Education in Action

Education in Action Inspirational, informative and educational events for A-Level, GCSE and KS3 students. Follow us on Twitter

TTP was founded in the early 1990s by teachers who wanted to provide students with greater stimulus, motivation and encouragement to continue their studies with enthusiasm and achieve the highest academic qualifications to prepare them for their future careers. By following this original philosophy we have now become the leading educational industry provider of educational study days. From Art and English to Mathematics and Science we offer the widest range of subjects at A/AS, IB, BTEC and GCSE level. The content of our educational study days is deliberately designed to take students beyond their classroom experience, complementing, enriching and extending their knowledge whilst demonstrating the future potential of pursuing their chosen subject. Our gifted, award winning, inspirational speakers have included poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy, broadcaster and intrepid explorer Michael Palin and author and broadcaster Simon Singh. They are drawn from academia, industry and the media and are selected as much for their intellectual contribution as their ability to deliver memorable, thought-provoking presentations. Students are enthralled and leave the TTP study days inspired and motivated. Our study days, modestly priced to offer access to all, are held at prestigious academic venues in Central London and Coventry (Warwick University) to enrich the students’ experience.
