What exactly is your program?

123 Tuition is a highly structured, user friendly, online teaching system specifically created to support the New Zealand curriculum.

How much does the program cost?

The cost of the programme varies from family to family. The reason for this is that each programme is structured around each family’s particular circumstances. Therefore depending on the number of children in the family, their ages, current ability levels and how much, or little, of the programme is relevant for each family, the costs will vary quite considerably.

What is the curriculum?

123 Tuition provides home-based tuition and support for children aged between 4 and 16 and can represent a far more cost effective alternative to private maths tutors for learning maths and English tutors for learning English or Centre based alternatives.

Does 123 Tuition support the curriculum?

Yes, 123 Tuition is 100% aligned to the New Zealand curriculum. 123 Tuition can help parents understand in more detail the content and practices of the education system, in primary intermediate and high schools across New Zealand.

How is 123 Tuition different to a private tutor?

123 Tuition will be available to you 24 hours a day, every day, for all the children in your family to use again and again, as much as they need to and in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

How long will 123 Tuition last?

The length of time it takes to complete an 123 Tuition programme is, of course, dependant on how many topics and year groups you choose to purchase. However, this is again dependent on each family’s particular circumstances and will vary considerably depending on the number of children in a family, their ages and current achievement levels.

Can we stop and restart using 123 Tuition any time?

Children should, on average, watch one or two lessons a week, but if they need to stop for a brief period such as a family holiday, that’s fine. Although, please remember that your 123 Tuition is specifically there to help your children improve and ultimately reach their full learning potential.

Is everything explained clearly and accurately to parents?

Our Course Advisors explain everything about 123 Tuition extremely clearly and accurately as part of the initial assessment visit, including how it all works, which parts would be suitable for the family, the costs and other alternative options.

Am I expected to help my child with their 123 Tuition work at home?

YES if you want to and NO if you don’t. Many parents choose to watch the 123 Tuition lessons with their children but older children can watch the lessons and complete the exercises on their own.

I’ve heard some schools send some information out about 123 Tuition – why is this?

These days, parents often seek additional private tuition or further support for their children and from time to time approach their children’s school for guidance. Many schools have passed on information about 123 Tuition, which they feel may be helpful to some parents.

Can I receive further information about 123 Tuition?

Of course you can. However, as 123 Tuition uses audio visual teaching methods combined with cutting edge technology to deliver the teaching and support direct to your family home, our advice is always that it really needs to be seen and experienced first hand in order to be certain that it is right for you and your family.
