How are the lessons structured?
During each hour-long lesson, the class spends 10 minutes going through the previous week's homework, and then we cover new content using powerpoint, modelled answers and discussions over zoom or through chat. We occasionally use chat to answer multiple choice, calculations or shorter questions. The class sometimes completes a worksheet or related task either on their own, or in groups of two or three using bitpaper or classkick. In this way, I am able to see students working in real time and provide individual support. I am able to vary the lessons and the homework to target individual strengths and weaknesses.
The small group structure gives all the benefits of individual tuition, plus the security of learning alongside peers, all at a lower cost than 1:1 lessons. However, if a student needs more individual attention, 15 minute optional drop-in sessions are already included in the group fee.
Do you offer trial lessons?
If a space is currently available, I offer paid trial lessons for all of my group classes. In most cases, a trial lesson will demonstrate the format of the lesson and my teaching style. What a trial lesson will not show you is the level of tailoring that goes on throughout the course – such as checking homework to assess each student's strengths and weaknesses and ensuring that these are addressed in subsequent lessons.
Do you offer a one year course?
It is possible to attend both lessons each week and complete the course in under 12 months.
A student starting in September 2024 who is attending two lessons per week will have covered all the material in time for the exams in October / November 2025.
A student starting in June 2025 who is attending two lessons per week will have covered all the material in time for the exams in May / June 2026. This option has the additional benefit of covering all the material before the optional revision sessions that take place in April and May.
