What courses do you offer?
​This all depends on the subject, age and ability of each individual student. It varies according to your objectives and the level they are currently working at.
My child is a little nervous about the tutoring sessions. How can I make them feel more comfortable?
Learning and developing has to come from a personal will and desire to do so. However, as a parent, you can gently remind your child that the sessions will be a safe space for them to make mistakes and that learning will take time. Encouragement and positivity around tutoring will provide a strong foundation for the sessions.
How long are the lessons?
Each 1:1 lesson is planned for 60 minutes in duration.
​
Unfortunately, I am unable to offer sessions of thirty or forty-five minutes.
