Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our tutoring services. Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out to our team.
AtGlobal Tutors, we do not offer a single trial session. Instead, we recommend starting with a5-session package. This approach allows enough time for the tutor tobuild rapportwith your child, develop atailored strategy plan, and gain a deeper understanding of their needs. Five sessions give both the tutor and your child an opportunity to establish a learning rhythm and determine if they are a good fit for each other.
We believe that a single session may not provide enough time to accurately assess the effectiveness of the tutoring relationship. With five sessions, your child will have sufficient time to engage fully in the learning process, and the tutor can identify areas for improvement or growth. This longer engagement allows for a moreholistic evaluation, ensuring that the chosen tutor is well-suited to your child’s learning style and goals.
If, after completing the package, you feel that the tutor is not the right match, we will work with you to find another tutor who better fits your child’s needs.
Online English tutoring is an excellent choice for many students, particularly those who thrive inflexible, technology-driven environments. If your child is comfortable using digital platforms and can engage through virtual lessons, online tutoring may be a perfect fit. It provides a personalised andconvenient learning experiencethat is accessible from anywhere, making it ideal for students withbusy schedulesor who may need extra academic support beyond school hours.
Additionally, online English tutoring works well for children who benefit fromone-on-one attentionbut may feel more comfortable learning from the safety of their home environment. The key to success with online tutoring is thequality of the English tutor, and at Global Tutors, we ensure your child is matched with a professional who fits their learning style and academic goals.
If your child needsfocused supportin English, particularly if they’re preparing for international opportunities or struggling in school, our personalised online ESL tutoring could be the perfect solution.
AtGlobal Tutors, we understand that some students may need ongoing support even after completing a tutoring package. If your child has finished their sessions but requires additional lessons to continue their progress, we offer flexible options to ensure their learning journey remains consistent.
You can choose to eitherpurchase a new packageof sessions or set your child’s tutoring plan toauto-renew. By selecting the auto-renew option, your child’s sessions will continue seamlessly without interruption, and you won’t need to manually book new packages each time. Simply let our team know that you’d like to opt for auto-renew, and we’ll ensure your child’s package renews automatically until you notify us to cancel or adjust the plan.
One of the key benefits of continuing with Global Tutors is that your child can remain with thesame tutorwho has already built a strong relationship with them. This consistency allows the tutor to build on the progress your child has already made, ensuring that their learning remains focused and uninterrupted. The tutor will already be familiar with your child’s strengths, challenges, and preferred learning style, making the continuation of lessons more effective.
If your child has newgoals or interests—such as preparing for an important exam, working on a specific subject area, or pursuing a new passion—we encourage open discussions with both the tutor and our team. This allows us to tailor the tutoring sessions to these evolving needs. If it’s determined that your child would benefit from a different tutor with specialised expertise for a particular goal, we can easily match your child with anew tutorwho is better suited to their current academic objectives.
AtGlobal Tutors, we understand that the relationship between a tutor and student is crucial for effective learning. While we take great care in matching your child with the most suitable tutor based on theiracademic goals, learning style, and personality, we also recognise that there may be instances where the fit is not ideal. If you feel that the tutor selected for your child is not meeting their needs or aligning with your expectations, we are committed to making adjustments to ensure the best possible learning experience.
Our goal is to create a positive and productive tutoring environment for every student, so if you feel the current tutor is not the right fit, you can request a change. The process is simple and straightforward. First, we encourage you to communicate any concerns with us directly. You can reach out to oursupport teamor discuss the issue during a feedback session with your tutor. This allows us to understand your concerns and see if there are anyimmediate adjustmentsthat can be made, such as modifying teaching methods or lesson plans, which might resolve the issue.
However, if after this discussion you still feel that the tutor is not the right match for your child, we will gladly work with you to find anew tutor. Our database of highly qualified ESL tutors gives us the flexibility to match your child with another educator who better aligns with their learning needs. We will present several new tutor profiles for you to review, ensuring you feel confident in the final selection.
AtGlobal Tutors, we understand that schedules can change, and we aim to offer as much flexibility as possible. To ensure that everyone is on the same page, we have a clearcancellation and rescheduling policyin place, designed to respect both the student’s and tutor’s time.
Forcancellations, we require that notice be given at least24 hours in advanceof the scheduled session. This allows us to adjust the tutor’s availability and offer the time slot to other students. If a cancellation is made with less than 24 hours’ notice, the session will be marked as amissed session, and no refund will be provided. This policy is in place to respect the time and effort tutors put into preparing for each lesson, ensuring that they are fairly compensated for their time.
Forrescheduling, we also request that changes be made at least24 hours beforethe session. This provides flexibility for families to adjust their schedules while giving tutors sufficient time to rearrange theirs. If a rescheduling request is made after the 24-hour window, it may be treated as a missed session unless a suitable time can be arranged with the tutor. We strive to be as accommodating as possible, but respecting these timeframes helps keep everything running smoothly for both students and tutors.
If atutor needs to cancela session, we will notify you as soon as possible. In such cases, you will have the option toreschedulethe session at a mutually convenient time, or, if rescheduling is not possible, the session will berefunded or creditedtoward future sessions.
In the event that a tutor is no longer available to tutor your child due to unforeseen circumstances,Global Tutorswill promptly work torematch your child with another qualified tutor. We will carefully select a replacement tutor who fits your child’s learning style and academic goals to ensure continuity in their learning journey. The new tutor will be fully briefed on your child’s progress to minimise disruption and help them transition smoothly into the remaining sessions.
Ouronline platformallows you to manage bookings, cancellations, and rescheduling easily, ensuring you have control over your child’s tutoring schedule. Should you need further assistance, oursupport teamis always available to help.
Once your child begins their tutoring sessions, the assigned tutor will create apersonalised learning planbased on your child’s unique goals and needs. This plan serves as a roadmap for their progress, outlining specific areas of focus such as improving grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, or exam preparation. The tutor will setshort-term goalsfor each session andlong-term objectivesthat align with your child’s academic requirements and aspirations.
We also offermore detailed progress reportsat key intervals, such as after every 5, 8 or 12 sessions, depending on the tutoring package you’ve selected. These reports offer a more comprehensive overview of your child’s performance, tracking improvement in specific skills over time. They highlight areas where your child has shown significant progress and areas where further focus may be required. These reports are designed to give parents a clear understanding of their child’s learning trajectory and to facilitate conversations between the tutor, student, and parents about next steps.
For students, feedback is provided in an encouraging and constructive manner. Tutors not only point out areas that need improvement but also celebrate the student’s successes to keep them motivated and confident.
AtGlobal Tutors, we prioritise the quality of tutoring to ensure that each student receives the best possible support to achieve their academic goals. To maintain our high standards, we have a comprehensive process in place for selecting, training, and continuously evaluating our tutors.
First and foremost, all of our tutors arehighly qualified professionalswith specialised expertise in teachingEnglish as a Second Language (ESL). They hold recognised certifications such asTEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language),TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), orCELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). These qualifications ensure that our tutors are not only proficient in the English language but also trained in effective teaching methods tailored to students learning English as a second language.
Additionally, many of our tutors have further educational qualifications, such asBachelor’s Degrees in EducationorPostgraduate Certificates in Education (PGCE), as well as extensive experience working with students in grades4 to 12. This background allows them to understand the specific needs of students at various academic levels and tailor their lessons accordingly. We also require our tutors to have astrong command of Englishin all areas, including grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and spoken fluency.
Beyond qualifications, we implement a rigoroustutor selection process. Each tutor undergoes thorough screening, including interviews and assessments, to ensure they meet our high standards of teaching expertise, professionalism, and interpersonal skills. Once selected, tutors receive onboarding and training to familiarise them with ouronline platform, lesson structure, and the educational resources we use.
To maintain quality throughout the tutoring process, we also conductongoing evaluations. Regular feedback is gathered from both students and parents, allowing us to monitor the effectiveness of each tutor’s teaching methods. Additionally, our tutors are encouraged to participate inprofessional development opportunitiesto stay updated with the latest ESL teaching strategies and educational tools.
If a tutor becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances—whether for personal reasons, illness, or other commitments—we will act quickly to find asuitable replacement tutor. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible. We take the same care and consideration during this replacement process as we do when initially matching your child with a tutor. This means we will search our extensive network of qualified ESL tutors to find someone who matches your child’s learning style, academic needs, and goals.
Once a potential replacement tutor is identified, we will introduce them to your family, providing a profile of their qualifications and teaching style. This allows both parents and students to feel comfortable with the new tutor before continuing with the remaining sessions. If you feel the suggested tutor is not the right fit, we are more than happy topresent additional candidatesto ensure you are satisfied with the match.
We also take care to ensure that thenew tutor is fully briefedon your child’s progress so far. All previous session records, progress reports, and any relevant information will be shared with the new tutor, allowing them to seamlessly pick up where the previous tutor left off. This ensures that the learning plan remains consistent and your child’s progress stays on track.
Yes, atGlobal Tutors, all tutoring sessions are recorded for bothquality assuranceandsafety purposes. This policy ensures that every session meets our high standards and provides peace of mind to both parents and students, knowing that all interactions between tutors and students are transparent and monitored.
These recordings serve multiple important functions. First and foremost, they help us maintain asafe and professional learning environment. As a fully online tutoring service, it is crucial that all sessions are conducted respectfully and appropriately, with tutors adhering to our strict safeguarding policies. Recording sessions allows us toreview any concernsraised by parents, students, or tutors and act swiftly if any issues arise, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for learning.
From aquality controlperspective, session recordings are also used to ensure that tutors are delivering the best possible educational experience. Periodic reviews of these recordings allow us to assess teaching methods, monitor student engagement, and ensure that lessons are aligned with the academic goals set out for each student. If any inconsistencies or areas for improvement are identified, we can providefeedbackto tutors, helping them refine their approach to better meet the needs of their students.
Another key benefit of session recordings is that they can be used toresolve disputesor misunderstandings. For example, if there is a disagreement about attendance, lesson content, or behaviour during a session, we can review the recording to get a clear understanding of what occurred. This process ensures that both tutors and students are held accountable, and any concerns can be addressed fairly and transparently.
All recordings arestored securelyon our platform and are only accessible to authorised personnel for the purposes mentioned above. We takeprivacy and data securityvery seriously, ensuring that recordings are handled in compliance with local and international data protection laws, such asSouth Africa’s POPIAandAustralia’s Privacy Act.
