How a session runs

A long table, a small group and a tutor who listens.

01

Up to ten at the table

Up to ten learners, and up to eight in the discussion groups. Maths Tutoring Online is one to one. Each program page says which.

02

Miss a week, arrive ready

Tell your tutor before the session. You get the notes and the week’s short activity, so you arrive ready for the next one.

03

Notes on the table, nothing recorded

Live sessions are not recorded, so everybody can speak freely. Your tutor shares written notes after each one.
