PAL’s Academy
Private Tutoring
The process

Calm in. Confident out.

We don’t reinvent tutoring. We just do four boring things very, very well.

The method

A simple sequence, executed without exception.

01

Free 20-minute consultation

We meet you and your student, listen carefully, and diagnose where the actual gap is — not where the report card says it is.

02

Matched with your tutor

We hand-pick the tutor whose subject mastery, temperament, and schedule fit your student. Same tutor, every week.

03

Weekly live sessions

60-minute Google Meet sessions with notes, follow-ups, and a clear plan toward the next test, exam, or application.

04

Visible progress

Monthly recap to parents. If we aren't on track, we say so first — and we adjust before you have to ask.

How we vet our tutors

We don’t list tutors. We match them.

Every tutor passes a three-stage process before they ever meet a student. It is deliberately hard to get through — that is the point.

01

Subject-mastery screening

A current educator verifies deep command of the exact course — 90+ in the subject, or its university equivalent, and the ability to explain a concept several different ways.

02

Structured teaching trial

A live trial session, not just an interview. We watch how they diagnose a gap, pace an explanation, and keep a hesitant student engaged.

03

Onboarding to our framework

Only then are they onboarded to our session structure and progress-tracking system — so every family gets the same standard of care, not a different experience per tutor.

What a typical session looks like

Sixty focused minutes, every week.

Sessions run live on Google Meet with a shared whiteboard. The shape is the same each week, so students always know what to expect.

First 5 minutes

Review the week — what landed, what didn't, what's coming up on the calendar.

Next 45 minutes

Targeted concept work and problem practice on exactly what the student is being assessed on.

Final 10 minutes

Set the week's task and send a short session note to parents, so you always know what happened.

The monthly progress report

You always know where your student stands.

Once a month, parents receive a written progress report. If we are not on track, we say so — and we course-correct proactively, before you have to ask.

Topics covered

Exactly what we worked through, mapped to the course.

Gaps identified

Where the real weaknesses are — and which ones we've closed.

Confidence trajectory

How the student is actually feeling about the subject, not just the marks.

Focus for next month

The plan ahead, tied to upcoming tests, exams, or applications.
