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.

Online Vs In-person Tutoring – Which is Right for You?

Online Tutoring

Online tutoring can be a great option for busy families who need to have a flexible study plan.

Pros

Online tutoring is super flexible, and it can be completed from anywhere. For families who lead busy lives, this can be the perfect way to slip an extra bit of study into their schedule without having to rearrange their whole day.
The cost of an online tutor is often significantly lower than that of an in-person tutor, while still having many of the benefits. At 123 tuition, our courses are fully mapped and aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum, meaning students are still learning all the important stuff at a fraction of the cost. You don’t have to travel for online tuition, which can also save you money in the long run.
By utilising technology in their learning, students will gain important skills that they can carry forward in life. It also means that all their learning and progress will be easily accessible, in one place. There are also thousands of online tools that they can use to improve and build on their learning.

Cons

Some students may find it harder to concentrate when working online, as outside of the traditional classroom environment there can be a lot of distractions beyond the tutor’s control. However, this can also be an opportunity to teach students about self-discipline and good study habits and can prepare them for working and studying later in life.

In Person Tutoring

For students who tend to thrive in a more hands on learning environment, in person tutoring may be a better fit.

Pros

Humans are social beings, and in person communication can feel more personal and tangible. By creating an in-person relationship between a tutor and student, it can help people feel more of a connection to what they are learning, helping them retain knowledge.
Some students find that having someone else physically in the room with them can be a great motivator to stay focused on the task at hand.

Cons

In person tutoring can be hard to fit into a busy schedule, especially if you must travel to get to it. For anyone who doesn’t live in the vicinity of the tutoring location, this can eat up a lot of time.
In person tuition can get expensive, especially if more than one child in your family needs tuition.
In the current learning climate, there are a lot of disruptions to in person learning with COVID-19 restrictions constantly changing the rules for in person interactions. If a student is used to in person learning and New Zealand goes into lockdown, it can be a big adjustment switching everything online.

Which Should I Choose?

Both in person and online tutoring have benefits and disadvantages, but ultimately it comes down to individual student and family needs. If you are looking for an online tutor for someone in your family, 123 Tuition can provide quality, affordable, supplementary home-based maths and English education, with personalised programmes for all your children based on their individual strengths and weaknesses. Either way, why not get a free no obligation assessment so you can see what 123 can do for you.
