Questions

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, the contact page reaches a person rather than a queue.

Getting started

How do I book a lesson?

Use the form on the contact page. Tell us the subject, the level, the goal and the times that work. We reply with a tutor match and a time for the free first lesson.

Is the first lesson really free?

Yes. The first session is an assessment lesson with no charge and no obligation. You receive a written plan afterwards whether or not you continue.

What subjects and levels do you cover?

Mathematics, English, reading and writing, science, technology, test preparation, homework support and academic skills — from elementary school through high school and college to adult learning. See the subjects page for detail on each.

What do we need to join a session?

A device with a camera and microphone, an internet connection, and a quiet space. Sessions run over video call with a shared screen for working through problems.

Tutors and scheduling

How are tutors matched to students?

By subject, level and — where it helps — language. If the fit is not right after the first lesson, tell us and we will rematch you.

Can we choose the times?

Yes. Sessions are booked around school, work and family commitments, including evenings and weekends, in your local time zone.

Can parents sit in on lessons?

Yes, particularly for younger students. We will agree what works best after the first session, and parents receive a short summary either way.

What happens if we need to cancel?

Cancel or reschedule at least 12 hours before a session at no cost. Later cancellations are charged as a session, because the time was reserved for you.

Can I become a tutor?

Yes — see become a tutor. We ask for subject knowledge, some teaching experience and at least four hours a week.

Writing services

What can the writing service help with?

Coaching and consultation, structural review, editing and proofreading, research support, and commissioned writing for non-academic and model work. See the writing page for the full list.

Will you write my assignment for me?

No. Submitting commissioned work as your own is academic misconduct at almost every institution, and we will not help with it. For coursework we provide coaching, feedback and editing on writing that is yours.

Do you handle quantitative work?

Yes — statistical analysis and data work in SPSS, Stata, R, Python or Excel, with the results written up. Qualitative work includes instrument design, coding and thematic analysis.

Lecture videos

How do I buy a lecture video?

Ask for the current catalogue through the contact page and tell us the subject and level. We will send what is available and the price.

Can I sell my own recorded lectures?

Yes — see sell your lectures. You keep the rights to your recordings and set your own prices.

Can I combine a lecture with a live session?

Yes, and many students do: watch the recorded lecture, then book a short live session for the questions it raised.

Pricing and payment

How much do lessons cost?

It depends on the level and how often you study. The pricing page shows indicative rates; your exact rate is confirmed in writing before the first paid session.

Are there discounts?

Block bookings of ten sessions or more are discounted, and siblings studying the same subject can share a booking at a reduced rate.

What languages do you support?

Lessons and written feedback are available in English, Amharic and Afaan Oromo.

Still have a question?

Send it through the contact form. A person reads it and replies — usually within one working day.
