How much teaching experience do your online tutors have?

All our tutors are highly experienced in maths and English tuition. Your child’s online tutor is an extensively qualified teacher with in-depth knowledge of how to best support learning objectives.

How do you test my child’s subject knowledge?
When you first subscribe to Estia, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of your child’s current education levels in maths and English. This helps us to build an individualised programme that directly addresses the gaps in their knowledge.

Also, our sophisticated system provides plenty of opportunities throughout each lesson for your child to test their knowledge so that they know what they need to work on to improve their overall understanding and skills.

You will get access to comprehensive reports on your child’s progress so that you can see how we are testing their knowledge and what their current performance is. This can help you as a parent determine where you can help to get your child to a level that is appropriate for their age.
Do you offer science tuition?

We don’t currently offer science tuition services. However, we are always looking for ways to improve our services and provide the best possible learning experience for children.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or feedback you have regarding improvements we can make to our online tuition to meet your needs.

What is distance learning?

Put simply, distance learning is any environment where a student learns outside of the traditional classroom.

The online tuition your child receives through Estia is considered distance learning as they are not present in a classroom. However, we have worked hard to design a programme and system that mimics the engaging and immersive environment of the classroom experience.

Will my child be a part of a small group?

Our aim at Estia is to provide a fresh take on traditional online tuition. For this reason, your child will not be a part of a small group and will instead have one-on-one sessions with an online tutor.

Our platform lets students engage in self-study and development using their personalised plan. This means they can learn at their own pace but still have regular check-ins with their online tutor.

We believe in empowering our students to expand their knowledge and understanding by working through their tailored lesson plans as it suits them. However, their online tutor can be reached anytime if they have questions or require guidance.

When are your Freephone online tutors available?
Our experienced online tutors are available to help with school and homework at the following times:
  • • Weekdays from 4 pm to 7 pm, including school holidays.
  • • Saturdays from 10 am to 1 pm, including school holidays.
You and your child can access your online tutor as often as needed. All calls are recorded so your child can reference the session anytime.
Why maths and English?

Maths and English aren’t just popular subjects, they’re the foundation of education. The skills, knowledge and experience that students develop when learning maths and English are vital to excelling in other subjects too.

Science, geography and many additional subjects require the basic knowledge and skills that come from maths and English to be fully understood.

What is blended learning?

Each child has a unique way of learning. Some prefer to read, while others learn best with a hands-on approach. Some children learn better by being actively involved, while others want to sit back and let the teacher demonstrate concepts.

For this reason, we’ve created a blended learning system that incorporates all learning styles and preferences. This results in highly engaging and interactive learning that helps students to better understand and retain information.

Why should I choose Estia?

Unlike other online tutoring platforms, Estia is designed to meet your child’s needs based on where they currently are. Our programmes are specially designed to address your child’s current level of knowledge and improve upon that in time.

What truly sets us apart from the rest is that we’ve established a learning system that supports every level of understanding and knowledge rather than basing our education on what we assume your child should know at a certain school age.
