I have completed the online form. What happens next?
I will contact you on the email you provided and we will arrange to have a video call online, so that I can understand your requirements and may answer any questions you have.
IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, A PARENT(s) OR A LEGAL GUARDIAN(s) MUST BE ON THIS CALL WITH YOU.
At the end of this chat, you are under no obligation to proceed, there is no pressure, this is not a ‘sales pitch’.
Is it you who will tutor me or someone else?
It is me, I am the only tutor.
What syllabus will we cover?
A tutor is not the same as a teacher, I do not prescribe your syllabus. Instead, we will work with what your own teachers have prescribed. We will use texts and time periods that your are studying at school and for your exams.
If you want to know some of the things I have already covered, I have made a non-exhaustive list to provide you with an indication:
How much does it cost?
I charge £26.00 per hour that I tutor. We generally do 1 hour per session but we can have multiple sessions per week if necessary. That would be quite usual, but you are in control of how much time you need.
If you book and pay for five or more 1-hour sessions at once, I give a 10% discount on the price. So, for example the price for 5 sessions would be £117.00 instead of £130.00 (or £23.40 per hour-long session instead of £26.00)
I also will consider 30-minute sessions for £13.00, but that can feel a little tight for proper knowledge retention.
How and when do I pay you?
If you decide to go ahead with tutoring I will give you my bank details: a sort code and bank account number in the UK. You, or your parent/guardian will need to make a payment online.
Your payment will need to be received before the lesson starts and the payment reference will need to be your surname, so I know you have paid.
Can I have a free lesson to try?
I provide 15 minutes for us to meet online and chat about your requirements. We can also discuss my style of teaching and you can decide whether this is for you. A tutoring relationship is like any relationship – it’s important to click!
I do not provide free lessons however, because a lesson involves a fair bit of preparation work ahead of the session. I am an impoverished student 🙂
What if I don’t like it?
You are under no obligation to continue and even pre-booked sessions can be cancelled and refunded.
