Why Online Tuition?
The advantages of face to face tuition are well known but online tuition has as many, if not more advantages-
- It combines tradition with modernity -students are familiar and comfortable with technology. Star Student embraces the technology that students already use.
- Convenience- with homework piling up, after school activities crowding your child's time time not to mention the dark and cold nights, being tutored in the comfort of your own home is an attractive option.
- Students can work where and when suits them - all they need is access to a laptop.
- Having tutored many pupils on a one to one basis, there is no doubt that after half an hour or so both the tutor's and pupil's energies and concentration are flagging . With Star Student, the key points are put across in a succinct way.
- Cost - face to face tuition is now often £35 an hour and upwards. Star Student is £19.99 each week and with the detailed feedback and focus on exam techniques, it offers great value for money.
- It prepares them for university -uploading work and remote contact with tutors in now part of university courses.
Testimonials
As a parent I only wish I had found Star Student earlier! It was a tremendous help to my son when he was sitting his Higher English. His Critical Essays and Close Reading skills improved dramatically. In particular he was taught exam technique which I have no doubt helped him to achieve his final result. I will not hesitate to contact Deany and Star Student when my daughter is sitting Higher English .

The beauty of online tuition is that you don't have to leave the house - that's really quite a bonus when you live in a rural location, have a busy house, work commitments and other family members to juggle. Cameron just got on with it himself - I occasionally logged into his classroom and had a look at what was happening but it all seemed to be going on without any demands on me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Star Student .

Last year I was in the same position as most of you guys, worrying about Higher English, especially due to the fact that I needed an A to get into my course at university. Not only did my English teacher predict me a C but my family had little faith! I heard about Star Student through my mum and thought any help in trying to achieve my A was better than trying to power through myself. I also liked the idea of not having to go to someone's house and was able to keep in contact with Deany though skype which was a very successful way of communicating and discussing my plan for getting my A. I was able to log on and send Deany close reading texts and essays and always received a prompt reply, keeping my interest going. With the help and encouragement I received from Deany I not only started to enjoy English, but much to the amazement of all I managed to gain my A in higher English and I am now in my 3rd month at university. So everyone who is worrying about achieving a good English mark, don't give up and don't hesitate to seek help from Star Student.
