Top Tutoring related questions

Hiring a private tutor counters all the pressure and issues in a large classroom setup. Foremost, it allows students to master challenging topics at their own pace so that they won’t fall behind their classmates during the academic year. This one-on-one approach also lets them go back and ask about areas that they find difficult. Private tutoring prepares them to perform better on tests, exams, and other class activities.

The traditional in-person tutoring approach provides face-to-face private lessons at home, at a local library, or any comfortable location. This enables interactive and hands-on activities to take place but in a smaller group setting. Meanwhile, those who offer online teaching use virtual methods and an online classroom setup, eliminating the need to meet up physically. It’s the most flexible option that can be scheduled at your most convenient time.

How often you should hire a tutor depends on the goals and the amount of extra work you’re willing to take for a day or a week. If you only need a quick guide to help you pass a test or submit a homework, it may be practical to book intensive sessions with them for a few days only. But if you’re looking for long-term results, you can set up regular meetings at least once or twice a week.

It depends on the exact services needed and the complexity of the concepts that you need to learn. Usually, a session of 45-90 minutes a day is already enough, but you can always extend it if you are preparing for a big test or performance. If you’re getting a language or math tutor for your child, it is recommended that they only attend shorter sessions as they often lose focus after a long period.

Most home tutors can perform pre-assessment tests to know your current abilities, then take another evaluation after a few meetings with them. Or if you like, you can also identify yourself if the sessions are the right fit for you! A good indicator of excellent tutoring is if they can make complicated concepts seem effortless and enjoyable. It’s also a good sign if you find their learning style fun and exciting.

Tutors must have at least a high school diploma or certificates in the field when providing services for preschool to middle-school students. A higher degree of diploma or specialisation might be needed for uni students. Before you book your potential Tasker, make sure that they are experts in the field and comfortable teaching your age group or skill level. If it helps, you can check their profiles and work history in real-time using our system.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, early intervention can be beneficial. If you notice signs of academic struggle or a lack of enthusiasm for learning, you should explore tutoring options sooner rather than later.

In the UK, tutor rates vary widely depending on the subject and tutor experience. On average, expect to pay between £25 to £40 per hour for tutoring services, with some specialized tutors charging more. It's best to inquire directly with tutors for accurate pricing.

What does tutoring include?

Tutors include a mixture of teaching and coaching to help you (or your child) achieve the desired learning outcomes. You can hire a kids’ tutor who specialises in tutoring primary and secondary school students or a tutor who works with languages, creative pursuits, or university-level studies. Normally, you’d hire a tutor to assist outside of regular classes, whether online or in-person. You can hire a tutor for one-on-one help or in a small-group setting, whether you’re hiring them for yourself, your kids, or even to support a team member in your workplace. Here are some of the most common types of tutoring services:

Maths tutor & science tutors

Many students use a math tutor or a science tutor to help them grasp complex concepts like further maths, complete homework and prepare for assignments and exams. Depending on how advanced your studies are, you may want to look for a tutor with specific skills and knowledge in your subject matter. Some common specialisations include algebra tutors, physics tutors, chemistry tutors, and biology tutors. They’ll help you go over the study materials, find out what areas you’re struggling with, and strategically guide you to help build on your knowledge and increase your confidence.

English tutoring

English is a required school subject for most primary and high school students. It’s normal for many students to need English tutoring to help them work on assignments, do homework, improve their reading skills, feel more confident with public speaking, and more. Your English tutor will go over your assignment criteria and help you break down what’s required and the steps you’ll need to take. While they won’t write your assignments for you, they will help by providing feedback so you can improve them before you hand them in to your teacher.

Kid’s tutor

Kids tutoring sessions include personalized guidance in challenging subjects, interactive learning activities to enhance understanding, and focused attention on individual strengths and weaknesses. The right tutor employs creative teaching methods to engage sessions, fostering a positive and practical learning experience for children ages 4-12.

University tutoring

Many university subjects have weekly lectures, along with a weekly class that’s usually referred to as a tutorial. While your uni may refer to your class teacher as a “tutor”, it’s unlikely that you’ll get to spend much one-on-one time with them. If you need some extra help with understanding the concepts you hear during lectures, getting assignments done, or preparing for exams, a university tutor can help. For example, you can hire an economics tutor, an engineering tutor, or a biochemistry tutor to help you prep for uni or get through the semester with more confidence.

Music Tutoring

Want to get better at a musical instrument? A music teacher or tutor can help. They’ll find out your goals, assess your current skill level, and help put together a plan to help you practice more effectively (and consistently). You’ll find music teachers and tutors who offer piano lessons, violin lessons, singing lessons, guitar lessons, flute lessons, clarinet lessons, drum lessons, cello lessons, and bass guitar lessons.

Language Tutoring

Learning another language is much easier with an experienced language tutor on your side. Some of the common languages and tutors you’ll find are Spanish tutors, Portuguese tutors, Italian tutors, Japanese tutors, French tutors, German tutors, and Chinese tutors. Whether you’re learning a language ahead of overseas travel, new job opportunities, for a school subject, or something else, your tutor will help you with everything from the basics to fine details.
