Frequently Asked Questions

60 minutes.

Lessons can run whenever suits you, 7 days a week.

TLC LIVE provide lessons up to GCSE level across core subjects and humanities. Lessons can also run for EAL students.

Yes! This is the whole point of TLC LIVE. The tutor will identify the student’s learning needs and skill gaps and build an individual learning plan around these requirements.

As often as you like! But we need to teach a student on at least a weekly basis in order to make a difference.

No. Pupils receive plenty of homework from schools. We prefer learning to take place during the session.

We have our own targeted educational content that we update on a daily basis. For example, we ensure that our English activities always related to topical issues and events, which helps inspire our reluctant writers!

During each session, a student works one-on-one with a qualified tutor who presents and tests new skills. There may be up to two other students, in separate break out rooms, who are taught by the same tutor during the same session. However, each student works on his/her own lessons, and students can’t interact with each other.

The teacher and the student will be able to talk to each other in real time in the TLC LIVE virtual classroom where they can communicate with each other whilst using the TLC educational content.

1. A wider pool of teachers to choose from across the UK
2. The convenience of being tutored from home or at school
3. Building a student’s confidence using technology as a new way to learn

Yes, we can definitely help! We believe that confidence and learning are closely linked. Everything we say and do is very positive and builds self-esteem.

Tutors work with students in real time, guiding students through new skills or reviewing skills the students may have forgotten. As students work on lessons to demonstrate understanding, and eventually mastery, of these skills, tutors will monitor their progress.

Tutors leave feedback after each lesson providing information on the students’ performance and progress. Parents can log on to our website and check the feedback left by the tutor.

This is something that TLC LIVE takes very seriously. All our tutors are thoroughly reviewed with enhanced external DBS, verification of ID status, references, qualifications and experience. Read more on our Safeguarding page.

All lessons can be cancelled or rearranged with 24 hours notice. This gives you the freedom to use TLC LIVE as and when you need it whether one-off revision sessions or regular lessons for the student.

Any lesson that needs to be cancelled or rearranged can be done so with 24 hours notice. Whether this is to change a student’s timetable permanently or simply for a one off lesson, we can support to make sure the lessons are running at a time that best suits the needs of the student.
