Wolsey Hall Science Tutor Gemma Langley talks about her role.
The role of a Wolsey Hall Tutor
Karen Binedell, mum to ‘Our Travelling Family’, gives her view on the Wolsey Hall homeschooling Tutor support.
This month I’d like to focus on a Wolsey Hall resource which I believe is absolutely invaluable-homeschooling Tutor support.
For those of you who are new to Wolsey Hall, the main role of the homeschooling tutor is to answer questions and offer support in their given subject.
They are also responsible for marking assignments at the end of each module, usually with a turn around of between 3-4 days.
In our experience they do all of the above plus so much more. They play a pivotal role in keeping our kids motivated and engaged. They are very quick to respond to messages and their feedback on assignments is detailed, helpful and encouraging.
It’s also important to note that once they know your child they will not settle for substandard work. If they believe an assignment has been rushed or that your child could have performed better they will mention that in their comments.

Mid-course reviews
Another area where the Tutors really shine is when it comes to the mid-course review.
Our 14 year old son, Aiden, submitted his mid-course review for Maths and in it he mentioned that he was finding it difficult to understand bearings. He had been over the coursework a number of times and kept getting the wrong answers.
Within a day, his maths tutor had contacted him through Canvas, she proceeded to find out where he was struggling and encouraged him to work through a number of examples to ensure he understood the topic thoroughly before moving on.
Language Tutor support
The language Tutors deserve a mention of their own as in addition to marking written assignments they will also complete verbal assignments with your child ensuring they have a good command of the language and helping them with pronunciation and grammar.
Ella’s French Tutor also sent her links to a number of additional resources she could use to help her with her coursework.
These are just a few examples of the way homeschooling Tutor support works and another one of the reasons why we love Wolsey Hall.
