Why Petra

A tutor in the lesson,
a team behind it.

At Petra Tutors, we consider the tutor, your child's goals, the teaching approach and what we share with you after each lesson.

Our approach

Speaking, EIKEN and international school support,
planned around your child.

  1. 1

    Understand the goal and starting point

    We ask what feels difficult, when the test is and whether anything at school is causing concern.

  2. 2

    Suggest a suitable tutor

    We consider English level, personality, goals and how your child learns.

  3. 3

    Report after each lesson

    We explain what the lesson covered and what to work on next.

  4. 4

    Adjust when needed

    As your child progresses, we can revisit the tutor, content and pace.

Why Petra Tutors

Alongside suggesting a tutor, we consider how your child learns best.

  1. Work back from the goal

    For EIKEN, speaking or international school support, we plan what to study now based on the goal.

  2. Support beyond the lesson

    We keep track of how the tutor match is working and can adjust the content or suggest a different tutor if needed.

  3. Progress you can see

    We share what each lesson covered and what comes next, so you can follow their progress at home.

What the support looks like

Real examples: learning plans, post-lesson reports and tutor matching.

Tutor matching example

A tutor suited to your child and their goals

We consider English level, personality, pace and your preferences, then suggest a tutor your child may work well with.

Lesson note

Shared with parents

What today's lesson covered

We practised EIKEN Grade 3 reading and short answers for the interview.

Today's aim

Finding evidence in the text

Went well

Found answers in the text

Next time

Giving reasons in English

1

What went well

Practised identifying the sentence in the passage that supports each answer.

2

Still to practise

Giving a fuller reason after “because”.

3

Before the next lesson

Review five words from today and practise giving a short answer within two minutes.

Note for parents

Today, they took the time to return to the text instead of rushing their answer. Next time, we will use an interview format and practise giving slightly longer reasons.

Petra in Practice
