At the Alpha Study Centre we aim to provide a comfortable learning environment where our students can achieve their full potential.
Since 2010 we have been providing high-quality tuition in a range of areas, including preparation for 11+ exams. We started small, but thanks to the trust and encouragement of our parents, the hard work of our students and teachers, and the excellent academic achievements of our students, we have been able to grow far beyond our expectations.
While teaching is not easy, we believe in three vital elements of teaching – the zeal of the parents, the child’s will, and the instruction of a good teacher. It is a great pleasure for us to see the happiness of children as we help them improve and succeed in their ambitions.
We will continue to work faithfully as we strive to become the best tutoring centre we can be, leading and teaching our children in close co-operation with their parents, and as we seek to help our children fulfil their dreams and hopes for their future.
Testimonials
"My daughter joined the weekly English and Maths lessons since year 5 and then joined the holiday intensive camps. Alpha has taught her in all four core subjects as well as the interviews. She got in Guildford High with the academic scholarship! I can not thank the Alpha enough. The NVR/VR was taught in such a fun way and my daughter loves it so much. She was definitely stretched on maths in both of the difficulty level and the speed. The English Comprehension and Writing also improve her a lot. The tailor-made one to one lessons covered all the aspects and has taught her how to answer the questions that will show her strengths.
Alpha is very reasonably priced and the teachers are really friendly and approachable. I have signed up my daughter for year 7 science after her 11+ exam. She is also enjoying it very much at the moment. I can’t wait for my son who is year 1 to start. THANK YOU Alpha!"

"We would like to say a huge 'THANK YOU' to Phil and his team at the Alpha Study Centre for preparing our son for his 11 plus exams. He has enjoyed going to Alpha since day one. The courses are fun and very well structured. The teachers are highly qualified, very knowledgeable, and are experts in equipping children with the required skills and mindset to succeed in the demanding exams.
Throughout the course, we witnessed our son flourish with confidence and were overjoyed to receive offers from every school we applied to, including Tiffins and scholarship awards from some top independent schools. THANK YOU Alpha, our son certainly couldn't have achieved this without you!!"
Monica, Mum of Y6 pupil
"My daughter is a quite slow learner and was always in the middle group in a public school. Alpha is the first and the only learning centre she has even been to. She started weekly tuition from the very beginning of year 5 and surprisingly enjoyed their way of teaching - nice, gentle but inspiring. She did work very hard in such environment and got very fast boosting in her English and Maths in just one year.
She passed all her 11+ exams which we applied and successfully got offers from Kingston Grammar, LEH and Tiffin. The results really exceeded our expectation. I do believe Alpha centre could help more children in their academic performance in a joyful way."

"Thank you for the support provided to my son over the past year. I am sure that it made a valuable contribution to his success in getting a place at Tiffin, Westminster and City of London."

"Thank you for all the great help you gave me with all my subjects. You were a big support for my 11+. Phil, you helped me a lot with Verbal Reasoning. Joy, you helped me with your writing tips. Do you remember when I got full marks in Kris’ writing class after the Monday class with you? That did me a lot of good. My mum was bit upset because I didn’t get enough good marks before. But Kris and my mum were both very happy about my full marks.
Also, my verbal reasoning skills have risen about a whole head. I need to thank you for letting me have lessons at Alpha Study Centre. It made things very different and much easier at my school. Again, thank you for the all the support. You two are the best tutors I’ve ever met, and I wish you the best for the future."
