Our aim is to help students and provide them a platform to gain access to professional tutors, which will enable them to begin and continue their learnings and development through online based lessons. We are able to tailor lessons to your specific needs, giving you the opportunity to study online from experienced professionals.
This is how it works:
Registration
Select subject
Select No. of lessons
Select time & date
Payment
Join lesson
Our existing students are already registered and new students who wish to get registered have to fill a registration form (available online) and e-mail it to us. Once we receive the form, our supervisor will contact and discuss the subjects, lessons and available time & date and finalise the lesson & payment plan. Opon receiving discussed payment, a link will be sent one hour before the class. Students will be able to join online class by clicking on the sent link.
