Tutoring in Ostend

This functionality is still in the Beta phase. As a parent or guardian, you can add the school's email address to your profile on the Eduvik platform. With the permission of the school, we will then also send the tutor's feedback to them after each tutoring session. In the future, we want to develop a separate dashboard for schools, where they can monitor the progress of all their students and contact the tutors.

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.

‍

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 where you can easily find the perfect tutor for you or your child. You place an application and receive responses from experienced tutors, each with their own experience, background, specialization and rates. This gives you the freedom to choose the teacher that perfectly suits your specific needs and budget. Thanks to the transparent rates and assessments, you can choose the tutor that's right for you with peace of mind.

By the way, Eduvik is more than just a platform for tutoring, we are also proud of our social commitment. Eduvik works with schools, CPAS and non-profit organizations to make tutoring accessible. Everyone should have the opportunity for extra support, so that together we can reduce the gap in education!

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.

Eduvik guarantees the quality of the tutoring through a careful selection of tutors. Each teacher is screened through personal interviews, a review of their qualifications, and they are assessed by parents and students. In addition, all ratings and rates are displayed transparently, so you can make an informed choice. This is how we ensure that you always find a tutor who meets high quality standards.

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.

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