Free Initial Chat
The first step on your journey will be a quick online chat with the student and parents to find out what you are looking for in a tutor.
At this point, it is really helpful if you have the following information:
any additional needs I should be aware of;
what school your child attends;
if your student is studying for GCSEs, what exam board and what tier they are sitting.
Your First Session
During the initial chat, we will book a time for our first session. Usually in this session, we look at an assessment together. This can help identify gaps in knowledge and skills that can’t always be spotted just by chatting.
If there is a topic your student is struggling with, we can always focus a little on this but a wider net is generally more helpful.
As with all my sessions, this one will be no more than 45 minutes.
Weekly Sessions
Once we have found our feet together, we will start weekly online sessions.
The sessions will be 45 minutes long, at the most, to help the student stay focused.
We will look at specific topics, exam papers or anything that might be helpful. In general, I don’t help with homework directly but I will help them with the topic so they can do the homework independently.
