Frequently asked questions.
-
What is Private Tutoring?Private tutoring is a personalised learning experience where a tutor works one-on-one with a student to help them understand specific subjects or skills. In private tutoring, lessons are tailored to the student's individual learning style, pace, and areas of difficulty, ensuring that they get targeted support to improve their understanding and performance in a particular subject, such as mathematics.
-
How are lessons conducted?Lessons are conducted online via Zoom, where both the screen share and microphones are kept on throughout the session. This setup ensures clear communication and allows the tutor to walk students through problems step by step, while students can ask questions in real time. The interactive features, such as virtual whiteboards, further enhance the learning experience, making each session engaging and productive.
-
Do I have to commit to a certain number of lessons?No, if you opt for the 'pay-as-you-go' option individual lessons do not require a specific commitment. However, if you opt for the 10-hour package, you will need to complete those 10 hours. The package is flexible and can be structured according to your preferences, allowing you to schedule sessions at times that suit you best. If any hours remain unused by the end of the term or year, they can roll over to the next term or academic year, ensuring you get the full value from your package.

How different is online compared to face-to-face?Online tutoring offers similar benefits to face-to-face learning, with the added advantages of convenience and flexibility. Sessions are conducted via Zoom, using tools like screen sharing, virtual whiteboards, and active microphones for an interactive experience. Unlike in-person tutoring, online sessions are recorded, allowing students to review the material afterward and enabling parents to see what their children are learning. This helps reinforce concepts and ensures transparency in the learning process.
