How often should we have tutorials?

The number of sessions is up to your own requirements and budget. The majority of my students have one or two sessions per week. Some independent students taking physics, chemistry and maths have had up to six sessions a week.  We always try to be flexible with our students. Should you want to increase or decrease your contact time with me we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Is online tutoring as effective as face-to-face tutorials?

Once a student tries online tuition we find the majority prefer online to face-to-face.

Online tutorials are usually more effective than face-to-face session. With a huge collection of resources at our fingertips, and the student in their own home, or other comfortable environment, this is more conducive to an effective learning environment. 

The only time an online tutorials is less effective is when technology lets us down. Contact us for tips on how to avoid this.

How do I pay?

Tutorial must be paid for in advance. On the first of the month we will send you an invoice for tutorials during that month. Payment details will be shown on the invoice. We prefer payment by card or bank transfer if possible.

A late fee of 5% will be applied if invoices are not paid within a week.
