Your Free 20-Minute Consultation: What Really Happens
Beyond the Sales Pitch: A Real Planning Session
Let’s address the elephant in the room. You’re probably thinking: “What’s the catch with this free consultation?”
We get it. Too many “free” calls turn into high-pressure sales pitches that leave you feeling overwhelmed and none the wiser about what your child actually needs.
Our 20-minute consultations are different. They’re genuine planning sessions designed to understand your child’s unique situation and create a clear roadmap for their success. No hidden agendas, no pushy tactics—just expert guidance when you need it most.
The Problem with Generic Consultations
Most tutoring consultations fall into predictable traps:
Wasted time with generic conversations that could apply to any child, leaving you with vague promises but no concrete next steps.
Pushy sales tactics where the focus shifts from your child’s needs to package prices and sign-up deadlines.
Lack of follow-through with no real plan, no accountability measures, and no clear understanding of how progress will be measured.
Our 4-Step Consultation Process
Step 1: The Listening Phase (5 minutes)
We start by truly hearing your concerns. Recent exam wobbles? Confidence dips? Specific subject struggles? This isn’t tick-box questioning—it’s genuine understanding of where your child is right now.
Step 2: Curriculum Alignment (5 minutes)
We map your child’s current situation against the specific demands of Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5. What are the key milestones coming up? Where are the potential stumbling blocks? This is where our curriculum expertise really shines.
Step 3: Format Recommendation (5 minutes)
Based on your child’s personality, learning style, and family logistics, we’ll recommend whether Solo, Group, or Live tuition will serve them best. This isn’t about our preferences—it’s about what works for your child.
Step 4: Your Tailored Action Plan (5 minutes)
We’ll outline a clear schedule with specific milestones, explain our pricing structure transparently, and arrange your FREE Grade Booster™ session that comes with every 11-week enrollment.
How to Make the Most of Your Consultation
Gather recent evidence: Have those test papers, school reports, or teacher feedback handy. The more we understand your child’s current situation, the better we can help.
List your burning questions: What keeps you awake at night worrying about your child’s academic future? These concerns will shape our entire conversation.
Know your priorities: Are you most concerned about grades, confidence, study habits, or exam technique? Being clear about your goals helps us tailor everything perfectly.
Come with an open mind: Sometimes the solution isn’t what you initially expected. Trust our experience in matching children with the approach that transforms their learning.
