We have online tuition clients in a number of other countries, including Brazil, Japan, Australia, the UAE, Canada, the US, the Netherlands, amongst many others. Obviously these countries are in other time zones, and as such are appealing to our tutors for a number of reasons.
For example, Brazil is two hours behind GMT. This means that tuition sessions typically take place fairly late (between 7 PM and 12 PM) on weekday evenings, at times which might be inappropriate for tuition in the UK. These slots are popular with both our tutors who work busy full-time jobs, and for more full-time tutors looking for additional clients at times when they can’t tutor in the UK.
Going the other way, Japan is 9 hours ahead of GMT. This means that tuition sessions typically take place early in the morning in the UK, usually between 7 AM and midday on weekdays, when students in Japan are finished with schools. These slots are popular with our tutors that cannot get other work at these times, and again mean they can increase the number of tuition slots they can offer.
