The tutoring journey

  1. Apply or request a consultation

    Complete the short application form or take the consultation route. Either way, your enquiry goes directly to the founder — there is no sales team.

  2. Discuss goals and suitability

    In the consultation you talk through your target sitting, writing background and what has held Section 2 back so far. If one-on-one tutoring is not the right tool for you, that is said plainly.

  3. Agree the tutoring arrangement

    If it fits, you agree the format together: single lesson or a package, what written work is included and the total amount. The arrangement is confirmed with you in writing before anything is paid.

  4. Receive payment instructions

    Payment is by manual bank transfer. You receive the account details and a unique payment reference. The founder confirms the transfer manually — no card details, no automatic charges.

    Payment is confirmed before paid lessons begin.

  5. Receive your portal account

    Once payment is confirmed, your student portal account is created and you receive login details. Applying or enquiring never creates an account by itself.

  6. Complete onboarding

    A short onboarding inside the portal: confirm your details, read the service and cancellation information, and record your goals so lessons start with context.

  7. Upload starting work where requested

    Most arrangements begin with a piece of writing — an essay or a planning task — uploaded through the portal so the first lesson starts from evidence rather than assumptions.

  8. Book the first lesson

    Lesson times are arranged with the founder directly, with lesson booking managed from the portal as that workflow rolls out. Paid lesson booking is separate from the public consultation route.

  9. Attend the lesson

    A private session working through your writing: what it does, why it works or breaks, and live practice of the fix. Sessions run online.

  10. Receive feedback, a summary and next actions

    After the lesson you receive a student-visible summary and specific next actions, alongside written feedback on submitted work. Then the cycle repeats: write, submit, discuss, improve — until your arrangement is complete.

Deliberately manual, on purpose

Payment confirmation, account creation and lesson arrangement are currently done personally by the founder. That is slower than a checkout button and considerably harder to get wrong. Automation will be added only where it genuinely helps students.

Two different bookings

The public consultation is for prospective students and grants no portal access. Paid lesson booking happens later, inside the portal, for students with a confirmed arrangement. One never silently becomes the other.

No accidental access

Submitting an application or enquiry stores your details for follow-up only. It does not create a student account, grant portal access, start a paid service or enrol you in anything.

Ready when you are

The first step is the conversation.

If you have read this far, the useful next step is a consultation or an application. Both are short, and neither commits you to anything.
