We will create a personalised learning plan for your child after the first consultation and assessment session. We will place your child with like-minded students and set them goals with a timeline. Each time your child meets the goals, we will slightly enhance the intensity of the content until they can improve their grades by at least 3-4 levels.
Verbal and written feedback will be given to your child during and after each lesson as a report about their in-class and homework progress. And online written Fourth nightly feedback reports will be sent to parents and students. Most parents prefer written reports.

Personalised plans of each student and feedback reports are securely stored on a private online portal so that you can review them later to monitor and track progress.
In addition to daily and fortnightly progress reviews and feedback, during the lesson, each Tutor will offer Support via Chat and microphone as follows;
Throughout the lesson, the student can ask and answer questions privately to the teacher through the chat function so the teacher can constantly keep a check on each student.
The interactive live session allows the teacher to focus on relevant areas where the child needs support and can ask questions during the lessons.

Before starting a tuition lesson, we will conduct a consultation and assessment session and meet with parents and children to assess the requirements and where your child is struggling.
We meet the parent and student online to assess the academic situation, as well as get to know the student a little so that we can ensure that an effective personalised learning plan is created. Many factors impact how students perform in school, including missing or weak academic foundations, lack of ability to understand how best to organise homework, the learning style of the child, and other outside influences. The consultation helps us understand all of these factors.
The Consultation and assessment session will establish goals and expectations for the tuition sessions before enrolling in the lessons.
