Questions before you book
Answers about tutoring sessions, prices, hours, and planning ahead.
Which subjects and grade levels do you teach?
Describe the learner's subject, grade level and goals. Confirm the tutor's available subjects and appropriate starting level before enrolling.
How do families hear about learning progress?
Ask how the tutor shares observations, practice recommendations and progress updates. Agree on a suitable communication method for the learner or guardian.
Can lessons follow a learner's school materials?
Ask whether the tutor can work with current assignments or course materials. Share the curriculum and goals before the first session.
How is a tutoring schedule chosen?
Discuss the learner's workload and availability. Confirm session length, frequency and what happens when a lesson is missed.
How do you handle learning accommodations?
Describe the support the learner needs and ask what the center can provide. Tutoring does not replace assessment or services from a qualified professional.
How do you choose the right starting point?
Discuss the learner’s current work and goals. Ask whether an initial conversation or assessment is needed and whether it has a fee.
Are sessions individual or in a group?
Ask which formats are available, who leads the session, and how a group is matched by subject and level.
Can you guarantee a grade or test score?
No grade or score is promised. Progress depends on the learner’s starting point, participation, practice, and other factors.
What should a learner bring?
Ask which books, assignments, or devices are needed. Do not send private school records until a suitable sharing method is agreed.
