Based on the test results, the tutor would have a clear insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the student. The Academic Director then designs a tutoring model customized to address the student's specific skill gaps.
The one-on-one interaction between the tutor and student helps provide personalized instruction. The tutors provide invaluable insights into the exam preparation methods. Student's participation asking doubts are very important for improvement. The tutors explain the concepts until the student demonstrates understanding.
A combination of one-on-one interaction, targeted homework assignments and evaluation tests help the students sharpen their skills. Practice tests given after the classes allow the tutors to assess the student's progress and help them evolve the key skills required in tackling the exams. Our tutoring program openly discusses the student's test results.
