Below are some of our most frequently asked questions

How do you operate?

Three easy steps: The client/parent is required to fill our online form which helps us collect all the important information about the learner that we need to match them to a highly suitable tutor. We Search our database for tutors who suit your preference and are knowledgeable in the field the learner wishes to learn. We also handle all negotiations with tutors and send the most suitable tutor to you.

What ages and classes do you work with?

We work with students from ages 5 upwards. However, for any child between 4 and 8 we require that a nanny or guardian must be present with the child at all times while the tutor is teaching/coaching the child. This is because the tutors we provide do not offer NANNY services, and will not assist in any duties that do not pertain to tutoring. We hope you understand

How flexible are the arrangements?

Flexibility is key to us, which is why every arrangement can be changed with further conversations between client and tutor. In cases where the new arrangements by a client are no longer favourable for the tutor, we are able to find a new tutor for the client at no extra charge. However, the client is required to give Educere at least a one month’s notice prior to the change.
