We promise to do our best to fit our one-on-one tutoring sessions to your needs and keep it at a comfortable pace for you. If you ever feel like your tutor is going too fast or too slow with a concept, or if you would like your tutor to re-explain something, just let them know! We do not mind repeating something, trying to explain it in a different way, or changing the pace, as our goal is to meet your needs and help you achieve your academic goals.
In general, we find students start to see improvements within a few months of beginning tutoring. This can vary depending on a few factors, such as the degree to which the student is behind, whether the student has anxiety, and their individual learning style. The student’s motivation and dedication outside of tutoring can also play a big part. We will often recommend getting further practice at home on the concepts we cover and provide worksheets or online practice. Students who follow through during the week, even if it’s just doing a few minutes of study a few times a week, typically see much faster results in their level of understanding and their marks.
As there are so many factors that contribute to a student’s marks and results can take many weeks of consistent tutoring, we cannot guarantee results in the form of school marks. However, as it is our mission to assist and support our students academically, we do aim to do our best to help our students improve their school marks.
