Free consultation

Talk to a tutor before you book. The call is free.

A 10-minute phone or video call. Tell them what your child needs, hear how they would help, then decide.

On the call

What do we talk about?

There’s no script, and you don’t need to prepare. A call often sounds like this.

On the call, look for

Do they know the material?

Ask what they've taught before and how they'd help with what your child is stuck on. Listen for a clear plan, not general promises.

Did they listen?

A good tutor asks about your child before talking about themselves. Notice who did most of the talking.

What does your gut say?

Picture your child with this person every week. If it doesn’t feel right, that’s fine. Book a free call with someone else.
