Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the advantage of a private tutor?
Working with a private tutor can help strengthen subject comprehension, boost confidence, and build important learning skills. Working with a tutor provides students with individualized attention that they don't receive in a crowded classroom. This helps children who struggle to keep up, as well as those who aren't challenged enough.

Q: What are a tutor’s responsibilities?
