You’re almost there. You’ve worked really hard and the exams are finally here. Revision at this stage is probably just finishing touches. But there are a few tips to keep in mind the night before the exam and to take with you on the big day.

  1. Remember to read the question

I know, I know – this is a cliché. The easiest piece of advice to follow, and the easiest to forget in the moment. Sometimes we scan a question quickly, spot a few key words and make an assumption about how to answer without reading on. I can’t overstate this – please read the question to the end. Read it twice.

Online tutoring for expat children – is it right for you?

For expat students, online tutoring offers flexibility and the  comfort of learning from your own home. With a recent increase in popularity, online education allows expat students to take their pick from a huge choice of international qualifications (such as British/ UK International GCSE and International A-levels).

Hiring an online tutor from the UK

Our job is to make hiring a British tutor in the UK as easy as possible for international students. We are currently working with online tutees in Dubai, The USA, China and Europe who are working towards UK exams like GCSE and A-levels as well as IB, IGCSE and International A-levels.

Many of our international students are ex-pats looking to return to the UK, or students who move around a lot.

We work to support their learning, answering questions they may have from taught lessons in international schools. Exam practice is also popular!

Our aim in to support you wherever you are – we are even on hand in-between taught sessions via Skype for troubleshooting on specific topics.

Our sessions are clear and focussed but also supportive and friendly. We are flexible around our student’s lives, fitting in around busy schedules – and time zones! If you are an international student, or perhaps a British ex-pat looking for extra help for your child please get in touch to see if we can help.
