Question 3

What can we expect from the session?

Accepted Answer

The first session (whether it be individual or group) gives the tutor and your child an opportunity to get to know each other and the tutor to gauge what level your child might be at. It’s really important that your child can be comfortable with their tutor and is an important part of the process. Together they will come up with goals as part of their Individual Student Plan. Once goals are in place each session is designed to get your child closer to achieving their goals. At the end of each session, the tutor will share a brief summary to update you on their progress.

Consultation with your child’s teacher or therapist can also be arranged on request.

Question 4

How do I know how my child is progressing?

Accepted Answer

Our tutors will use a live Google document to share with you the learning plan and progress notes after each session. It’s also a place where you can leave feedback for the tutor. If there are any specific concerns or discussions that need to be had, we can arrange that with the tutor.

Question 5

What type of tutoring will suit my child?

Accepted Answer

You know your child better than anyone and what works for them.

Individual tutoring: if your child is not quite keeping up with the curriculum, has trouble concentrating in groups or needs a bit more time to understand concepts, one-on-one time might suit them more with techniques tailored to their learning needs

Small group tutoring: some children work better in small groups as it gives them someone to bounce ideas off, compare notes and maybe make sessions a bit more social while still being focused on the learning. Why not ask your child’s classmates if they would be keen to form a group?

Homework Club: your child is on track with the curriculum but after a long day at school and a long day at work, it’s not always something either of you look forward to doing. Our Homework Club is suitable for children that just need dedicated time for tasks, in an engaging learning environment, with someone (a qualified primary school teacher) available to answer questions, help them stay on track and lead them in the right direction. This frees up time for the whole family at home.
