There are a few companies which offer help through Tutoring Centres.

• These tutoring centres usually offer one hour per week in each subject (English and/or maths).
• The numbers of children who attend is commonly between 20 and 40.
• The tutor is very often not a qualified teacher
• Some tutoring centres offer their ‘own methods’ for teaching maths and English
• They usually cost around £50 per month per subject per child
• The children usually only get a few minutes of tutor time each week per child
• They are set homework to do for the rest of the week – with no way of getting help if they get stuck on anything between sessions

My Own Tutor understands that it is difficult to take children to a tutoring session every week at the same time. Sometimes it is inconvenient for you; sometimes your children are not in the mood (or perhaps they are ill); sometimes it’s difficult to find parking near the centre; and when you have more than one child who needs help in both English and maths, the costs mount up.

• My Own Tutor’s lessons are available 24/7 to be watched as often as needed or wanted.
• Children work with My Own Tutor at the times which suit them
• My Own Tutor’s games-based exercises have been proven to increase the amount of practice work that children do by over 25%
• The exercises which the children do with My Own Tutor are monitored so that parents can see through our reports how their children are doing; where they are finding things difficult; where they are succeeding.
• And if they ever do need help, our Qualified teachers are available 6 days a week to talk to and 24/7 by email.
• Students talk to our teachers on a one-to-one basis; not in a room full of other children
• My Own Tutor’s pricing is per family (not per child) at less than the price of a cup of coffee in Starbuck’s per day!
