SEA & CSEC Tutoring for Caribbean Students
Online and Face-to-Face Instruction
How Think-Top Tutors Works
Think-Top Tutors provides structured, small-group tutoring for SEA and CSEC students. Our programmes are designed for families who value consistency, strong academic foundations, and steady academic progress over time.
​
Students may attend online classes or face-to-face sessions in Trinidad and Tobago, depending on availability and suitability. All instruction is assessment-led and aligned with official SEA and CSEC requirements, with an emphasis on literacy, critical thinking, and exam readiness.
We work with students in Trinidad and Tobago, across the wider Caribbean, and internationally through online instruction.

What is Think-Top Tutors?
Think-Top Tutors is an educational institute that offers online SEA and CSEC exam preparation through small classes, continuous assessment, and targeted instruction. Our approach prioritizes skill development, confidence, and long-term academic readiness rather than short-term cramming.

How are classes delivered?
Think-Top Tutors delivers classes through both online and in-person formats, depending on the programme and subject. Classes are intentionally kept small to allow for observation, interaction, and individual feedback. Feedback is provided on an ongoing basis through classwork, assignments, and direct communication when intervention or adjustment is needed.
Online Classes
Online classes are delivered using:
-
Google Meet for live, interactive lessons
-
Google Classroom for materials, assignments, feedback, and progress tracking
This allows students to:
-
Attend lessons from anywhere in Trinidad and Tobago
-
Access notes and assignments in one organised space
-
Receive written feedback and follow-up support
Online delivery is used for most SEA and CSEC academic classes.
In-Person Classes and Clinics
Think-Top Tutors also offers in-person classes and clinics at our physical classroom space.
In-person sessions are primarily used for:
-
Reading classes
-
Reading diagnostics

Reading intervention clinics
-
Small targeted academic clinics where close observation is required
These sessions allow for:
-
Direct assessment of reading, decoding, and fluency
-
Immediate corrective feedback

Structured, hands-on instruction in a small setting
What is the difference between Reading Classes and the Reading Clinic?
Reading Classes
Reading classes provide ongoing support to build:
-
Phonics and decoding skills
-
Reading fluency
-
Vocabulary development
-
Comprehension strategies
These are suitable for students who need consistent literacy support over time.
​
Reading Clinics
The Reading Clinic is a short-term, intensive intervention programme that begins with a diagnostic assessment and targets specific reading gaps. Clinics are structured, time-bound, and highly focused.
How are students placed into classes or clinics?
Student placement at Think-Top Tutors is intentional and needs-based, not automatic.
Placement is determined using:
-
Diagnostic assessments, particularly for reading and literacy support
-
Observed skill gaps identified during assessment or early instruction
-
Age and academic level
-
Programme goals discussed with parents
This process ensures students receive appropriate, targeted support, rather than a one-size-fits-all placement.
Why this structure matters
Using both online and in-person delivery, as well as differentiated programmes, allows Think-Top Tutors to:
-
Match the teaching method to the student’s learning need
-
Provide flexibility for families
-
Maintain high instructional standards
-
Deliver targeted literacy intervention where it is most effective
Important note for parents
Not all programmes are offered in both formats. Delivery mode, schedule, and placement are discussed during consultation or registration to ensure the best fit for each student.

Parents interested in enrolling are encouraged to complete the registration form or request a consultation to determine the most appropriate programme and placement.
