How Will I Be Billed?

For 1:1 lessons and group classes – The Education Hotel uses a secure online platform called TutorCruncher to bill clients. Clients input their card details into their TutorCruncher profile to receive invoices and be charged. After each lesson your tutor will bill you and also write a report about the lesson.

All other services (e.g. masterclasses, holiday courses, downloads) will be paid for directly. Please note that with these services, there are no refunds and your child will not be able to swapped to another course.

What is TutorCruncher?

TutorCruncher is our online platform for connecting clients with the right tutors for 1:1 tuition. Once you have decided you would like to use our tuition services, The Education Hotel creates a ‘Job’ on TutorCruncher that tutors can apply for. Once tutors have applied, our location managers hand-select the tutor who is the best fit for your child based on what you told us in your initial consultation call.

Once you receive tuition with us, you can log on to TutorCruncher to view regular lesson reports from your tutor to track your child’s progress. See how to use Tutorcruncher below.

When Do Lessons Take Place?

We have a range of services to suit your availability, from online tuition, group courses, home education programmes and residential overseas tuition. The majority of our 1:1 lessons take place after school or during weekends.

Can My Tutor Come To My House?

This is location-dependent, but our tutors do teach in person if we have someone nearby. Travel expenses will be added to the cost of this service. Visit our In-Person Tuition page to find out more. We also offer bespoke Residential Tuition (please email info@educationhotel.co.uk for details).

What Do I Do If My Family is Based Outside The UK?

We have many international clients worldwide who use our popular Online Tuition Services. We also offer bespoke Residential Tuition (please email info@educationhotel.co.uk for details).

What Happens If I Don’t Like My Tutor?

It happens rarely, but sometimes a tutor might not be the right fit for your family. We have an initial 15 minute call available for all of our 1:1 tuition to allow you to speak with your tutor before the first lesson. If after this 15 minute call, you are dissatisfied with the tutor we will ask you what needs to improved. Usually, issues with a placement can be resolved in discussion between The Education Hotel and the tutor, and the placement can then continue on the right track. Clear and open communication is the most important thing.

Online Vs in-person – What Are The Benefits?

Online Tuition has the benefit of flexibility in the modern day. It can be taught anywhere – all you need is a laptop or tablet, and you’re ready to go. Tutors can send resources to students using an online whiteboard that can be saved and brought up again for easy revision. This service is our most popular!

In-Person Tuition allows tutors to engage students with science experiments, board games and physical activity. They can present knowledge differently than in the classroom. Our students love seeing their tutors each week and often ask to see them more than once. However, this service is location-dependent.

1:1 Vs Group Programmes – What Are The Benefits?

Group programmes – run weekly during term time or daily during the holidays. Groups offer a way to work with other students, offering shared accountability and moral support from other students. Group tuition helps students gain confidence and encourages healthy competition between students, assisting them in pushing themselves further. Group tuition can also offer less pressure on a student, who can learn from the other students in the class.

1:1 tuition – can be delivered at your chosen time and focuses only on your child. 1:1 tuition allows lessons to be personalised to your child’s interests. Your tutor is a mentor, coach and teacher.

What Qualifications Will My Tutor Have?

All our tutors come from the highest academic backgrounds, specialising in a full array of subjects at all levels. Prospective tutors are carefully screened, DBS checked and interviewed by our Director before becoming a tutor. We work with a small network of highly trusted tutors, only actively seeking out new employees when our clients have specific needs.

Visit our Meet The Tutors page to see just a handful of our popular tutors and their qualifications.

Clients can also see tutors’ qualifications on our online platform, TutorCruncher.

How Long Does It Take To Find a Tutor?

Depending on the specialism of the subject, this timescale can vary. However, for core subjects, we aim to have several suitable tutors to offer clients within a week.

Which Subjects Do You Offer? Can My Child Learn Music, Art or Pottery?

Here, at The Education Hotel, we focus on core academic subjects and hire tutors accordingly. However, if you’d like to explore other avenues, we have a wide range of connections to find the right tutor for the job.

Your Client Manager will help you select the best tutor(s) for your needs. We interview all our tutors individually, and take feedback from every student they work with, so we’re in a great position to recommend the right tutor for you. Once we have all taken your requirements, tutors with relevant experience will let us know how they can help you, and we’ll help select the best to introduce to you. Ultimately, however, the choice will be yours, so do ask our team for any information you need.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer trial sessions, but you will have a chance to speak to your tutor before your first session, usually for around 15 minutes, to discuss your requirements in more detail and to help them prepare properly for your time together.
