#2 Book a tutor

Academic tutoring

A tutor can run a diagnostic on the missed topics and build a session-by-session plan before the test date; outcomes depend on the learner and are not promised.

Prices are set by each independent tutor and shown before you pay.

#3 Do it yourself

Triage the gaps before you book anyone

  1. Ask the teacher which topics the upcoming test covers and which skills are weakest.
  2. Collect the last 2 graded tests and the current syllabus.
  3. Have your child redo missed problems and note where they get stuck.
  4. Set a short daily practice block (20 to 30 minutes) until a tutor starts.
  5. Ask the teacher about office hours or free school tutoring.

Safety: Minors: a parent should be present or reachable during every session.

Stop and call a pro if: Your child cannot explain the missed problems even after reviewing them, or the test is under 3 weeks away.
