Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose us? All our tutors are highly qualified and experienced teachers. They hold relevant degrees and certifications in their respective subjects and possess a deep understanding of the curriculum. We are passionate about helping students achieve their potential with high challenge and high levels of support.
Why do I need a tutor? Tutoring is different to teaching. Teachers focus on the curriculum and work at the pace of the whole class; tutors focus on the child and work at their pace. With our small groups, our teachers are able to combine both roles, sharing curriculum knowledge and tailoring it to the individual.
There are a variety of reasons why a student would benefit from tuition. The most common are:
They are lacking in confidence and find that our tutors can help them work on self-belief and motivation.
They have gaps in knowledge
Small group tuition means that they can get live, personalised feedback immediately and they aren’t ‘lost’ in a class of 30 students.
Our tutors can help them to organise their revision and show them how to study and which areas to focus on to get the best results.
What subjects do you offer tuition for? We are specialists in English (both language and literature) and History. If you are looking for other subjects, do let us know as we are happy to recommend people we know and trust.
What age groups do you cater to? We provide tuition for students of all age groups, from primary school to secondary school and even university students. Our tutors are skilled at adapting their teaching methods to suit the age and learning style of each student.
Do you offer one-on-one tutoring or group classes? We offer both one-on-one tutoring and group classes, depending on the preference and needs of the student. Most students find that small group classes more beneficial than 1-2-1 learning as they are able to benefit from collaborating with other students. We group at the point of need and by ability, not by age.
How do you assess the progress of students? We believe in regular assessments to track the progress of our students. Our tutors use a variety of methods, including tests, quizzes, assignments and live feedback to evaluate a student's understanding and provide targeted support.
Can you help with exam preparation and study skills? Yes, absolutely! Exam preparation is one of our key focuses. Our tutors are well-versed in exam formats and requirements, and they provide guidance on exam techniques, time management, and effective study skills. We equip our students with the tools and strategies they need to excel in their exams.
How do I enrol my child? Get in touch and we will guide you through the enrollment process and provide all the necessary information regarding fees, schedules, and the subjects we offer. Our goal is to make the enrollment process as smooth as possible for you.
What are your fees and payment options? Our fees vary based on the subject, level, and type of tuition. We offer competitive pricing while ensuring the highest quality of teaching.
Do you offer face to face tuition? All our tuition is online. Many students were turned off online learning during lockdown when they were in large classes with cameras turned off and nobody checking on their learning. Our teachers are skilled in facilitating online classes. Students are encouraged to keep their cameras on and use OneNote or Google Classrooms so we can see their work in real-time. They can refer back to their work whenever they want and it’s easy for parents to check their learning. If you’re unsure about online learning, try it with us and we think you will soon be converted!
What resources does my child need? All they need is a computer and a decent Wi-Fi connection. We will do the rest!
