Our Approach

Online tutoring offers a convenient and flexible approach to tutoring. Without having to allow for travel it is easier to find suitable times and children often feel more relaxed working in the comfort of their own home. We use Zoom which allows our online teaching to be interactive and engaging. Screen sharing and interactive whiteboards allow the tutor and student to work together in a similar way to working face to face.

Choosing 1:1 or group tuition depends on a few things. There is obviously the cost difference between them. It also depends on how your child likes to learn – some children like to be able to bounce ideas around and discuss what they are doing, others like to work independently. If you are unsure which would be best please do contact us to discuss this.
