As former teachers, we emphasise that school homework must come first. However we have seen over the last few years how effective regular use of Century Tech is at reinforcing key skills and identifying areas where pupils may need additional support.
What is CENTURY Tech?
CENTURY is an online learning platform that combines artificial intelligence with the latest research in learning science and neuroscience. It creates personalised learning pathways for each pupil, adapting to their individual needs and helping to identify gaps in knowledge and address misconceptions.
How do we use CENTURY at Tutorsquared?
We use CENTURY to set homework that complements our Saturday lessons and consolidates learning.
The work we assign is tailored to the needs of each year group:
Year 4: Pupils are set homework in English and Maths to strengthen their understanding and build confidence in core skills.
Year 5: Homework expands to include English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning (VR) and Non-Verbal Reasoning (NVR), helping pupils develop a broader range of skills.
Year 6: Pupils focus on completing past papers to help them practise exam-style questions, develop their exam technique and prepare for their upcoming assessments. At this stage we recommend Atom Learning for its bank of assessment material.
In addition to the “nuggets” assigned by us we would advise that your child take full advantage of the online platform; by looking at the slides and videos and completing extra work on their “Recommended Path”.
