FAQs

One to One

Is online learning the right option for me? 

Research shows that online learning improves engagement with a topic. It provides a convenient and flexible alternative to tutoring at home, allowing you digital access to several useful resources and videos. During this difficult time of Covid restrictions, online learning provides a safe, healthy alternative to in-person tutoring. If you’re still not sure, get in touch with us to discuss any questions or concerns.  

How much is it for a private lesson?  

We trust our tutors to set their own rates. Our rates vary from £20-£60 per hour depending on the level of study and the experience of the tutor. Let us know your budget and we will try to match you with the best possible tutor at that price range.  

How do one on one classes work?   

All our lessons take place online. Your child will learn on an interactive virtual whiteboard from an experienced tutor.

How do I pay?

We only take payment online. You can pay securely via PayPal or bank transactions. We’ll give you all the details once you’ve booked your classes. Feel free to contact us for further information.   

Is there a 24 hour cancellation policy?  

Yes. We usually take payment at least 24 hours before lessons. If you cancel less than 24 hours before a lesson, you will not be issued a refund.  

Do you provide one-off lessons?  

We generally do not but please speak to a member of the team and we may be able to provide an exception depending on the time and circumstance.  

Do you set homework? 

Yes. Our tutors give regular homework to students as an assessment tool to measure understanding and progress.  

How soon can I see results?  

90% of our students have told us that they saw a noticeable difference in their confidence and understanding after just 5 hours of studying with us.   

In the longer term, it takes time, discipline, and consistency to see results. At Air Maths we are dedicated to your child’s learning and will keep track of their progress to ensure they are on the right track.

Where do classes take place and how do I join a class?  

Our lessons usually take place on Zoom but some of our tutors like to use Bramble, which is also a popular software for online teaching.  

We will invite you to a class by sending a link which you will receive via email about 10 minutes before your lesson begins.  

If you are using Zoom, we recommend that you download the Zoom app in order to maximise your user experience. You can also join a lesson by simply clicking the invitation link we send and opening through your browser.

Is my child safe online?  

As all our lessons are online, we take the online safety of our students very seriously.  All lessons are recorded for monitoring purposes.  

We ensure that all tutors of Air Maths Tuition hold an enhanced DBS certificate and an accredited safeguarding certificate. We have a safeguarding lead to report any issues and students can report any issues they have.  

For more information please view our online safety and procedures.  

Who will be in my child’s class?

Your child will be sharing a class with students who are learning in the same year of study. We also give students a free diagnostic test to assess their level and place them with students of similar ability within their age range.  We try to match students from the same school.  

Our verification process also ensures that your child will always be part of a safe class of like-minded students.  

You can also choose who you would like your child to learn with by using our Buddy-up service.  

What if my child misses a lesson?  

Our students can access to view all lessons they have missed via their student dashboard.   

Will my child be seen by other students?  

Only by choice. Part of our safeguarding policy is to ensure student’s identification and data is protected. Therefore, we mute microphones and switch off cameras before the lesson, giving students the option to enable these themselves at their will.  

Is there a 24 hour cancellation policy?  

Yes. We usually take payment at least 24 hours before lessons. If you cancel within this period, you will not be issued a refund.  

How many people will be in my child’s class?  

A typical classroom size ranges between 3-6 students. We create a far more one to one feel than schools, giving you the opportunity to ask questions directly to the tutor during the lesson.  

The sizes of our classes are the right number to efficiently keep track of how students learn via group work exercises, understand each students’ needs individually, and develop a strong working relationship.  

Do you set homework?  

Yes we do set homework at the end of each week. Students will be given a week to submit their homework online. Their homework will be hand marked by the class tutor and we will provide as much feedback as possible.
