Group tuition
Group tuition is carried out in the same way as my 1-to-1 tuition but have the added advantage of the students being able to interact with each other as well as with me.
The tuition consists of a weekly 1 hour live lesson and students also receive access to the relevant topics in my bespoke video courses.
Summary of Paired / Group tuition
- it is cheaper than 1-to-1 tuition!
- in addition to the paired / group lesson, I will run a free 10 minute 1-to-1 session on a Saturday afternoon, which students can book to address any problems with the theory covered in their lessons
- the theory taught is always syllabus specific
- recordings of lessons will be sent to any student who is absent from a paired / group lesson
- students have access to a video course to help them prepare in advance for each lesson
- students have access to past paper questions on each topic
- students are able to contact me outside of lessons if they have any small problems with any of the theory taught or any past paper questions
- working with others gives students confidence and the chance to learn from other students' questions and responses
"Groups created by students"
If students approach me as a ready formed group, I am able to go through whichever course they have requested as a group. It is helpful if all students are working at a similar level. This is by far the best way to have group tuition with me and to guarantee a place in my timetable.
There is no maximum for this group.
"Groups created by Simply Chemistry"
If a student has a preference for group tuition but does not have a partner(s) to form a group, I am happy to start lessons with that student at the charge of a 1-to-1 tuition (as advertised in the Fees table on the HOME page of my website) in order to guarantee them a place in the timetable. This 1-to-1 tuition fee would continue until the student or myself find other student(s) to join the group. Although I would do my best to find suitable students to make up a group, I cannot guarantee that this would be possible.
Group tuition works best for each student when all members of the group start together at the start of each academic year.
NEW From September 2024, for students who choose group tuition, I will run a "drop in" on Saturday afternoons to answer any little problems or questions that the students may still be have based on the theory we are studying in the group sessions. It gives each student about 10 minutes of 1-to-1 time. Please note: this time will not be for answering students' homework questions which their school has set.
