Your first session is an opportunity to build rapport and establish your learning goals. The tutor will ask about the specific topics you're struggling with, your current understanding, and what you hope to achieve.

This foundation helps ensure that future sessions are focused, productive, and directly address the areas where you need the most support.

A tutor can identify knowledge gaps, explain concepts in different ways until they click, and provide targeted practice on challenging material.

The key is finding the right tutor and committing to regular sessions.
