Make sure you have your ticket and are not left out in the cold โ๏ธ
Come one, come all, come celebrate, the finest tutors in the land and wait with baited breathe to see who will win the prize so grand. Why yes it is the TOTY awards and while only one can win the prize, each and every tutor at GoStudent, is a winner in our eyes ๐๐
โ๏ธLessons during the Christmas period โ๏ธ
Whether you and/or your students are taking some well-deserved time off over Christmas, or whether you are carrying on as normal - be sure to book in all of your student's lessons credits before their renewal date is due!
Remember, before the renewal date it only matters that the lessons are booked in, not used up. So if you do not have time in December for extra lessons, use the credits to book in lessons for January.
๐ก New feature - Request Sessions ๐ก - live now!
Help your students never run out of sessions again with our newest feature, the "Request Sessions" button. If you see that your students often runs of out credits, and/or your student has asked for more sessions in a subject, click on the "Request Session" button and our Customer Support team will take care of the rest. Read more about it in the Updates page.

Your favourite thing about tutoring with GoStudent? The variety of wonderful students you get to meet, then being able to tailor their learning and see them progress ๐
Your best study tip? No matter what you're learning, try to make sure that you're able to enjoy it in one way or another. Learning something that you're engaged in is infinitely easier than learning something that you are not. ๐
