Question 1

How do I choose the right tutor?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right tutor is really important and is often quite challenging. You need to balance the scales between academic qualifications, teaching competence and interpersonal skills. Tutoring is much different to teaching in a school; a tutor needs to be able to build one-to-one rapport with their students and push them to get the very best.
 
Every single one of our tutors has outstanding academic qualifications, enormous experience and knows how to quickly build relationships with students. They act as much as mentors as tutors helping them to fulfill their full potential.

Question 2

What makes your tutors different from other companies?

Accepted Answer

Many companies offer excellent tutors - we are no different, our tutors are graduates of universities like Oxford and Cambridge. They are highly experienced and they have great teaching skills. Where we are different from other top companies is that we actively manage the tuition process. 
Each of our expert tutors have an experienced academic manager who oversees the whole process. Success with tuition is often just as much about following a strategy as having a great tutor. With us you can be assured of a professionally managed service, where every step is meticulously planned and tracked - giving you the piece of mind you need that your child is on the path to success.

Question 3

Is private tutoring effective?

Accepted Answer

Private tutoring is the most effective way to get ahead academically. Studies show that over the course of a year it adds on average 5 months of progress against peers. Additionally using experienced and highly trained teachers doubles this effect. If you are serious about getting ahead, catching up or securing the future, there is no better way than with a private tutor.

Question 4

Do you offer online tutoring?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Online tuition has grown to account for around 50% of our tuition. Recently attitudes towards online lessons have really changed and demand for teachers who are effective online communicators has grown. As well as this, a whole world of online platforms, resources and tools has been born to help teachers.
Our tutors have really tackled these challenges head-on and in fact online tuition allows metrics to be tracked more easily. The incorporation of tech into tutoring will only strengthen its effectiveness.

Question 5

How often do I need a tutor?

The answer to this depends on your goals and how much time you have to prepare. For English as a foregin language you might meet have a tutor 2 x 1.5 hours per week.

Each case is completely different and your consultant will help you to understand exactly how many hours you need to prepare for.
