahead is one of the largest providers of tuition in Edinburgh, the Central Belt and Fife. Step Ahead has been established for a number of years and has built up a significant reputation. Valerie was very impressed by the attitude of Step Ahead as it is an agency which puts the safety of its pupils as its top priority and matches tutors to each individual pupil's needs. Step Ahead is a forward-thinking business looking to develop what it has done in other areas through franchises. Valerie is very much looking forward to working in close co-operation with Step Ahead to share our best practice with one another. I would encourage all Tutors' Alliance tutors to have a look on their website - www.stepaheadtuition.com. We look forward to updating you on further developments between our two ventures in the near future.
