The #1 choice for Face to Face Tutoring

Alchemy Tuition offers two types of tutoring: online tutoring and face-to-face tutoring. Each method of tutoring has unique features and benefits and is designed to appeal to students with different learning needs and schedules.

Students with special needs may benefit from more support to excel at school and may not find standard classes suitable. Working with a special needs tutor can help better customise the tutoring to the students’ needs and compensate for their learning disabilities. See what parents have to say about our tutors here.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When is the best time to start tutoring?

There is no better time than now! Tutoring isn’t just for those that are struggling – it also provides advanced students an opportunity to feel challenged and refine their skills. Having someone partner with you to bring out the best in your child is completely invaluable – and we recommend it at every age and level.

Does my child need a tutor?

Tutoring is for more than just those who struggle. In fact, you will usually find the students at the top of the class are there BECAUSE they have a tutor. Your tutor will become a partner in your child’s education journey, bridging the gap between home and the classroom. We believe every single student has something to gain from the support of an Alchemy tutor – and we know you will see this too.

Are there contracts or do I pay in advance?

No – there are no contracts and we are entirely pay as you go. We use an automated payment system that simply charges your debit or credit card 24 hours after each lesson occurs.

Will my tutor provide content and resources?

Yes – your tutor will have full access to our resource centre which contains thousands of worksheets, practice tests and text books. They will tailor every lesson around your child’s needs and design a unique program for them. To avoid waste we encourage our tutors to use digital worksheets so may bring a tablet or laptop – if you’d prefer to have them printed your tutor can send them to you ahead of a lesson for you to print at home.

How long does each lesson go for?

We leave this up to you to discuss with your tutor – but most of our students do between 1-2 hours per week. Our data shows that students see the most progress when they do a 1.5 hour lesson each week. There is no need to agree to a fixed session length – your tutor simply logs the length of session after each lesson occurs (with your prior agreement of course!).

Will my child have an assessment?

Yes. In the first lesson your tutor will deliver an assessment on your child, seeing where their strengths and weaknesses lie. After the session, your tutor will discuss their findings with you and send them through to you by email. From there, they will then develop a 10-week strategy to see your child reach their goals.

Why choose Alchemy over other options?

There are so many reasons, but the one thing we are most proud of is what makes us who we are. Alchemy is the medieval science of turning metals in to gold. It is the act of taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary – something our tutors do with our students every single day. The Alchemy difference is that we care about so much more than just marks. This resonates in everything we do – from the tutors we hire through to the lessons we plan. We want to see your child perform at their very best in all aspects of life – and not just in the classroom. It is this passion for so much more than just academic results that gives us the reputation we have – with thousands of verified 5-star reviews online.

How do you monitor progress?

We test students regularly to monitor improvements. The frequency of this will be up to your tutor, and you are welcome to discuss this with them in the first session to work out a testing cycle that is ideal for your child.

How often will lessons happen?

We recommend weekly sessions for every student. Consistency is so important in education, so irregular lessons may halt your child’s progress.

Is the first lesson a free trial lesson?

No – but it is covered by our first session 100% happiness guarantee. This means that if you are not 100% convinced the tutor we have lined up for you is the right tutor for your child, the session is on us and we can organise someone else that better suits your needs. If however you are happy to continue (and we are confident that you will be!) then we charge you for the first session when you submit payment details.

What is Face-to-Face Tutoring?

Face-to-face tutoring, also known as physical tutoring, is a type of tutoring we offer in which we have the tutor come to your location.

For this method of tutoring to work, we work with tutors who are locals, born and bred and know their way around your town or city. The tutors are carefully vetted and double-referenced before being assigned students on our platform to ensure they’re trustworthy, so you can have peace of mind letting the tutor in your space, knowing that we have conducted all the necessary checks to guarantee safety.

Our face-to-face tutoring follows the same tutoring approach as online tutoring. We take the same customised and individualised learning approach and use bespoke lesson plans that target the student’s weak areas and keep the learning process interactive, fun, and engaging.

Like with online tutoring, you get to choose when you want to take your lessons. The only difference is that you can only take the lessons during the day. You also choose how many lessons you want to take and how long the tutoring sessions are.

Benefits of Face-to-Face Tutoring

Face-to-face tutoring offers unique benefits to the students and families that opt for it. While there are general benefits to face-to-face tutoring, Alchemy Tuition’s face-to-face tutoring has certain unique benefits, such as:

Personalised Attention

One of the significant benefits of face-to-face tutoring is the individualised attention that the student receives. The presence of the tutor increases the level of accountability, ensuring the student is engaged throughout the lesson. The tutor can also tailor their teaching methods to suit the specific learning style and pace of each student, helping them grasp concepts more effectively and address any areas of difficulty or learning gaps.

Flexible Schedule

Face-to-face tutoring also allows the student to arrange sessions at mutually convenient times. This adaptability enables the student to balance academic commitments with extracurricular activities and family responsibilities. The flexibility of face-to-face tutoring allows students to keep up with their grades without giving up on the other aspects of life that they appreciate.

Enhanced Academic Performance

Face-to-face tutoring offers focused attention and one-on-one tutoring, which drastically improves academic performance. Students who receive this type of tutoring tend to achieve higher grades and show a greater understanding of the subject matter.

Remedial Support

Face-to-face tutoring comes in handy for students who require remedial support, have learning difficulties, or have learning gaps from missing school time. The tutor can identify and address the gaps, provide additional explanations, and offer extra practice to the student, ensuring they help the students catch up with their peers.

Boost Confidence

This is a benefit of Alchemy Tuition’s face-to-face tutoring. Our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process and are hand-selected based on their academic credentials, but more importantly, their role model qualities and infectious personalities, which help boost the students’ confidence by improving their self-esteem and self-confidence. The tutors also help the students navigate various academic challenges and prepare them for life after school.

No Travelling Time

The greatest challenge that most families have with tutoring is the travel time involved. Usually, families have to drive to the tutoring location in the thick of after-school traffic, and even finding a parking spot can be a challenge. With our face-to-face tutoring, you don’t have to worry about the travelling time. We have the tutor come to you. The tutor can come to your home, office, local library or any other physical location that is convenient and you agree on which keeps the tutoring convenient and less stressful.

How to Get Started with Our Face-to-Face Tutoring

Now that you know what face-to-face tutoring has to offer, the next step is to find out how you can get started. With Alchemy Tuition, the process is quite smooth and swift and only takes a few simple steps. The most notable thing to know when getting started with face-to-face tutoring at Alchemy Tuition is that you won’t have to find the tutor yourself, which takes the most time.

Fill an Online Form

To get started, you will need to fill out a short online booking form that will take less than three minutes. Alternatively, you can provide your contact information, and we can have one of our educational experts call you to collect details about the student that will help with the tutor’s selection process.

We Match You with the Perfect Tutor

Once you provide us with the information we need about the students, our educational tutors will review the thousands of tutor profiles we have to match you with the best possible tutor. When matching you with a tutor, we will consider the student’s personality, learning methods, and needs.

Our goal is to ensure the tutor and student connect instantly and build a bond that will improve the tutoring’s results.

We Set Up the First Lesson

We will proceed to set up the first lesson so the student and the tutor can meet. The first lesson is covered by our satisfaction guarantee, and you only pay for it once you’re happy with the tutor we have matched you with and want to proceed with the tutoring.

This first lesson is also crucial because it allows the tutor to assess the students, better understand their learning needs, and give them an idea of how to approach their lesson plan.
