If you ever find yourself in the Kidspace at The Colonnades in Croydon, you may come across a small part of the building on the 1st floor, humbly anticipating young eager minds ready to learn. This is Studybox Croydon, one of the branches of the acclaimed Studybox Tuition. Inside awaits  a charming and vivid room, set to accommodate children between the ages of 5-16, who come to develop their skills in Maths, English and Science. 

I spoke to the Assistant Manager at Studybox Croydon, Senthan Sivasangar, whose role includes booking lessons with parents, organizing tutors and tutoring the children. Studybox prides themselves in being able to utilize different resources to their advantage. In Senthan’s words, they “use computer programmes and worksheets to develop the children’s academic skills.” Indeed, if you were to walk into Studybox Croydon, you would notice a row of computers sitting along the tables. Clearly, the importance of making use of technological resources is not lost on the tutors or management here. 

Working with children is a large responsibility. However, Studybox handles this responsibility with compassion and intelligence. On this topic, Senthan said, “We have to be understanding of their needs and give them space to be comfortable and confident with their work.” Also invaluable in this line of work is the staff’s devotion to their jobs. Senthan stated that the most gratifying elements of working at Studybox are "making a difference to children's lives and making the parents feel more comfortable with their children's education."

Overall, Studybox Croydon has a quaint allure, bound to appease parents and children alike. Aided by enthusiastic tutors and competent management, Studybox Croydon creates a cheerful and productive learning environment, conducive to the development of the students’ academic skills.
