Rochester Tutors Independent College is situated in the historic City of Rochester upon Medway and specialises in GCSEs, A and AS levels and preparation for Oxbridge entrance. The College is a highly professional organisation which is registered by the DfEE, accredited by BAC and a member of CIFE.
As well as the usual wide range of subjects, the College offers specialist courses for students wishing to gain entrance to Medical and Veterinary Science, an Art Pre-foundation course, intensive Easter revision courses, EFL and Secretarial courses. A level Film, Media, Theatre Studies and Photography give students an ideal opportunity to explore the growing world of creative arts. Tuition is conducted in very small groups, averaging five students, so a great deal of individual attention is always given. The staff are highly qualified and experienced in teaching both conventional and intensive courses since all major subjects are offered either as retakes or for the first time. It is possible for students to combine GCSE retakes with starting their A level course, thus saving up to a year. Students coming to the College can be assured of excellent teaching in an informal and friendly environment and of being well prepared (through compulsory weekly tests) for their examinations. Extra help outside class is always freely available and extensive guidance is given for university entrance as well as for more vocationally based careers.
Facilities include four fully equipped science and computing laboratories, two well stocked libraries, a careers library, two art studios, a large dark room, a student common room and a non-profit making student refectory as well as numerous classrooms. All exams are taken on the College premises, including science practicals.
The College has its own supervised halls of residence which adjoin the main teaching buildings. Accommodation is provided in twin and single rooms with either full-board or self-catering facilities.
The College is easily accessible being only 40 minutes by train from central London. The M2 and M20 motorways are within easy reach as is Gatwick Airport, the Channel Tunnel and Ashford International Station. College minibus services are also run from selected major towns in Kent subject to demand.
