What is a Careers Tutor?
Careers Tutor - An Explanation
A careers tutor is just like a subject tutor. A fully qualified professional, with extensive in school experience, who also works privately with students. The key difference, is that while subject tutors focus on academic areas, Melanie is a fully qualified and Registered Careers Guidance Practitioner who tutors students to make career and educational pathway decisions.
Families invest in subject tutoring to help their child achieve the very best GCSE or A-level grade possible. Whereas Careers Tutoring helps students to aim for and achieve their very best career and pathway options.
And with careers tutoring, students typically need only a few weeks of tutoring, to achieve goals. Most need 2-6 sessions, whilst Milk Round finalists, graduates, and international students may need additional sessions to meet specific objectives.
In terms of parental financial investment, careers tutoring costs per session for students age 15-18 are similar to GCSE and A level tutoring. The overall cost of careers tutoring is however much less - as only a few sessions are needed.
Most families return year after year for support at each crucial educational decision-making stages, appreciating the guidance of someone familiar who has previously helped them achieve their goals.
