Match the question to the teacher before matching the diary

A convenient time is only useful if the tutor can support the learner’s subject and stage. Start with the question the learner needs help answering.

A practical example

For a primary reading concern, describe what happens when the child reads and retells a short passage. For a secondary calculation or exam task, include the course, level and a recent attempt. Read Kevin and Serena’s profiles, then confirm who is available for the specific need.

Ask what information would help them plan a first session and how they would review the starting goal. The profiles introduce the teachers; they do not replace a direct conversation about subject coverage, practical arrangements or any support the learner may require.

Use a learning brief to start the tutor conversation

Prepare a short brief with the subject, year group, current difficulty and a recent example of attempted work. Explain whether the work was independent or completed with help, because that changes what the tutor can infer.

Use Kevin and Serena’s current profiles as the starting point, then confirm subject coverage, lesson format and availability. A broad subject label does not establish suitability for every course or support need. The brief should help both sides decide whether the proposed tuition fits, without sharing unnecessary personal records.

Choose the support that matches your child's stage and goals.

Kevin and Serena's profiles explain their subject coverage and teaching experience. If you are unsure who best fits your needs, contact us before the trial lesson.
