Find out more about MagiKats Alloa

Boost your child’s confidence in maths, English and reasoning with our fun and interactive workshops. The MagiKats tutoring programme provides individual programmes and support for children and teenagers of all abilities, from pre-school to National 5.

Attending a workshop once per week, our students receive support from an appropriately qualified mentor as they work to improve their subject skills, thinking skills, study skills and problem solving. All our materials have been developed to support the UK National Curriculum and every student works to a level that is appropriate for them.

Additional practice in core skills is provided as homework, with individual programmes designed to fit in with other school and family commitments. MagiKats fits with and does not dominate a child’s weekly routine.

“Our programme is designed to suit your child at whatever stage you find they need that extra help.”

— Carol Ferguson, Principal

Individual tuition programmes

Whether your child needs more of a challenge, is struggling to keep up, or simply needs a boost, we can provide a programme to suit. With over 5 years’ experience in providing high quality tuition support our priority is to ensure every child has the opportunity to realise their full potential and we will work hard with every family to achieve that goal.

We are very child-centred, allowing each child to progress at their own pace. We believe that taking the time needed for a child to properly understand the work we cover is more important than covering a large quantity, although we do provide comprehensive support for the Curriculum for Excellence as well as an individually created work plan for each child.

Our priority is to ensure every child has the opportunity to realise their full potential and we will work hard with every family to achieve that goal.

The MagiKats approach to learning

Once enrolled, each child works with a suitably qualified and fully trained mentor in a small group limited to a maximum of six children. This approach allows the mentor to understand each child’s needs and monitor their progress very carefully. In the weekly workshops, the children will use a multi-sensory approach to their learning. We have several resources that encourage problem solving, analytical and thinking skills which helps to boost your child’s confidence and also encourages social skills by interacting with the other children in their group.

A small amount of carefully chosen homework is then set each week to fill gaps in knowledge and ability. The dual approach of workshops and homework has proven to work well amongst children enrolled within MagiKats.

Our Mentors

All our mentors are carefully selected, suitably qualified and fully trained under the MagiKats umbrella with a clear focus on the educational development of your child. They are fully DBS checked and have appropriate Safeguarding certification. Our mentors will become a trusted guide and advisor for your child with a clear objective of supporting your child to aspire to new heights and achieve their full potential.

Our Centre

Limetree House, situated a stone’s throw from the town centre, previously housed the council offices. The office is open Tuesday to Thursday 3pm to 6pm, but only by appointment when workshops are running.

Before enrolling your child with MagiKats we will invite you to attend for a placement visit. This is a perfect opportunity for parents and children to see around our centre. During the placement exercise, your child will answer questions that identify where their strengths lie and where they need help in maths and English. The outcome of the assessment and our discussion with you about goals will allow us to provide a tailored programme of work specifically for your child’s needs.
