Questions, answered

Frequently Asked Questions.

The things parents usually ask before getting started. Can't find yours here? Just ask on the free intro call.

Are you DBS checked? +

Yes. I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate, and references from current parents are available on request.

What are your rates? +

See the pricing page for private and group rates by level, confirmed for your child's year on the intro call.

How do online lessons work? +

Over Microsoft Teams, with a shared digital whiteboard, so working through a problem feels just as direct as sitting side by side.

What do we need technically for online lessons? +

Just a laptop, tablet or phone with a stable internet connection. Microsoft Teams is free to join from a link, no account or download needed, and the whiteboard runs in the browser.

How will I know it's working? +

I set clear termly targets and track progress every lesson, so you're never left guessing. You're also welcome to message me directly for an update at any point, not just at scheduled reviews.

What's the difference between the intro call and a trial lesson? +

The intro call is just a conversation. No teaching, purely questions and getting booked in. The trial lesson is a short, real lesson over Microsoft Teams before you commit.

Private or group, how do I choose? +

Private is fully tailored to one student. Group tutoring costs less per pupil, suits students who enjoy learning alongside others, and works well for friends, siblings or classmates studying the same subject. Want your child grouped with a specific friend or classmate? Just mention it on the intro call and I'll try to arrange it.

Which levels and subjects do you cover? +

Years 7 and 8, GCSE, and A-Level, across Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry, plus GCSE English. Lessons are built around your child's actual school syllabus, not a generic script.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson? +

Life happens. Message as early as you can and I'll find another slot that week where possible.

Can siblings or friends share lessons to save on cost? +

Yes, that's exactly what group tutoring is for. See the pricing page for group sizes and rates.
