Our system requires a minimum of 4 lessons, and there is not limit on the amount of lessons you can book or extend with a teacher. We do this to ensure effective learning. In many cases, 4 hours of tutoring is considered the minimum amount of time needed to make a significant impact on a student's learning. With this amount of time, the tutor can work with the student to identify areas of weakness, develop a personalized learning plan, and provide ample opportunity for practice and feedback. This can lead to more effective learning outcomes for the student.
