About us

A bit of background as to how we established ourselves as the go-to tutoring service in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and West London.

How we came about


"We're life long learners that began tutoring in Berkshire whilst studying for our Bachelors of Science degrees. Having taught ourselves how to learn effectively we became passionate about the idea of approaching education in a more engaging way.

Word spread and as demand grew for quality tutors the team decided to expand, bringing on fresh, qualified talent and partnering with local schools to provide great educational facilities.

We've had hundreds of students go through our tutoring over the last decade and it's rewarding to see the impact we can have."

- Zayn, Seiar and Ali (Founders of Ad Astra) 

See our journey below.

Started 2008:

Talent is hard to find. We started as an agency, sourcing quality tutors and pairing them to students across Berkshire.

2011:

A big year for us! We launched our first tuition centre. We had an influx of students and began bringing on new talent to support.

2015:

Local schools needed more after school support and we began partnering programmes which supported over 1,000 students to date.

2018:

Now in multiple locations in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Greater London we're expanding our services, our locations and we're excited to see how much more we can do.

How we do it

Our approach to learning is based on three principles: Adapt, Instill and Expand.

Adapt

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

Instil

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

Expand

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

1. Adapt

We assess each learner to establish their current academic level and adapt to their needs to support them the best way possible.

2. instilL

We create learning environments that promote a culture of participation, which instills confidence and increases classroom engagement.

3. expand

Consistency is key to learning, with weekly or daily support available for each learner we work with you to reach your goals.

It’s great when students leave happy. It means they have taken something away with them.

SEIAR ASLAMI

We always ensure we have the right balance between practice and teaching.

Ali Emad

It’s good to know that ten years later we are still relevant and still producing good quality teaching materials.

Alberta Moreton

Ensuring we are systematic in how we deliver our lessons allows students to fill in any gaps in their understanding.

Still being at university and teaching with Ad Astra means I am able to relate to the students and work with them.

Maths and Physics

Small class sizes and focused resources have been pushing our GCSE students to achieve great grades.

I thoroughly enjoy studying poetry with our students. Breaking down what is being said allows for greater understanding when analysing.

Early Years

Helping younger students grasp concepts and watching them develop is so satisfying. Ad Astra provided such a positive environment.

Instilling the students with foundational methods and understanding will stay with them forever. I love that about teaching.
