The Regular Attendance Policy at Tutopiya requires each student to attend at least one session per week, with a minimum of four (4) hours per month. This attendance policy applies to all subjects/courses that a student may be taking with Tutopiya. However, this policy excludes the extended breaks that are inbuilt on the monthly plans.
At Tutopiya, we have introduced the regular attendance policy to address the issue of low attendance among some of our students. We have noticed that some students attend only a few sessions to cover a substantial portion of their curriculum just before important exams or evaluations. This kind of last-minute preparation often results in higher exam stress and poor marks. Therefore, regular attendance would assist in overcoming these obstacles and result in higher marks.
Moreover, regular attendance enables our tutors to become familiar with the academic background of the students and identify their shortcomings or gaps. As a result, we can develop a specialized plan to enhance their performance in an efficient manner.
By attending sessions regularly, students will stretch the same number of sessions across a longer period of time, allowing for more absorption time between sessions. This results in improved knowledge retention and promotes academic discipline and healthy study habits. Overall, the regular attendance policy will help our students achieve their academic goals in a more effective and efficient way.
If a student attends less than 4 sessions in a particular month, they will need to reschedule any missed lessons within the same month . However, if the missed lessons are not covered up during this time, lesson credits for the missed lessons will be automatically deducted.
The main purpose of this regulation is to develop academic discipline among our students, and the fee is intended to discourage sporadic attendance. At the same time, we understand that some students may already be competent in certain topics and may not need frequent assistance in covering the fundamentals. In such cases, we can help the student attain a higher level of competency by exposing them to difficult questions or preparing them for competitive tests.
To further improve the student’s academic experience, we may also build a customized study plan that delves deeper into certain ideas beyond the school curriculum. By providing this kind of personalized education, we can help students achieve their full potential and become well-rounded learners.
If a student attends more than 4 sessions in a particular month, you will be charged for the lesson hours completed. In fact, we encourage our students to attend as many sessions as they need to achieve their academic goals.
Attending additional sessions may provide students with more opportunities to engage with the material and get personalized feedback from their tutors. It may also help them to stay ahead of the curriculum or prepare for upcoming exams and evaluations.
At Tutopiya, we understand that every student has unique learning needs and may require different levels of support at different times. Therefore, we are always ready to work with our students to create a customized study plan that meets their individual needs and helps them achieve academic success.
We are happy to note that your child is independent and does not require extra support. If the new policy does not suit the needs of your child, please get in touch with our support team who will give you more information on revision and booster lessons. We would be happy to help him/her attain a higher level of competency by exposing him/her to difficult questions or preparing him/her for competitive tests. To further improve your child’s academic experience, we may also build a customized study plan that delves deeper into certain ideas beyond the school curriculum.
If a student does not attend at least four sessions in a given month due to travel or illness, they are not subject to the Regular Attendance Policy. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we want to ensure that our students have the flexibility to manage their schedules accordingly.
In the event of travel or illness, we recommend that you inform us as soon as possible so that we can make appropriate arrangements. If you miss a session due to travel or illness, you can reschedule the missed session within the same month, in accordance with our policy.
At Tutopiya, we are committed to providing personalized education that meets the needs of each individual student. We understand that circumstances beyond your control may affect your attendance, and we are always ready to work with you to ensure that you receive the support you need to achieve academic success.
