Reviews

We like the tutor. We applied to learn how to write a presentation and an essay. We saw progress after the second or third lesson. A very competent, friendly and caring teacher. I recommend.

Svetlana Vladimirovna started preparing for the Unified State Exam with her son in February. To be honest, I wasn’t sure that I could help improve and systematize my son’s knowledge in such a short period of time. At school the grades were different, but mostly 2-3, sometimes 4. I was wrong, Svetlana Vladimirovna is a wonderful teacher!!! The grades have risen, now the grade for the trimester is a solid four. And I passed the OGE with a 4 (31 points)!!! We will definitely continue to prepare for the Unified State Exam in advance!!

P.s. We studied on Skype for 1.5 hours once a week.

We took a break for the summer. There wasn't much of a breakthrough, but there was progress. The child was four-three, and now four-five. The final score is four to five. I think we will continue next year. We have a very difficult school. It’s difficult to say that we became excellent students, but for any other school we would have been excellent students. It's just that school is very difficult. The level of knowledge is very good, there are no gaps. I rate the tutor's work as a five.

Cons: No

Pros: Convenient form of training. Wonderful contact with the child. High result of preparation.

Cons: No

Description: I would like to thank the teacher for excellent, full-fledged classes. Behind high level preparation. For a kind and attentive attitude towards the child.

Very pleased with the result

Very nice Russian language tutor. Fedor likes her, they have a good understanding. Now my son is in 10th grade, they started preparing for the Unified State Exam in advance. We plan to continue studying with Svetlana Vladimirovna in the future academic year. Lessons are held via Skype - convenient. The tutor sends a lot methodological material, links. They also write dictations, analyze and check errors. Fyodor is happy with everything.

We are improving literacy, my son likes it, Svetlana Vladimirovna explains everything clearly, we study once a week.

What kind of tutors teach at Foxford?

The Foxford online school is not a directory of tutors. We have pre-selected hundreds of tutors and will be able to select a specialist who will best solve your educational problem.

Before starting work at Foxford, tutors undergo an interview with a methodologist, where communication skills are assessed. Next, each candidate undergoes qualifying work - this is how we understand the initial experience and knowledge of the teacher.

At the final stage, the tutor demonstrates the acquired knowledge and immerses himself in the work of the service. The methodologist tests the tutor’s skills: the ability to develop a training program, explain the material clearly and create interest in the subject.

Foxford.Class is part of our own learning platform. Foxford.Class has everything that Skype has - audio and video communication and text chat. But the possibilities of Foxford.Class are wider.

How are your homework assignments different from school assignments?

Homework is aimed at reinforcing the material covered in class - just like at school. This only happens in an interactive and playful way. The student receives points for correctly completed tasks, receives hints and additional theory if mistakes are repeated.

Homework is checked by an automatic testing system. You immediately see the result, evaluation and errors. The essay and oral part are checked by the course teacher, and the student receives detailed feedback on the work.

How much does a lesson with a tutor cost?

Prices for classes with a tutor depend on the purpose and intensity of training. The more classes you buy, the cheaper one lesson costs - it is profitable to buy a package of classes.

How many times a week do classes take place?

You have many tutors, how do you control the quality of classes?

And if I'm a parent, can I monitor my child's progress?

The tutor sends feedback after each lesson, including after the introductory lesson. You are always aware of your child's progress.

The training program also includes knowledge sections after each topic, and at the end of a block of lessons there is a final test. We will send the results to parents.

Learning via Skype is almost no different from regular classes with an individual teacher, except that the teacher and student communicate not in person, but through Skype, a program for communicating via the Internet (it is completely free). In general, Skype tutors build lessons according to the same principles and methods as their traditional colleagues, so the quality of teaching is no lower.

Moreover, Skype classes even outperform traditional ones in some aspects:
1. they are not tied to a specific geographical location: a tutor via Skype can teach lessons from anywhere, and a student, accordingly, can listen to them from anywhere (it turns out that both save time, usually spent on travel);
2. they are completely customizable to the student’s preferences, abilities and schedule;
3. they are safe (no need to go to to a stranger or invite him to your home);
4. they are confidential (if desired, the very fact of contacting a tutor can be kept secret);
5. they are cheap (the average tutor via Skype offers his services 20-25% cheaper than his offline colleague).

Benefits of Skype lessons

Skype tutors try to conduct lessons in such a way as to fulfill the students’ primary goals: knowledge of the subject is replenished, skills in performing various tasks are developed, high-quality preparation is provided for final or entrance exams (Unified State Examination, State Examination, State Examination, Central Testing, etc.), overall academic performance increases and etc.
The project site is a great opportunity to virtually attend interesting, informative and useful lessons via Skype, saving your time and money with their help.
