| It usually takes me about 60 to 80 hours to cover a
standard A-level course in one-to-
one tuition from 'scratch' (for modular courses this has worked out at
an average of 15 to 20 hours per module). More time has needed to be
allowed for running through past papers
and for specialist syllabuses such as Human Biology. For a one-year
course, three terms of ten weeks with three tutorials per week has
always been the recommended norm, although I have also done 'crash
courses' on request - cramming these hours into one term - with varying
degrees of success, depending on the ability and commitment of the
student. For pupils still at school, one lesson per week is the norm. I can, however, make almost any arrangement to suit your needs. Please ask. I keep approximate school terms and am available throughout
the academic year and am sometimes available over the Christmas
vacation - although the summer vacation is sacrosanct! During the Easter vacation, as well as carrying on teaching my 'regular' students who wish to continue over Easter (or indeed increase their number of tutorials) I also take on many extra students who wish to have revision tuition before their examinations but who prefer coming to me for one-to-one tuition rather than going to one of the many Easter Revision Courses (where tuition is almost always in small groups unless specially arranged). |
