Frequently asked questions

How much does an NCEA English tutor cost?

Each tutor sets their own price, which you see on their profile before booking. You can filter tutors by price, and your first lesson is free, so you can try a tutor before committing.

Are lessons online?

Yes. Lessons take place online by video with a shared whiteboard, so you can work with a tutor who knows the NCEA syllabus wherever you live.

When should I start preparing for NCEA English?

Ideally at the start of the school year, so internal assessments are done well before the November exams. A few weeks of focused lessons can still lift a grade if time is short.

How do I know a tutor knows the NCEA syllabus?

Tutors list the exams they prepare students for on their profile. Read their profile and reviews, and use your free first lesson to ask how they approach NCEA English.
