Where does the tutoring happen?

Tutoring is conducted at the student’s home or a location arranged by the client (e.g. the grandparent’s house).

How are the sessions charged?

Clients are charged a fixed hourly rate for a minimum of one hour and then in half hour increments.

For what times can sessions be booked?

Tutoring is available to start from 0800 to 2200, 7 days a week unless already booked.

Are there travel costs?

There are no travel or travel-time costs for students within 20 miles of Highworth. For students beyond that distance, each situation is considered on a case-by-case basis.

If we employ the tutor, what is the minimum number of sessions we would be obliged to take?

There is no minimum number of sessions . You would book sessions until you do not need or want the tutor any more.

What do we need to provide?

The student needs to provide his own paper, pens, calculators, revision guides etc. The client needs to provide a table to work on (a dining or kitchen table is best), a safe, warm environment and a mug of tea (milk, no sugar please). The tutor brings what he needs to provide the tutoring.  

Is there any homework?

Generally the homework that the student is expected to do between sessions is to produce their own notes on the subject matter that has been covered in the session, review what has been covered in previous sessions and prepare for the next session. Advice will be given on where to find practice questions and papers. At the end of the day, tutoring can only be successful if the student makes the effort to learn.

Is there a policy on confidentiality?

We do not identify or talk about our clients and students with other clients and students. We certainly do not compare students against each other.

More details on the terms and conditions will be provided at the first session.
