Tutorials that are one-to-one mean tutors can focus their attention fully on each student. With no other students causing distractions, our tutors are better able to identify and work on a student’s weak points, and tailor each lesson to the student's learning style, making the whole learning process more effective.

The Platinum Plan is recommended for students who lack motivation and need guidance with their studies. It includes weekly homework so our tutors can monitors each student's progress and progress reports are provided every 10 tutorials.

We recommended Platinum Plan tutorials on a weekly basis, as this allows our tutors to regularly review with their students what has been covered in class each week, help give their students a head start on content that is to be covered in school the following week, as well as set relevant homework for the concepts that require more practice.

We recommend NCEA students on this plan purchase our NCEA booklets of past exam papers as a resource for tutorials, homework and study.
