Tutoring on your terms

No, unfortunately, tutoring is not tax deductible in Belgium. In contrast to childcare, which does qualify for tax relief, tutoring falls under the category “additional costs for teaching courses”. For more information, check out our blog post.

The effectiveness of tutoring varies depending on factors such as the student, the teacher and the methods used. Although studies consistently show it can be a major help for students, tutoring does not guarantee success.
It is important to understand the student's needs and find an appropriate tutor. Should you seek help with this, do not hesitate to contact the Eduvik team.
Ultimately, parents and students must decide for themselves whether tutoring is the right choice.

‍

Tutoring session duration varies depending on the student's level and needs. Here's a general guideline:

• Elementary & Lower Secondary (Ages 5-14): 40-50 minutes
• Upper Secondary & University (Ages 15+): 60 minutes (may extend to 90 minutes based on focus and complexity)

We tailor sessions to optimize learning. While these are general lengths, we adjust the duration to fit the students' specific needs and attention span.

The choice is up to you. You can specify your preference in your tutoring request. You can either choose a teacher who offers online tutoring or opt for in-person sessions in your area, either at the teacher's place, at your home, or in a public location. Please note that for online tutoring, qualified teachers often apply within one day, whereas physical availability is bound to the region and may take up to 14 days to arrange.

Eduvik is a platform that serves as a centralized hub for a wide network of tutors and tutoring companies. It provides a convenient online space where various support providers with diverse experiences, backgrounds, specializations, and rates operate from.

Absolutely! Online tutoring lessons have proven to be highly effective and flexible. Since the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we've gathered numerous positive experiences that highlight the value of online learning. Here are some reasons why online tutoring is an excellent option:

• Flexibility: Online tutoring offers students the freedom to participate from any location, making it convenient for busy students with irregular schedules.‍
• Variety in learning resources: Online platforms allow teachers to integrate various resources such as videos, interactive exercises, and digital tools into their lessons, enriching the learning experience.‍
• Comfort and convenience: Students can take lessons from the comfort of their own rooms, eliminating stress and travel time. This promotes a relaxed learning environment and saves parents time.‍
• Technological support: Modern technologies offer interactive features like screen sharing, online whiteboards, and chat functions, improving communication between teachers and students.

Therefore, we highly recommend considering online tutoring. The benefits extend beyond convenience to an enriched learning experience and effective knowledge transfer. If you're not convinced after one lesson, we can still search for a tutor who can teach in person.

As a parent or student, you can create a free account. With this account, you can submit a tutoring request without any obligation. This request will be shared with all teachers in our network, who can then apply to fulfill the request. Afterward, you can view the interested teachers and choose the one that best suits you or your student.

Payments are settled every 2 to 4 weeks and should be transferred directly to the tutor or tutoring company. Please note that the destination of the payments may vary for different tutors, so please check the payment email and account number carefully.

At Eduvik, we prioritize transparency in our fee structure. On average, the cost for an hour of individual tutoring ranges between €20 and €35. Several factors determine the price per hour, including the educational level of the student and the specific teacher chosen. Here are some key factors that influence the price proposal you will receive: 

• Education level: The level of education for which tutoring is sought can impact costs. More advanced subjects at higher levels may result in slightly higher rates.‍
• Teacher's experience: Teachers with more experience or specializations may have a slightly higher hourly rate. However, these experienced teachers can offer valuable expertise.‍
• Location of tutoring: The location of the tutoring may also influence costs. On-site tutoring may incur additional expenses compared to online tutoring.

When a teacher applies to a tutoring request, the exact hourly rate is clearly visible. This empowers parents and students to make informed decisions based on their needs and budget.

If you find it challenging to afford these average hourly rates, please reach out to us to learn more about the Educare initiative.

We implement a two-part quality control system: affiliated tutoring companies conduct internal quality control, while the platform gathers feedback from parents, tutoring students, and tutors after each lesson. We are always open to feedback and aim to proactively resolve any issues. If you are not satisfied with a lesson, please inform us. We will gladly address any concerns and find an appropriate solution.

Please inform us of any issues you encounter! We are committed to resolving problems promptly or find you a more suitable teacher.

At Eduvik, we highly value your feedback, whether it's positive or constructive. Your input helps us maintain and continually enhance the quality of our service.
Providing feedback after a tutoring session is a straightforward and effective process:

1. Log in to the platform: Access your Eduvik account and log in using your credentials.
2. Navigate to the relevant lesson: Locate the tutoring session for which you wish to provide feedback. You can do this by accessing your lessons' history.
3. Select the option for review: Within the details of the tutoring session, you'll find a section dedicated to sharing your feedback. Here, you can highlight what went well, suggest areas for improvement, and provide any specific comments you'd like to share.
4. Utilize the star rating: Eduvik employs a star rating system. Offer an overall rating by selecting stars, with five stars representing the highest score.
5. Provide specific comments: Alongside the star rating, we encourage you to include specific comments. These may focus on the lesson content, the teacher's approach, or other relevant aspects.
6. Send your feedback: Once you're satisfied with your feedback, submit it to send it to us. Rest assured, we take every comment seriously and use it to improve our offering.
