We will answer a related but deeper question first. What is the difference between classes and private tutorials?
The major difference is that of scale and flexibility. A classes depends on having a large volume of students that come to study according to a fixed time table.
This is necessary from the point of view of both logistics as well as revenue generation. Unfortunately it also comes with some undesirable side effects for the student.
1. Students are invariably forced to adapt to the teacher's quirks.
2. Students with varying skills and different needs are grouped together with obvious disadvantages for everyone involved.
3. The environment does not allow for innovative use of technology.
In a private tutorial, all of these disadvantages do a 180-degree turn and become advantages.
1. There is one on one interaction between the student and the teacher, where they adapt to each others learning and teaching styles, evolving a unique working method to maximize student learning.
2. The teacher can analyse the skill level of the student topic by topic and adapt working speed and complexity accordingly.
3. Technology can be utilized efficiently for the benefit of the student while preparing them for a world that has deeper integration with technology everyday.
The flexibility and customization that we offer for each individual student necessarily gets reflected in the fees that we charge for our work.
We need to ensure that a student who works with us for a single two hour session per week will pay proportionally less than a student with three one hour sessions per week.
The only way we can so this correctly and fairly is by charging an variable hourly fee.
However, when we meet for a demo lecture we will calculate an annual sum for you.
You can choose to pay this amount in any way that's convinent to you: weekly, monthly, quartery, half yearly or yearly installments.
Yes, but with some conditions one of which is that the group cannot have more than 4 students. Kindly contact us for more details on this topic.
Yes, one of our core missions is to help students with learning disabilites make the most of their time in school and mentor them for a fulfilling future.
You are more than welcome to talk to us for any guidance you need even if you are not one of our students.
Yes, if you choose to pay your charges in a yearly installment, we will offer you a corrosponding discount. Kindly contact us for more details on this topic.
Counseling is an optional purchase and is not compulsary in any way to work with our tutors. It is an addon service that we recommend to students who are targeting difficult to get in to places like Ivy's in USA, LSE in UK, etc which require diligent application preparation in addition to superlative academic and extracurricular performance. If you are not targeting any of the world's most prestegious schools, you should be able to prepare a competetive application yourself with a bit of research and a lot of hard work.
(Free advice: Be organized, don't get tired or complacent and don't be afraid to say no to stupid advice. Like a polished CV with professional fit and finish needs at least 3 drafts)
The same logic of volume vs price comes into play here again and the price is premium not only because we are excellent at cracking admission to these schools but also because we work with a very small number of students who are serioously targetting admissions there and ensure that there are no conflicts of interest between applications guided by us. If your target school is not in the top 20 and you plan on applying to the top schools as a matter of luck, we would recommend that you do not buy this or any similar service unnecessarily.
We leave this here to give you a sense of the power of words.
