lessons. You can book these private lessons on our online messaging system which works

Once the online lesson is booked with a tutor, you’re able to talk freely over live
video chat which operates similarly to Zoom and FaceTime with an online interactive
whiteboard built in, which both the tutor and student can draw and write on as well as
upload documents to. Our tutors can also use screen share functions to boost your
child's academic potential whilst also having the ability to transfer them lesson notes!

Online tutoring is similar and almost identical to distance learning. Online tutoring is the process of tutoring in an online, virtual, or networked, environment, in which teachers and learners participate from separate physical locations in real time. Say you were looking for a Physics and Maths tutor, you can search Sherpa to fulfill this need. It’s one of the new ways students can reach their full academic potential with the help of experienced teachers online.

and work through at your own pace. Giving you the best chance to get those 9s and A*s.
It is a great idea to set target grades with your tutor.
This gives you both something to work towards and at the end you will be able to see how
much progress you have made.
One-to-one private tutoring boosts a child's confidence but only with the correct
learning style curated by the tutor. This is why finding the best online tutor is
crucial.
New studies show that online learning is not only at least as effective
as face-to-face, but is often even more effective in terms of engagement and retention
rates.
One-to-one online private tutoring boosts a child’s confidence and allows them to tackle
their challenges head on in a friendly environment. Tutoring has proven to help children
pass their exams due to the specific study goals they can set with their tutor and the
focus that comes with being the only one in the class.
Moving tutoring to an online environment like Sherpa allows you to achieve your aims
from home, connect with great tutors and use our online study resources.
Tutor websites and tutoring services like Sherpa also allow you to learn from the
comfort of your own home!
It is like having a home tutor there with you.
Your child can learn online with successful tutors with any subject, anywhere, at any
time.
Allow your child to reach their full potential!
Online tutoring is to work as a hybrid model for teaching alongside pupil's school
curriculums. Throughout a school term there are often various topics that are harder to
understand or get brushed past quickly in the classroom. Whether it be an English
literature text, a tricky maths equation or a crucial exam technique, online tutoring is
there to fill those gaps.
Online tuition will be more sought after in the school holidays. This is because most
online tutors are free during the school holidays and so are the students who are
needing revision sessions. So, remember to book your sessions in advance!
At Sherpa we only pick tutors with the correct teaching experience. It’s all very well
being an extremely knowledgeable person but being able to transfer that
information to the student is one of the most important skills that a tutor must
have. Our tutors have both teaching experience and expert knowledge of
their field.
We personally interview each and every tutor who applies, and only around 1 in 8 tutors
who apply make it onto the platform. The best combination to achieve 9s and A*s.
The cost of online tutoring is quite similar to that of face-to-face tutoring. Most
lessons average around £25-30/per hour but lessons start from £15/per hour.
Sherpa offers a free introduction to establish if the online tutor is right for each
student. Meaning you can meet a couple of tutors to find the best tutor for you!
Many face-to-face tutors are actually more expensive than online tutors. GCSE level
tutors cost an average of £32.50 per hour, and £36 per hour at A-Level. For university
tutors, the average hourly rate was found to be £41 per hour. Music tutors were reported
to charge £32 per hour, and language tutors, £30 per hour.
