👨🏫 Trial Session Experts 👩🏫
What is it? We are in the pilot phase with a handful of selected tutors. They conduct an Expert Trial Session and have close communication with our team.
How does this impact me? In short, no action is needed from your end. However, you may see an increase of students coming your way who are regular students already so there is no need to do a trial with them. However, you will receive detailed and specific information about the student before your lesson to help prepare you!
➗ Calling all Maths tutors ➗
GoStudent is partnering with maths AI assessment provider, Eedi! Students will now have the option to complete a 'free assessment' before their trial lesson to identify the areas they need support with.What does this mean for you?This means in some cases your programme manager will attach a link to the student's Eedi maths report before your trial lesson, so you already have a firm grounding on the areas the student is confident in, as well as topics they need to focus on. You can use this report to structure your trial lesson ahead of the class, so you can meet your new student with confidence. At the moment, the Eedi assessment programme is available for maths students between the ages 9-14 (KS2/KS3).
❄️The holidays are coming! ❄️
We will soon be sharing some information about Christmas challenges and tips on how to manage your students over the festive period.
In the meantime, communication is key! Begin to have conversations with all your students about their holiday plans and book in your lessons/arrange your schedule accordingly.

What is your favourite subject? English obviously, but I really like Politics as well! 📚
Hobbies: I love to hike, listen to music, explore new places and write music reviews 🚶🏽♀️🎵
A fun fact about yourself: I was a child model for Tesco kids clothes 👚
Your favourite thing about tutoring with GoStudent? How flexible it is! I'm allowed to be my own boss, in charge of my own hours and able to make money whilst being anywhere in the world! I also love being able to connect with young people and having fun whilst teaching them English! 🌍
Your best study tip? Be organised. It's the first step to successful studying. Prioritise what you need to and block out time for each task. It'll make sure you're being productive with your time and ultimately not ending up all flustered! 😊
