Partner School Question

At Ecmtutors, we understand the importance of providing free lessons to students. While we would love to offer unlimited free lessons, it's important to note that we are the platform facilitating the lessons, not the direct providers. The lessons are delivered by sixth-form students from your school and are shared among many students.

If there is tutor availability and no other student is in greater need, we are more than happy to continue providing free lessons to you. However, in situations where there is high demand, we prioritize allocating lessons to students with the greatest need.

Rest assured, our commitment is to ensure that every student receives a minimum of 5 free lessons. We strive to support you in your learning journey while balancing the availability of our tutors and meeting the needs of all students.

It's important to remember that mistakes can happen, even with the best intentions. The tutors aren't professional teachers, they are sixth-formers who are volunteering their time to try and help your child.

Rather than assigning blame, focus on addressing the issue and ensuring your child receives accurate information and support. Effective communication and collaboration between all parties involved can help rectify any misunderstandings and provide the best educational experience for your child.

Sorry we work on a first come first serve basis, please be patient or try another tutor.

The partner school area is exclusively reserved for pupils from partnered schools. In order to gain access, our administrators need to verify that you are indeed from a partner school. This verification process may take some time, so we kindly ask for your patience. However, if you believe that an excessive amount of time has passed and you still don't have access, please don't hesitate to contact us

While we value the advice of your school and strive to maintain ethical standards, it's important to note that we are an independent UK company with our own set of terms and conditions. Although we work closely with schools to ensure alignment with educational goals, any issues or concerns that may arise are to be addressed by our company directly and do not reflect upon your school.

We prioritize maintaining a strong partnership with educational institutions and seek their guidance to provide the best tutoring experience for students. However, it's essential to recognize that our website operates under its own policies, guidelines, and standards.

Rest assured, our commitment is to offer a reliable, high-quality tutoring service while complying with applicable laws and regulations. We have established our terms and conditions to ensure a fair and transparent learning environment for all users.

General Customer Questions About Tutoring

Yes, it is essential to provide clear instructions to the tutor regarding what you would like to be taught before the lesson. Clear instructions help the tutor understand your goals, expectations, and the specific areas of focus for your child. By providing clear instructions, you can ensure that the tutor aligns their teaching strategies and materials with your objectives, maximizing the effectiveness of the tutoring sessions. Clear instructions also help avoid any misunderstandings or miscommunications, allowing the tutor to tailor their approach to your child's needs and provide targeted support.

No, having a private tutor does not replace your child's teacher. A private tutor provides additional support and guidance to complement the instruction given by the classroom teacher. The role of a teacher in a school setting is comprehensive and goes beyond subject-specific knowledge. Teachers are responsible for designing curriculum, delivering lessons, assessing student progress, and providing a well-rounded education that includes social and emotional development.

The tutor's role is supplementary to that of the teacher, aiming to support and reinforce what is being taught in the classroom. Collaboration between tutors and teachers can be beneficial, as they can share information and strategies to better support the student's learning journey. It's important to maintain open communication with both the teacher and the tutor to ensure that everyone is aligned and working together to support the child's educational progress.

While tutoring can be a valuable resource for students, it does not guarantee success on its own. Tutoring can provide additional support, personalized attention, and a deeper understanding of certain subjects, which can improve a student's academic performance. However, success in school depends on various factors, including a student's effort, motivation, study habits, and overall learning environment.

Tutoring can be particularly beneficial for students who are struggling with specific subjects or concepts. It allows them to receive individualized instruction, clarify doubts, and practice skills under the guidance of a knowledgeable tutor. This targeted assistance can enhance their understanding and improve their performance in those areas.

Additionally, tutoring can help students develop effective study techniques, organizational skills, and problem-solving abilities. A good tutor can provide guidance on how to approach assignments, manage time effectively, and overcome challenges. However, it's important to recognize that tutoring is just one aspect of a student's educational journey. Success in school also depends on factors such as regular attendance, active participation in class, completion of assignments, and engagement with the learning material. A supportive home environment, effective communication with teachers, and a positive attitude toward learning are also crucial.

Ultimately, while tutoring can be a helpful tool, a student's success is a result of their own efforts, the quality of teaching they receive both in and outside of tutoring sessions, and various other factors that contribute to their overall educational experience.

It's important to remember that mistakes can happen, even with the best intentions.

Rather than assigning blame, focus on addressing the issue and ensuring your child receives accurate information and support. Effective communication and collaboration between all parties involved can help rectify any misunderstandings and provide the best educational experience for your child.
