5. What resources and materials do you use during the online tutoring sessions to support the learning process?
The curriculum follows exactly what will be tested in the IELTS exam. There are resources from just about everywhere, including audio, video, graphics … anything and everything that has been specially-selected to add interest and relevance to the topic and lesson. No boring workbooks or death-by-powerpoint!
6. How do you encourage interaction and participation among students during the online group sessions?
6. How do you encourage interaction and participation among students during the online group sessions?
In lots of ways, including smaller group and pair work, so students have authentic opportunities to talk to each other. The big advantage of online tutoring is that students can instantly go to breakout rooms to work in pairs or smaller groups, and come back and report to the whole group, or ask and answer questions. We also encourage learning through speaking to maximise the value of our lesson time. There’s plenty of time for writing longer texts outside of lessons. We’d much rather students use the advantage of the group to get lots of valuable speaking practice.
7. Do you prepare students for specific exams?

8. What happens if a student misses a session or needs additional support outside of the scheduled tutoring hours?
All the information about what happens if a student misses a session can be found in the terms and conditions.
If a student needs the kind of additional support that is beyond the enrichment work contained in the each booklet and the support in our WhatsApp group, they can book 1:1 support just with us or 1:2 support if they’d like to work together with a friend and their tutor. Details are here. If we have no capacity, we can refer you to excellent tutors in our network, also for other subjects.
