For many parents, preparing their child for competitive exams such as the 11 Plus can feel like navigating a maze of worksheets, mock tests, and fragmented resources. A decade ago, Anuradha and Nishikant Kothikar found themselves in exactly that position. 

Their search for a structured, concept-based learning framework inspired the creation of Champs Learning, an organisation that has since become a trailblazer in the UK’s education landscape.

Established in 2013, Champs Learning began as a personal mission to help a small group of pupils approach learning more systematically. What started in living rooms soon grew into a thriving education platform that now serves families across the country.

Over the past ten years, the organisation has developed a reputation for reshaping how young people learn and how parents engage with their progress — offering a model that is as transparent as it is transformative.

At the heart of Champs Learning’s philosophy lies the Concept–Application–Practice (CAP) cycle. Rather than focusing on rote memorisation, the CAP approach ensures that students first grasp the concept, then apply it, and finally consolidate it through structured practice. Each month, learners spend four weeks mastering topics, followed by two practice tests and a comprehensive assessment in the fifth week. 

This consistent rhythm builds confidence while allowing parents to track progress through a dedicated online portal showing performance graphs, test results, and teacher feedback.

A defining strength of Champs Learning is its commitment to creating original educational content. Covering Year 2 to A-level, the institution produces textbooks, structured modules, and concept-based videos — ensuring consistency and quality throughout a child’s academic journey.
Parents often express relief knowing their children follow a coherent pathway rather than piecemeal resources gathered from multiple sources. Each material is crafted to make learning smoother and more purposeful, helping students become not just exam-ready but genuinely confident thinkers.

One of Champs Learning’s most celebrated programmes is rooted in Classic English Literature that forms a cornerstone of the curriculum. Each academic year, students study eight classic works of English literature, supported by guided discussions, vocabulary building, and creative writing tasks.
Parents have noticed a remarkable transformation: children who once resisted reading now look forward to story time and literary debate. For pupils seeking deeper engagement, Champs Learning offers advanced courses in Creative Writing and Reading Comprehension, nurturing imagination, empathy, and self-expression.

A further differentiator is the centre’s acclaimed POWER Vocabulary Module, which uses visual retention techniques to help children master over 1,500 words spread across eight modules. Each unit includes more than 120 sessions and dedicated assessments to reinforce retention and contextual understanding.

Alongside language, the focus on numeracy  remains strong. Innovative Mental Maths workshops, featuring props, games, and exercises on BIDMAS, cubes, and cube nets — have become a hallmark of Champs Learning’s creative approach to analytical development.

As students transition to secondary school, Champs Learning’s methodology evolves with them. Its GCSE programmes are tailored to each examination board and include comprehensive support for English Literature, spanning modern prose, drama, and poetry clusters.

By combining exam-specific insight with conceptual rigour, the institution ensures that learners are not simply chasing grades but building intellectual foundations that carry into higher education.

Technology plays a central role in the learning experience. Champs Learning operates separate online portals for parents and students, offering real-time updates, resources, and transparent communication.
Equally vital is the teaching team itself — a group of passionate subject specialists, many of whom have been part of the organisation since its inception. Their long-standing commitment allows Champs Learning to cater for a wide spectrum of abilities, including pupils with mild to moderate learning needs. Parents consistently cite the warmth and dedication of these teachers as a key reason for their children’s confidence and enthusiasm.

The impact of Champs Learning extends far beyond the classroom. Parents describe a visible change in family dynamics: homework becomes a shared experience rather than a struggle; reading turns into quality time; and maths transforms from anxiety to enjoyment.

This cultural shift, where children feel empowered and parents feel reassured, embodies the very purpose on which the organisation was founded.

Ten years after its creation, Champs Learning continues to grow while staying true to its mission: to create learning experiences that go beyond examinations and equip children with skills for life.

In an education landscape often dominated by results, Champs Learning stands apart — championing curiosity, resilience, creativity, and confidence as the real hallmarks of success.
