Question 1

What is the free meet the tutor session?

Accepted Answer

It is really important to build a rapport with a tutor and to discuss what you would like and need from  tutorials in advance.

Tell them about yourself.  It's a good idea to tell them where you feel your weaknesses are and where you most need help.

Sometimes students like to work alongside or in advance of the topics they are covering in class. This helps build confidence and deeper understanding.   Other students prefer to go back to topics they had maybe struggled with before or need help revising on.

Discuss what sort of resources you would like to use in the tutorials.  Practice questions for example? Remember you can easily upload screenshots to our whiteboard.

If you are happy with your meeting you can easily book lessons online according to your tutor's availability.

Question 5

How often should I have tutorials?

Accepted Answer

This is up to you of course.

You can book one off tutorials when you need them -perhaps you need help with a particular topic or assignment?

However, it is most beneficial to meet your tutor regularly. Your tutor begins to better understand your needs and you begin to make stronger progress.  Once or twice a week is recommended.
