I've been touting around to get opinions on the provision of different sessions. Most people assume tutoring will be 1:1, or delivered via some sort of +club (in various incarnations depending on where you live).
I enjoy 1:1 sessions. You see huge progress, as your student has the benefit of your undivided attention, and as a tutor you have the time to ensure your sessions are tailored to your students' needs. But, they are costly; not everyone can afford it.
The idea of paired sessions was to make it that bit more affordable, and to encourage the student to be less dependent on the tutor (How can you and your study-buddy find out what you need to know?)
The group sessions are the uncharted territory though. Aimed at being smaller and more personal than a large group in the local village/school/church hall, these sessions are hopefully going to be way more affordable for those on low incomes. £2/£3 a session, in the tutors' homes, 5 or 6 children at a time. I think there's a market for this. I have staff lined up, should it prove successful. But if you have a view, please let me know. Starting up your own business is an exciting but slightly baffling matter.
