Pricing questions
Why do tutoring fees vary?
Fees depend on the subject, tutor specialism, one-to-one or group format and lesson duration. We confirm the exact rate before any paid session.
Are digital resources really included?
Relevant resources and mocks are included where stated in the tutoring package. Standalone portal access and live classes are purchased separately unless your agreed package says otherwise. Check the relevant programme page for its current fees and access details.
Can I start with a demo?
Yes. A free diagnostic conversation or demo helps confirm subject fit, current needs and whether tutoring is the right next step.
Can I switch between one-to-one and group classes?
Where a suitable group exists, students can discuss changing format. Availability depends on curriculum, level, target and timetable.
