Online vs in-person – what are the benefits?
Online Tuition has the benefit of flexibility in the modern day. It can be taught in any location all you need is a laptop or tablet and you’re ready to go. Tutors can send resources to students using an online whiteboard which can be saved and brought up again for easy revision. This service is our most popular!
In-Person Tuition allows tutors engage students with science experiments, board games and physical activity. They can present knowledge in a different way than in the classroom. Our students love seeing their tutor each week and often ask to see them more than once. However, this service is location dependant.
What qualifications will my tutor have?
All our tutors come from the highest academic backgrounds, specialising in a full array of subjects at all levels. Prospective tutors are carefully screened, DBS checked and interviewed by our Director before becoming a tutor. We work with a small network of highly trusted tutors, only actively seeking out new employees when our clients have specific needs.
