Do we need an assessment first?
An assessment is not automatically required. Explain the current situation; the team can discuss whether a separate assessment would help.
Can we combine different kinds of support?
Yes, subject tutoring and a focused skills or exam program may complement each other. Agree on priorities and a manageable workload first.
Does an enquiry confirm a place?
No. The team confirms suitability, availability and arrangements before enrolment.
Not sure which course fits?
Start with a free 15-minute course introduction. Share the grade, school language, learning goal and preferred format. Other consultation topics are paid services; ask the team about arrangements.
