Tuition

Tuition that finds the actual gap

One to one and small group tuition that diagnoses what a student is missing before deciding what to teach them.

IWhat we do

Three things, done properly.

i

Diagnosis first

Finding the actual gap, which is usually earlier than the topic the student is failing.

ii

Small group and individual

Both, chosen by what the student needs rather than by what is easiest to schedule.

iii

Working with the school

Complementing what is taught rather than contradicting it.

IIWhat goes wrong

The two failures we see most.

We publish these because most of the value in hiring anyone is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.

Teaching the current topic

A student failing algebra is often missing arithmetic fluency from years earlier. Re teaching this week's lesson does not reach it.

Tutoring as homework supervision

Getting the homework finished raises marks briefly and teaches nothing durable.

IIIHow we work

We tell you what we find.

Including when the answer is that you do not need what you came to ask for. Anyone who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.

Scope

Where something needs a legal opinion, a financial audit or a clinical judgement, we will say so and stop rather than improvise past the edge of what we do.

Start a conversation.

Tell us the situation rather than the service you think you need. We would rather start from your problem.
