Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try just a few sessions to start with?
Yes, you can start by committing only to two sessions. But keep in mind that a reasonable part of the first session revolves around getting to know your tutor, introducing the platform and learning content, and your tutor understanding your needs. The first session is less content intensive than subsequent sessions, hence students should do at least two sessions to start with. Regardless, you are never locked into a long term contract at Tutor Lim and you can choose to have as much or as little tutoring as you desire.
Will I get the same tutor for my sessions?
By default, yes! Once we allocate a tutor for you, he/she will support you throughout the term/semester. If your tutor is on leave or your availability changes, we’ll match you with another suitable tutor and update them on students’ progress. We keep in touch regularly to discuss your tutor preferences, and any potential changes.
Do the tutors tailor the content and personalise it for students?
Yes. During your first Tutor Lim session, your tutor will gauge your level of skills and knowledge and identify any strengths and weaknesses they have. We then customise a personalised learning plan for the student, tailored to his/her areas of need. This plan can be updated after every learning session.
Do you offer a free trial?
We don’t offer free trials, but we offer a Stater Pack discount.
