How Tutors246 can help you achieve academic success

At Tutors246, we start our tutoring program with a free assessment that is designed to determine your performance in the subject area in four main areas:

1. Comprehension 
2. Analysis 
3. Knowledge/Understanding
4. Application of Knowledge

Following the assessment, a customized tutoring plan would be designed which takes into account, your current learning level and pace on the one hand, and the syllabus and timeline on the other. This ensures that the tutoring plan delivers optimal instruction to enable you, the student, to achieve academic success.

Each session will follow a module in the syllabus with the majority of the sessions focusing on the modules which you need more assistance with, based on the initial assessment and progress test.

We also provide online learning modules in several subjects, which include past papers, solutions, study guides and video tutorials. Our online tutoring is delivered via the moodle blackboard platform which allows file sharing and video conferencing.

Our home tutoring is conducted by professional tutors who are experience educators in their field, well qualified and trained to conduct tutoring sessions. We welcome customer feedback and assessment of our tutors to ensure that our service is exceptional and exceeds expectations.

 

Creating a study routine – Practicing Good Habits

When preparing for an examination the following tips are advised:

1. Review your notes immediately after class to make sure you have a grasp of the topic discussed.
2. Highlight any area or topic which you did not understand, for review with your tutor.
3. For every hour of studying, take 10 minute breaks for each scheduled hour.
4.  

   Pick a particular topic from the syllabus and a timeline to complete this particular module.

5. Take brief notes, mind maps or short notes to help you memorize that particular subject.
6. Practice solving questions for that module, following the format of the examination – giving yourself a set time to complete each question based on the examination.
7. Repeat this process until you are comfortable with answering question within this timeframe, so you are not shaken by the examination format.

 

Our online modules allow you to thoroughly prepare for the examination with access to online tutors, a structured format, video tutorials and solutions to problems.
