GROUP SESSIONS Our group tutorials are in small groups of normally 2 or 3 students per tutor. These tutorials are individually based, they are not class structured, allowing tutors to provide individual assistance to each student as required. Group sessions are normally two hour sessions, however for younger students one hour may be more appropriate. KEY BENEFITS Two hour sessions Professional and experienced tutors Detailed notes covering theory Worked solutions from school textbooks Computer educational software 25 years of past exam papers available MINI-CLASSES Apart from individual or small group tuition, lessons are also available in mini-classes when several students require tuition in the same subject. This may be the case when, for example, students in the same school or university class wish to receive additional private tuition. Mini-classes can be advantageous for the sharing of information and in the reduction of tuition costs.
Students unable to attend the tuition centre still have the option of receiving assistance via online tuition. For more details on this program click |
