How the Tutoring Works
Tutoring starts with a free, no-obligation consultation where I talk through the course and any areas you’re finding difficult.
From there, sessions are planned around what you need most, whether that’s getting to grips with plant science, building confidence with exam questions, or organising revision alongside work or other commitments.
Sessions are delivered online and focus on clear explanations, worked examples, and exam-relevant practice linked directly to the RHS Level 2 syllabus. Between sessions, you can ask questions by email and get guidance on what to revise next, so you’re not left guessing what matters.
Tutoring is flexible and pay-per-session, allowing you to build steady progress without pressure or long-term commitment.
