General
Academic Support
One-on-one academic guidance for students needing extra support across subjects. Flexible scheduling available.
About these lessons
Academic Support is one-to-one tuition that is not tied to a particular examination. It is intended for students who need help keeping up with school work, filling gaps from earlier years, or building study habits that hold up under pressure.
What you will work on
- The specific topics the student is currently struggling with
- Study and revision technique that transfers between subjects
- How to approach a question methodically rather than by pattern-matching
- Working steadily rather than relying on last-minute revision
How lessons are approached
- A first conversation to establish what the student actually finds difficult
- Teaching pitched at the student's current level, not the level they are expected to be at
- Regular check-ins on school work so lessons stay relevant to what is being taught
The Process
How We Teach
The same five stages apply to Academic Support as to every other program at Educate Talents.
Step 01: Understand Your Goals
We start with a conversation about your target examination, timeline, and academic ambitions.
Step 02: Assess Your Starting Point
A diagnostic session identifies your current strengths and the areas that need the most attention.
Step 03: Build Your Learning Plan
A personalized preparation schedule is designed around your goals, pace, and availability.
Step 04: Practice, Teach & Refine
Structured lessons, timed practice, and targeted feedback keep your progress on track.
Step 05: Prepare with Confidence
By examination day, you are fully prepared, with strategy, content, and mindset all aligned.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Classes
Are lessons online or in person?
Lessons are taught online, one to one and live. That is the confirmed format, and it is what allows students to join from anywhere rather than only from the teacher's own city.
Can I take lessons from outside the teacher's country?
Yes. Because lessons are delivered online, students can join from anywhere in the world. Reach out and we can work out a schedule that fits your timezone.
Are lessons one to one or in a group?
Both. Lessons run one to one or in small groups, online or in person, depending on what suits the learner. One-to-one work is built around an individual student's goals, starting point and pace; small groups suit students who work better alongside others.
Preparation
Which examinations do you prepare students for?
Currently confirmed: SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, CELPIP, IGCSE, GRE, GMAT, WAEC, NECO, Summer Lessons, Fall Lessons, Spring Lessons, Academic Support, Special Education. Other examinations are listed on the Programs page and are being confirmed. Message us to ask about a specific one.
How long does exam preparation take?
As a guide: IGCSE runs 8 to 12 weeks per subject, SAT 8 to 12 weeks, and IELTS or TOEFL 6 to 8 weeks. K-12 support is ongoing month to month. After a free assessment you get a personalised study plan with the exact duration and a target score, rather than a generic timetable.
Do you provide learning materials?
Yes, and at no extra cost: practice tests and past questions, study guides and worksheets, IEP templates and differentiated resources for learners with special educational needs, and literacy resources including the teacher's own storybooks.
Consultation
What happens in a consultation?
A conversation about what you need, whether that is an examination and its timeline or the subjects and grade you want lessons in, and how it would work for you.
How do I get started?
Message us on WhatsApp using any of the buttons on this site, or send an enquiry from the Contact page. Tell us which examination you are preparing for and roughly when you plan to sit it. For lessons, tell us the student's grade and the subjects you want covered. We will take it from there.
