Welcome to Explore Learning Murrayfield!

 
Explore Learning Murrayfield was the second centre to open in Edinburgh. We welcomed our first members in December 2007 and since then over 260 children have gained new skills, confidence and enthusiasm for maths and English. Based in the Sainsbury's on Westfield Road and Gorgie Road, Explore Learning managers and tutors work with children and parents to help them achieve their potential. This is done by building great bonds with each member and making the work personal to each individual.

"We considered tutors for our three boys but were put off by the formality and school like atmosphere.  In the first three months since joining Explore our children have progressed by up to half a school year in both literacy and maths.  The children positively look forward to attending sessions, the tutors make learning fun and we struggle to get them to leave!"
Tim and Maria Kirkham, Explore parents 
 
 

 
 What our parents say...
 
"The extra work out of school hours has really boosted their confidence with their work. They have also 'explored' different ways of learning! The tutors are friendly, helpful and not only to the kids!"
Isla Menzies, Murrayfield parent
 
"All the tutors are extremely professional and so very friendly. All the staff have a way of making each individual child feel they are the special one. Emma remembers more information because of the patience and attention which she always receives."
Mrs Randall, Murrayfield parent

Additional Courses 
 
Explore Writing, Wednesday 7pm - 8pm 
Explore Writing is a fantastic creative writing course for children aged 8+. This course is designed to stretch budding young authors as well as encouraging more reluctant writers. Children are taught a variety of writing techniques by our enthusiastic tutors and are encouraged to enjoy exploring their creative sides.

Succeed in Secondary, Tuesday 7pm - 8pm 
Succeed in Secondary invites members in Primary 7 and above to engage in topical debates, learn vital presentational skills and develop a mature attitude to learning. Each project is aimed at developing expertise to ease the transition from primary to secondary. 
  
Open Sessions 
  
Open Sessions are a fantastic way for our parents to learn more about their child's course. Parents are invited to attend a session and work through a course while being tutored by their child. This gives the children a great confidence boost as they can show their parents examples of their progress with Explore Learning.

  • Wednesday 10th Feb                7pm-8pm     
  • Tuesday 30th March                  7pm - 8pm

  • South Morningside
  • Balgreen

Victoria Mackay, Balgreen Primary teacher
 
If you are a teacher in the local area and would like more information on our free workshops, please contact a manager on 0131 3377401. We are also keen to build links with local secondary schools.

What our members and teachers have said about Explore

"Perfect! They loved it! A great stimulus! Very creative and just a bit different."
Sonja Fair, South Morningside Primary teacher
"Children all enjoyed the workshop and seemed to work well really well together to find answers. They were enthusiastic about the tasks."
J. Mears, Juniper Green teacher
"All the tutors are extremely professional and so very friendly. All the staff have a way of making each individual child feel they are the special one. Emma remembers more information because of the patience and attention which she always receives."
Mrs Randall, Murrayfield parent
"You get helped in a way you understand, my maths has improved which has not only helped my maths but has helped my physics too. It boosts me up in other subjects. Before I wouldn't ask for help, I would feel scared because I don't want to feel stupid. Now I will ask because I feel more confident. It's great becausethe Explore sessions fit around my life."
Chanelle, 15, Murrayfield member
