Critical Thinking Through Heritage & Skills Training
Beyond Tutoring: A Complete Approach to Academic Excellence
More Curricular goes beyond traditional tutoring to develop the skills students need for lifelong success.
Based in London, we combine essential skills training, critical thinking through heritage education and professional development for teachers—creating a complete ecosystem of educational excellence for students, families and schools across the capital.
Essential Skills Development
Master the foundational skills, like handwriting, academic writing and learning techniques, that unlock academic success. Our courses don't just help students catch up— they build confidence, independence and lifelong learning strategies that work across every subject. ✍️ Handwriting Clear, fluent handwriting that keeps pace with thinking. We improve letter formation, speed and presentation so writing becomes automatic, not a barrier to learning. Our evidence-based approach helps children at risk for DCD (dyspraxia) and supports students transitioning to secondary school. 📝 Writing Develop structured, coherent writing across all subjects. From sentence construction to essay planning, students learn to express ideas with clarity and confidence. We follow the UK government's writing framework to ensure pupils master this vital skill. 📚 Academic Prose Master the specialised techniques of academic writing. Students learn to construct arguments, cite evidence and write with the precision expected at GCSE, A-Level and beyond. 🎯 Study Skills Build effective strategies for revision, organisation, note-taking and exam technique. Learn how to learn—not just what to learn. Our workshops teach proven methods backed by neuroscience and memory research.
Walking Tours - Learning Beyond the Classroom
History isn't just dates and dead monarchs. Our London heritage walks transform the capital's streets into a living classroom where students develop critical thinking by questioning narratives, analysing evidence and hearing voices often left out of textbooks.
For Schools & Families:
Book educational heritage walks designed to develop analytical thinking and historical understanding. Curriculum-linked, engaging and transformative—perfect for Tudor history studies, Black History Month or enriching your school's diversity curriculum.
For Tourists & General Public:
Visit our specialised heritage walk websites:
→ Hidden Tudors Tours - Uncover Tudor London's marginalised voices
→ Notting Hill Walks - Explore Caribbean heritage and Carnival history
What Makes Our Educational Walks Different: 🚶 Interactive Learning Students don't just listen—they engage directly with historical sites in locations like Notting Hill, the City of London and beyond. They examine evidence and construct their own understanding through guided exploration. 💬 Vocabulary Enhancement Build subject-specific historical terminology naturally through exploration and context, not memorisation. Students learn Tudor-era language or Caribbean heritage terms in meaningful settings. 🧠 Critical Thinking Development Question competing narratives. Analyse whose voices are heard and whose are silenced. Develop the analytical skills that transfer across all subjects—from history to science to English literature. 👥 Tailored Educational Experiences Whether you're a London primary school group, secondary students studying specific historical periods or families wanting meaningful educational experiences during school holidays—we design walks that match your learning goals.
