Teachly help centre
A little guidance for your teaching journey.
For teachers, students and parents
How can we help?
Clear, practical guidance for teachers, students and parents.
For parents
Choosing a tutor, first lessons, and keeping tutoring safe.
How to choose the right teacher for your child
A good tutor is not the one with the longest list of results. It is the one who fits your child, the subject and the way your family’s week actually runs.
What a good first lesson looks like
A first lesson is not really about the syllabus. It is the teacher finding out where your child is — and you finding out whether this teacher is right.
Home, online or at the teacher’s place: choosing how lessons happen
Where a lesson happens changes what it costs, how much travel it takes and how well your child concentrates. None of the options is best for everyone.
Keeping private tutoring safe: a practical guide for parents
Most tutoring goes exactly as it should. A few simple habits make sure it stays that way — and tell you early if it does not.
Questions to ask a tutor before you commit
A short conversation before the first class avoids most misunderstandings later. Tick these off as you go.
First-lesson checklist for parents
Everything worth settling before, during and after the first class with a new teacher — on one page you can print.
For students
Study routines, revision and exam preparation that lasts.
Building a study routine you can actually keep
The best study plan is not the most ambitious one. It is the one you are still following six weeks from now.
Revising for O/L and A/L: a steady, term-by-term approach
Big exams reward the students who started steadily, not the ones who started loudly. Here is a way to spread the work so the final weeks are practice, not panic.
Weekly study planner
Print it, fill in the week you really have, and tick off each block as you finish it.
Exam-week checklist
The week of an exam is for review, rest and getting the practical things right. This keeps them in one place.
A past-paper practice routine
Past papers are the closest thing to the real exam. Used well, every mistake you make on one is a mark you will not lose in the hall.
For teachers
Profiles parents trust, and replies that get chosen.
Profile headline and description guidelines
Help students and parents understand what you teach, how you teach, and why you could be the right fit.
How to create a teacher profile parents trust
Parents decide in seconds whether to keep reading. A profile that is specific, honest and complete earns those seconds.
Replying to a parent’s request: what a strong reply includes
A parent reads every reply to their request on one page, side by side. Yours has a few lines to show it was written for them.
