Frequently Asked Questions

Is online tutoring as effective as face-to-face tutoring?

In some cases, it can even be better! In addition to high quality tutors and live, online face-to-face sessions our personalised learning content, ensures a consistent and quality experience for our students.

How do you ensure the online sessions are effective?

In most cases, children respond well when working with a personal tutor. Students are generally comfortable with online technology as they already use it at school. Furthermore, after each session students (and parents) receive feedback on their progress.

Are the tutoring sessions interactive?

All tutoring sessions are designed to be interactive. Tutors guide their students through theory, worked examples and practice questions.

How much does it cost?

NZ$50 for one hour

Does the content align with my child’s school and syllabus?

Yes. Our educators maps all their content to the New Zealand Curriculum. Furthermore, we will work with advice from class teachers, including course outlines and timelines if provided.

Do the tutors tailor the content and personalise it for my child?

Yes. During your child’s free assessment the Becroft Academy tutors will identify the level of skills, knowledge, strengths and weaknesses they have. We then customise a personalised learning plan for the child.

Do I need special equipment?

You don’t need any special software or downloads for the tutoring sessions. Each student needs a laptop or computer with an internet connection, audio and a web cam. The sessions are always live, in real time and interactive.

Are Becroft Academy sessions with a group or 1-to-1?

We offer both small group (when they are available) and 1:1 tutoring sessions. You have the option to choose which model best suits your child’s needs.

Can I try one or two sessions to start with?

Yes, you can start by committing only to two sessions. However, you are never locked into a long term contract at Becroft Academy and you can choose to have as much or as little tutoring as you desire.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?

It depends on your child’s learning needs and their current level of knowledge. However, we recommend once a week to start with and this can be reassessed.

What days and hours can I schedule the tutoring for?

You can schedule sessions anytime between 8am and 9pm, Monday to Saturday.

Can I change my learning session times?

Yes! As long as there is space available.

How do I track my child's progress?

After each tutoring session, your tutor will share a brief report highlighting topics covered in the session, areas your child did well in or needed extra help with, and their overall progress.

Will I get the same tutor for my child's sessions?

Yes. We aim to book the same tutor for each session.
