How does online tutoring work for a practical subject like D&T?

Our online classroom is designed for subjects just like this. Tutors use an interactive whiteboard to sketch designs, share resources, and review coursework in real-time. It's a highly effective and collaborative way for your child to get expert feedback on their practical projects.

What if my child's schedule is already really busy?

That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not limited to local tutors' schedules. You can find a tutor who is available when your child is, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays, fitting learning around your life.
