The SD is a virtual specialized classroom, which deals with subject matter understanding and this can be applied to all the examining boards. However, it is still recommended that a student reads through their text book in parallel to the virtual lessons to ensure they&#8217;ve covered everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"foundation\"><strong>I do foundation, can I still attend? Will it benefit me?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You will still benefit from lessons, especially understanding the core concepts. The Higher tier elements are few, but they will be incorporated in the lessons. This can be particularly beneficial if you are aiming to move up classroom sets at school to do the Higher exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"slots\"><strong>Why are there only 6 slots available per hour?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Out of experience as a teacher, I\u2019ve found that students learn more as there is more room for interaction between students and teacher where the important questions can be answered. Simply, smaller classrooms are more focused while allowing room for questions, discussions, and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"hw\"><strong>Is there any homework given?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is no. At the SD we work on the students\u2019 in-depth understanding of mathematical and scientific concepts and equip them with the methods to apply their knowledge to exam questions and real-life scenarios. We believe if a student fully understands, then school homework can be sufficient. On the other hand, at the SD, we provide students with external links to commonly used websites that host a list of worksheets and exam papers that they may use at any time for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"practicals\"><strong>Is practical work carried out at the SD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The SD does not have school practicals, due to limitations of online tutoring, however, we go over them in lessons and exam practice to ensure full understanding of the concepts behind them and how to apply them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"tracking\"><strong>Will students\u2019 progress be tracked?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Progress is tracked for students who attend one-to-one lessons at least once per week. They will receive a progress report every 3 months outlining their performance, any weaknesses, and ways to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"exam-practice\"><strong>Will there be exam practice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, this is a main component of the SD classroom and is incorporated in the lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"equipment\"><strong>Do I need to have anything handy for the virtual classroom?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Students will need to be equipped with a notebook to work in and take notes, which could be a simple word document or a physical notebook. They will need a scientific calculator, a pen\/pencil, and ruler, and sometimes a compass\/protractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"more-than-1\"><strong>What if i want to book for more than one student?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You have a primary student who&#8217;s details you include when you register. If you have more than one student you can hover over &#8220;My Account&#8221; and select &#8220;Add Student&#8221; from the dropdown menu. Fill in their details and submit. Please note that you cannot have two students in the same year group. The interactive calendar will not allow you to select multiple seats in the same classroom.
