The First Lesson

Your Tutor Match

After initially chatting to Portia, she will match your child with their tutor.

You can find out more about our tutors by finding their profile on our Tutors page.

Making the Most of Lessons

Timing - join the lesson 5 minutes early in case you come across any technical difficulties.

Equipment - have a pen and paper ready for all lessons. Scientific calculators will be needed for secondary maths and science lessons.

Find a quiet space - students must be able to concentrate during their lessons and therefore we suggest they find a quiet space away from any distractions.

Adults - we ask an adult to be somewhere in the house, but we’d love you to encourage your child's independence. We find that students work better when their parents don’t get involved in the session.

Lesson Content

Initial 1:1 Assessment

Unless you have requested a specific topic, the first 1:1 lesson will be an initial assessment.

Your child's tutor will work through a range of topics with them so that they can get to know their ability and make a plan for future lessons.

After this, all lessons will be tailored specifically to your child's individual needs.

Communication

Contacting your Child's Tutor

Portia will set up a WhatsApp group between the parents and the child's tutor.

You can then contact your child's tutor using this group.

Please keep all communications within this group to ensure that lessons are scheduled accurately and that you are invoiced correctly.

Lesson Reports

After a lesson has been completed, you may be emailed a lesson report. This report will detail what has recently been covered and any comments your child's tutor has about their progress.

Lesson reports may not be sent every week, but when the tutor would like to update you on what is being covered.

Lesson reports can also be accessed when you log in to your account.
