How are online English classes delivered?
All English tuition online is delivered through Zoom, a secure and reliable platform. Lessons are interactive, with screen sharing, document annotation and real-time feedback to replicate the benefits of face-to-face tuition. Learners receive clear explanations, personalised guidance and access to shared resources throughout the session. Lessons are carefully structured to include discussion, practice tasks and feedback, so that learners remain engaged and make visible progress each week. Zoom allows work to be reviewed together in real time, creating a collaborative classroom environment from the comfort of the learner’s home. External tuition providers use their own secure and reliable platforms.
11.
How is progress tracked during online lessons?
We use Google Docs as a collaborative workspace, where learners write and edit while Devyani provides feedback in real time. This allows students to respond immediately to guidance, refine their work during the lesson, and build stronger writing habits. Each draft is saved, creating a clear record of progress over time that can be revisited for reflection and revision. This not only makes progress measurable and visible, but also gives parents the opportunity to see evidence of their child’s development and how their writing has improved across sessions. Google Docs also supports independent learning between lessons, as learners can continue working on shared documents and return to them in the following session for further feedback and refinement.
12.
Is English tuition online safe?
Yes. All Zoom sessionsor external provider platformsare password-protected and hosted securely. Devyani holds full DBS clearance, completes safeguarding training every year, and is a member of The Tutors’ Association. Families can be assured that every session is safe, professional, and conducted to the highest standards.
13.
Do you provide resources outside of lessons?
Yes. Learners receive bespoke resources and examiner-style feedback to guide their progress. Homework is set regularly to consolidate learning and may include completing English GCSE worksheets, practising exam-style questions, research tasks, or creative writing exercises. These tasks are reviewed in the following lesson so that progress can be tracked and gaps addressed.
Where appropriate, we also suggest reliablerevision guides and wider reading to support independent study, ensuring learners have access to high-quality resources that complement their tuition. Extra practice materials are provided as needed, and our blog offers additional tips on revision, online English writing, and exam preparation.
