How many sessions a week does IB Biology tuition at home need?

Most students need one to two sessions a week, depending on level and proximity to a test or mock. A Grade 9 or 10 MYP student usually manages with one 90-minute session outside test weeks, while a DP1 or DP2 student carrying HL Biology alongside another HL science often needs two, one for new theme content and one closer to data-based question and past-paper practice. The number typically rises before DP2 mocks and the May session and eases once a student feels confident with a theme. IB Gram helps set this at the start and adjusts it as the term progresses.

What happens if a session is missed for a school event or illness?

A missed session should move within the same week wherever possible rather than simply disappear from the term. Gurgaon school weeks regularly bring a late-running staff meeting, an unannounced trip or a sudden fever, so IB Gram expects families and tutors to agree a reschedule rule from the very first session rather than after the first missed one causes confusion. If missed sessions start becoming a pattern, raise it with the tutor directly so the weekly plan can be adjusted before a mock or the exam session arrives.

Can a tutor reach our society in Sushant Lok or South City 1 on a weekday evening?

Yes, subject to tutor availability, though the exact slot depends on the time of evening and the specific sector. Sushant Lok, South City 1 and the Millennium City Centre stretch generally work well with an early or mid-evening slot, and IB Gram asks about your exact address before shortlisting a tutor so travel time is realistic rather than assumed. Families should also flag any building access or visitor registration process at their society so the tutor is not held up at the gate.

Does the timetable change during the Diwali or winter break?

Yes, most families move from a regular weekly slot to a holiday intensive during Diwali and the December break rather than keeping the usual short session running. A few focused two-hour sessions can cover more ground across a break than several rushed 45-minute weekly slots, since there is room to work through a whole theme without a school deadline waiting on the other side. Tell your tutor about any travel plans in advance so the intensive sessions can be scheduled around them.

Should a parent stay in the room during a home Biology session?

This is entirely the family's choice and not a requirement in either direction. Some parents sit in for the first session or two to see how the tutor works before stepping back, while others leave the tutor and student to it from the very start, especially with an older DP student. What matters more than whether a parent is present is that the study space is quiet and has diagrams, past papers and room to draw and annotate, since Biology leans heavily on visual and written work.

What does the free demo session cover?

The demo covers a short diagnostic of where the student stands across the four DP Biology themes, which levels of organisation feel secure and which do not, along with a look at any recent school test that shows where the gaps sit. It is also when the tutor and family agree the weekly slot, the reschedule rule and, for a DP student, whether the scientific investigation needs early attention. The session is not billed, and the family decides afterwards whether to continue.

Is home tuition better than online tuition for IB Biology?

Neither is universally better; the right choice depends on what the family actually needs. Home tuition suits a family that wants a tutor physically present to watch how a student annotates a diagram or structures an extended response, while online tuition suits an unpredictable evening or a case where the best-matched specialist tutor for a specific theme is not within realistic travel of the family's corridor. Many Gurgaon families settle into a hybrid pattern by the second term, home most weeks with an online session when travel does not work.

What if the tutor is not the right fit after a few sessions?

Say so, and IB Gram can arrange a different tutor without the family restarting the whole search. A mismatch is often about pace or manner rather than competence; a tutor strong on ecology and interdependence is not automatically the best fit for a student still shaky on cell-level detail. It is better to flag this after two or three sessions than to wait a full month, since Biology's theme-to-theme structure means lost weeks are harder to recover the longer they go unaddressed.

How does tuition work for families in New Gurgaon or along the Dwarka Expressway?

The weekly slot is built around each family's own fixed points, school hours, pickup timing and any activity, rather than a generic slot assumed to work everywhere in the city. Families in New Gurgaon around Sectors 82 to 90 and Kherki Daula, and along the Dwarka Expressway through Sectors 102 to 113 near Godrej Summit, Sobha City and ATS Kocoon, are asked about their specific timings before a tutor is shortlisted, since these corridors often need a longer evening travel buffer than areas closer to the centre of the city.

Can home tuition help with the Biology internal assessment specifically?

Yes, within clear limits: a tutor can guide a student through the four IA criteria, Research design, Data analysis, Conclusion and Evaluation, help assess whether an investigation is feasible, and check the student's own reasoning, but cannot write content into the report or run the investigation for them. Academic integrity rules mean the 3,000-word report and the investigation itself must remain the student's own work, even when up to three students investigate together. A tutor's role is closer to a structured second opinion than a co-author.

IB Biology Tuition at Home in Gurgaon: Timings and Set-Up

Q: Is there a clear path from MYP Sciences into DP Biology?

There is no fixed path in the sense of a guaranteed outcome, but the two stages connect closely: a student who has worked seriously through the four MYP Sciences criteria, Knowing and understanding, Inquiring and designing, Processing and evaluating, and Reflecting on the impacts of science, usually finds the shift into DP Biology's four themes and the scientific investigation considerably smoother. Home tuition through MYP 4 and 5 is often less about new content and more about building habits DP will rely on two years later.

A verified tutor visits your home on a slot built around school hours, then adjusts week to week as unit tests, mocks and the May session approach. Lessons move through the four DP Biology themes, extended-response practice and the scientific investigation, not a one-size course copied from another subject.

How does IB Gram build your IB Biology tuition at home timetable?

Arranging IB Biology tuition at home in Gurgaon starts with one message, not a search through ten different tutor listings. Tell IB Gram the board, the level, HL or SL, and roughly where the class currently stands: whether the student is still building the molecular and cellular foundations or has moved into organism and ecosystem-level content. That single detail changes which tutor is worth shortlisting. IB Gram then asks a handful of targeted questions: which of the four DP Biology themes, Unity and diversity, Form and function, Interaction and interdependence, Continuity and change, is currently the weak point, how many sessions a week suit the family, and which Gurgaon corridor the family lives in, since a tutor's realistic evening reach depends on it. A shortlist of tutors whose profiles are verified against this exact request goes back to the parent, never a single name offered without context. A free consultation, or a short demo session at home, lets everyone confirm fit before committing to a term. For Biology this matters because a tutor strong on ecology and interdependence is not automatically the right match for a student who needs help structuring an extended-response answer under exam command terms; the demo is where a mismatch like that shows up early rather than three sessions in. The plan is not fixed once and forgotten. As the year moves from settling-in weeks toward DP2 mocks and the May session, sessions shift emphasis, from building theme by theme understanding toward data-based questions and past-paper practice, and a family can ask for a different tutor at any point if the pace or manner is not working, without losing the sessions already booked.

1. You message IB Gram with the board, subject, level and your child's school calendar.

2. IB Gram asks which of the four DP Biology themes is causing trouble right now.

3. A shortlist of verified tutors matched to that level and corridor comes back to you.

4. A free consultation or home demo confirms the fit before any term is booked.

5. The weekly slot is locked against school hours, bus timings and known holidays.

MYP Sciences and DP Biology: is your child in the right stage?

In most Gurgaon international schools, Biology sits inside MYP Sciences through Grade 8 or 9 before splitting into its own subject for MYP 4 and 5, ahead of the Diploma Programme starting in Grade 11. A tutor working with a Grade 9 student is still teaching within the MYP Sciences criteria, not DP content, and treating the two as interchangeable is where a lot of home tuition goes wrong early. Once Biology is chosen for the Diploma Programme, Higher Level versus Standard Level is the decision that shapes everything else. HL adds Additional Higher Level content across all four themes rather than a single extra topic, so an HL Biology tutor is planning meaningfully more ground across the same two years. This level is common among students aiming at medicine, life sciences or related degrees abroad, and it is often paired with HL Chemistry, which stretches a student's week further still and makes early, well-planned timetabling matter even more. For MYP students, the four Sciences criteria, Knowing and understanding, Inquiring and designing, Processing and evaluating, and Reflecting on the impacts of science, scored independently out of 8 each, shape home sessions well ahead of DP. A tutor who works criterion by criterion during MYP 4 and 5 is quietly preparing a student for DP Biology's extended-response writing and its scientific investigation two years before either becomes urgent, which is exactly why starting home tuition early in MYP tends to pay off later.

MYP Sciences runs through Grade 8 or 9 before Biology becomes its own subject.

DP Biology HL adds Additional Higher Level content across all four themes, not just some.

MYP Sciences criteria A to D are each scored out of 8, independently assessed.

HL Biology commonly pairs with HL Chemistry for students aiming at medicine or life sciences.

Ask which programme stage your child is in before assuming what the tutor should cover.

Subjects

The four DP Biology themes, level by level

DP Biology is organised into four themes, A Unity and diversity, B Form and function, C Interaction and interdependence, D Continuity and change, each studied across four levels of organisation: molecules, cells, organisms and ecosystems. This structure is why Biology often feels harder to revise than it should: a single idea, say, how cells communicate, reappears at the organism level and again at the ecosystem level, and a student who only ever revises molecules in isolation misses how the syllabus actually connects. Extended-response writing is where marks are lost most often in Gurgaon classrooms, not because students lack knowledge but because they misjudge what a command term is actually asking for. Describe wants detail without reasoning; explain wants the reasoning; evaluate and discuss want a weighed judgement that draws on evidence from more than one level of organisation. A tutor who drills this distinction, rather than just re-teaching content the student already half-knows, tends to move a grade faster than one who does not. Both DP science papers assess this in slightly different ways: Paper 1 splits into multiple choice in 1A and data-based questions in 1B, testing a student's ability to read graphs and tables under time pressure, while Paper 2 moves into short-answer and extended-response work. The scientific investigation, the IA, sits alongside this, worth 20% of the final grade and marked across four criteria of six marks each, Research design, Data analysis, Conclusion and Evaluation, capped at 3,000 words. Students may investigate in groups of up to three, though each person submits an individual report, and a tutor's role is to sharpen that individual reasoning, not to supply it.

DP Biology has four themes: Unity and diversity, Form and function, Interaction and interdependence, Continuity and change.

Each theme is studied across four levels of organisation: molecules, cells, organisms, ecosystems.

Extended-response answers lose marks when a command term's required depth is misjudged.

Data-based questions test reading and interpreting data, not just recalled facts.

The scientific investigation IA is worth 20%, marked across four criteria of six marks.

Local coverage

Which Gurgaon corridors work best for IB Biology tuition at home?

The Gurgaon school year for most IB schools is well underway by May and June, and this is the natural window to fix a weekly IB Biology tuition at home slot before the first unit test exposes a gap. On Sohna Road, covering Sectors 47 to 50, Nirvana Country, South City 2, Rosewood City, Uppal Southend, Vatika Chowk and Badshahpur, families often ask for a tutor already living close to Central Park Resorts, Orchid Petals or Malibu Towne, since evening traffic through Vatika Chowk can stretch what should be a short trip. Around DLF Phases 2 to 4, MG Road and Cyber City, taking in Sikanderpur, Chakkarpur and Sectors 24, 27 and 28, working parents commonly want a slightly later slot once office hours end. By August and September, unit tests are landing across the four themes and this is where Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road families tend to lock in their routine. Golf Course Road, running through DLF Phase 5, DLF Phase 1, Sectors 42, 43, 53 and 54, Ardee City and Wazirabad, with societies like DLF The Magnolias, The Aralias, Park Place, The Crest and The Belaire, generally works best with an early-evening slot. On Golf Course Extension Road, through Sectors 56 to 65, Sushant Lok 3, Ghata and Gwal Pahari, near M3M Golf Estate, Ireo Grand Arch and Ireo Skyon, the same early window suits, though families further along the road should plan a slightly longer buffer. October through December brings Dussehra, Diwali and the winter break, and this is when families across Sushant Lok, South City 1 and the Millennium City Centre area, and further out along the Southern Peripheral Road through Sectors 66 to 72, Ansal Esencia and Bhondsi, or in New Gurgaon around Sectors 82 to 90 and Kherki Daula, typically run one catch-up session right after a break rather than letting momentum drop for weeks. The same applies from the Dwarka Expressway sectors, 102 to 113, near Godrej Summit, Sobha City and ATS Kocoon, through to Old Gurgaon, Palam Vihar, and the Manesar and NH-48 south belt around IMT Manesar and Hero Honda Chowk, where a December holiday intensive is often how families keep the four themes from slipping before DP2 mocks. From January onward, every corridor shifts from theme-building toward data-based question practice and past papers as the May session nears. IB Biology tuition at home Golf Course Road and IB Biology tuition at home Golf Course Extension Road are searched as distinct phrases because families want a straight answer on whether a tutor can actually reach their stretch on a weekday evening, which is exactly what gets confirmed before any shortlist goes out, whether the family typed Gurgaon or IB Biology tuition at home Gurugram to find this page.

Sohna Road and DLF corridors often want a tutor already based close to their societies.

Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road favour an early-evening slot before traffic builds.

Dussehra, Diwali and the December break are when a catch-up session matters most.

New Gurgaon, SPR and Dwarka Expressway sectors need a longer evening travel buffer.

From January, sessions shift toward data-based questions and past papers ahead of May.

School ecosystem

How the Gurgaon school year shapes IB Biology tuition at home

IB Gram is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any school named here, the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Education or Pearson Edexcel. Families across Gurgaon searching for IB Biology tuition at home are usually already navigating one of the city's IB schools, and while this page will not state which curriculum any named school follows, the calendar pressures families describe are consistent enough to plan tuition around. Most Gurgaon IB schools enter students for the May examination session, with only a minority using November, largely for retake candidates. Each school fixes its own DP2 mock examination dates independently, usually several months ahead of May, and those mock dates are typically what triggers a family's call for extra sessions. A tutor working without knowing the mock date is effectively guessing at urgency. Command terms decide how much depth an answer needs: define wants precision, describe wants detail, explain wants reasoning, evaluate and discuss want a weighed judgement across evidence. Past papers, mark schemes and subject reports come through the school or the IB's own official channels, and a tutor's real job is teaching a student how marks are awarded against that material, not guessing at it. May results release in early July, which tends to be exactly when families with a child stepping up from MYP into DP1 start planning the coming year's home tuition schedule around the fresh result. This is often the point at which a family first looks seriously for IB Biology tuition at home in Gurgaon, since the gap between MYP habits and DP expectations becomes obvious only once the new syllabus is underway.

Most Gurgaon IB schools enter the May session; a minority use November for retakes.

DP2 mock dates are set independently by each school, months ahead of May.

Command terms like evaluate and discuss require more reasoning than describe or define.

Mark schemes and subject reports come from the school or the IB, not guesswork.

May results in early July often set off planning for the following year's tuition.

Modes

Home, online or hybrid: choosing IB Biology tuition at home in Gurgaon

Home tutoring leads on this page because most Gurgaon families typing this search want a tutor physically present with their child, which matters for Biology in a specific way: a tutor sitting beside a student can watch how they annotate a diagram or structure an extended response in real time, catching a habit that a recording or a shared screen can make harder to notice. Online one-to-one tuition is a real option, not a fallback, especially when evenings are unpredictable, when a student is comfortable working from a tablet, or when the strongest available match for a specific gap, ecology and interdependence at HL, say, is not within realistic travel of the family's corridor. Families searching IB Biology online tuition Gurgaon have often already tried a home slot and found repeated travel-driven cancellations more disruptive than working over a screen. Hybrid, home sessions most weeks with an online one when travel, weather or a late school commitment intervenes, is where a large share of families land by the second term regardless of which mode they started with. A coaching centre batch deserves an honest mention too: it typically costs less per hour and gives a student peer discussion a solo lesson cannot, but it moves at the group's pace, and Biology's cumulative, theme-connected structure punishes a student who cannot pause to ask a question the moment confusion sets in. Whichever mode a family starts with, it is worth revisiting the choice once a term or two has shown how the student actually works best.

Home sessions let a tutor watch how a student annotates and writes in real time.

Online tuition suits unpredictable evenings or a hard-to-match specialist tutor.

Hybrid blends home sessions most weeks with online ones when travel gets in the way.

A coaching batch costs less per hour but sets the pace for the group, not one student.

Families can change mode mid-year as the school calendar and traffic shift.

How does IB Biology tuition at home compare with a coaching centre in Gurgaon?

A home tutor gives full attention to one student and adapts pace to that student's current theme; a coaching batch usually costs less per hour and adds peer discussion a one-to-one session cannot offer. Online tuition widens the pool of specialist tutors available for a tricky theme; hybrid blends home weeks with online ones when travel or a school event intervenes.

How does IB Biology tuition at home compare with a coaching centre in Gurgaon?
What matters	Tuition at home	Online one-to-one tuition	Hybrid (home plus online)	Coaching centre batch
Attention per student	One student, paced to their own understanding of each theme	Same individual pace, delivered remotely	Individual pace, split across home and online weeks	Shared across the group, set by the batch's pace
Syllabus fit	Matched to this student's HL or SL themes directly	Same matching, delivered over a screen	Same matching, whichever mode a week uses	General coverage, not always tuned to HL or SL
Travel and time in Gurgaon	Tutor travels to the family's corridor; evening traffic can add time	No travel needed; easier on a bad traffic evening	Travel only in home-session weeks	Family travels to the centre instead
Scheduling flexibility	Fixed weekly slot with an agreed reschedule rule	Simplest to move around a late school day	Flexible, since a hard week can shift online	Fixed batch timing, rarely adjusted for one student

Verification

How is an IB Biology home tutor checked before the first Gurgaon session?

Before any profile reaches a shortlist, IB Gram checks it against the exact request: board, level, HL or SL, and which theme or level of organisation the class is currently on. A profile that lists IB Biology generically, without confirming the tutor has taught the current syllabus structure across all four themes, is not treated as a match for this page. Parents should still verify some things directly, and any tutor worth hiring expects that. Ask about the tutor's own background in DP Biology specifically, and whether they have guided a scientific investigation IA before, since coaching a student through four criteria without writing the report for them is a distinct skill from simply knowing the content. Request a short trial or demo session rather than agreeing to a full term over a single phone call. IB Gram also asks about logistics a verification check alone cannot settle: whether the same tutor should cover both weekly sessions and any pre-mock intensive, whether a parent plans to be present, entirely up to the family, and whether the study space already has what a Biology session needs, printed diagrams, past papers, a place to draw and annotate, or whether that needs arranging first. Settling this in advance means the demo session gets spent on teaching, not logistics. Families comparing more than one shortlisted profile should also ask each tutor the same set of questions, since the answers, not just the qualifications listed, are usually what reveals the better fit for a specific student and a specific corridor of Gurgaon.

Profiles are matched to the exact theme and level, not just the subject name.

Ask whether the tutor has guided a scientific investigation IA before, not only taught content.

Request a trial or demo session before agreeing to a full term.

Whether a parent is present during lessons is entirely the family's choice.

Sorting study space and materials beforehand leaves the demo free for actual teaching.

Setting a weekly IB Biology tuition at home in Gurgaon routine that lasts

IB Biology tuition at home in Gurgaon only holds up if the weekly slot is built around a real school week rather than an ideal one. Start with the fixed points, school hours, bus or car pickup, any non-negotiable activity, and place the session around them. A Grade 9 or 10 MYP student usually manages with one 90-minute session outside test weeks; a DP1 or DP2 student carrying HL Biology alongside another HL science typically needs two, one for new theme content and one for data-based question and extended-response practice. Missed sessions do not need to become a problem if the reschedule rule is agreed before the first one happens: a session cancelled with reasonable notice should move within the same week rather than vanish from the term entirely. Gurgaon school weeks bring enough disruptions, a late-running staff meeting, an unannounced trip, a sudden fever, that a tutor without a clear reschedule habit can quietly cost a family several sessions across a term without anyone noticing until a test result makes the gap obvious. Holiday intensives at home are where families often recover the most ground, particularly around the Diwali break and the December winter holiday. A student who is behind on connecting molecular-level detail to ecosystem-level ideas benefits more from a few focused two-hour sessions across a break than from several rushed 45-minute weekly slots squeezed between other commitments, simply because there is space to work through a whole theme without a school deadline pressing on the next hour. None of this should be treated as fixed once it is set. A timetable built in the early months should be revisited once mock dates are confirmed, once it becomes clear which of the four themes needs more time, and again after May results for an MYP student stepping into DP. Planning the whole year, rather than booking single sessions as problems appear, is what lets the plan bend without breaking.

Fix school hours, pickup and activities first, then place the tuition slot around them.

Agree a reschedule rule for missed sessions before the first one is cancelled.

A two-hour holiday intensive covers more ground than several rushed weekly sessions.

Revisit the timetable once mock dates are confirmed, not only at the year's start.

DP students carrying HL Biology alongside another HL science usually need two sessions weekly.

What does real progress in IB Biology look like month to month?

Progress in Biology rarely moves in a straight line, and any promise that it will should be treated with suspicion. A student can sit at the same level for weeks while ideas across two levels of organisation slowly connect, then improve noticeably once that connection clicks, particularly in extended-response writing, where the jump often looks sudden even though the groundwork was gradual. No tutor can guarantee a grade, and anyone implying otherwise is worth questioning. What a family can reasonably expect within four to six weeks of consistent sessions is a visible shift in specific, checkable things: fewer command-term misreads, clearer use of data in data-based questions, an extended response that actually answers what was asked rather than restating content. If nothing has changed after a month, raise it directly with the tutor rather than waiting it out; if the fit is still wrong, IB Gram can arrange a different match without the family starting the search from scratch. Limits matter too, and a good tutor names them. A tutor cannot make up for a student who does no independent work between sessions, and the scientific investigation depends on the student's own inquiry; a tutor can guide the four IA criteria without ever writing content into the report itself. Starting late narrows what is realistically achievable: a family that begins looking for help in March before a May session has less runway than one that started the previous September, and an honest tutor says this plainly rather than promising to close the gap regardless.

Expect fewer command-term misreads and clearer data use within four to six weeks.

A plateau followed by a sudden improvement is normal, especially in extended-response writing.

No tutor can guarantee a grade; be wary of anyone who implies otherwise.

A tutor guides the IA criteria; the investigation and the report stay the student's own.

Starting in March before a May session leaves far less time than starting in September.

How to start IB Biology tuition at home this term

Starting is one message: send a query or book a free consultation naming the board, the level, HL or SL, the current theme or topic, and your corridor in Gurgaon. IB Gram uses this to shortlist tutors already verified against DP Biology or MYP Sciences specifically, not science tuition in general, and sends that shortlist back for the family to review before any booking is made. The first session, demo or otherwise, typically opens with a short diagnostic: which of the four themes and levels of organisation feel solid, where a recent school test revealed a weak spot, and, for a DP student, where the scientific investigation currently stands. This is also when the weekly slot gets fixed against actual school hours, bus timings and known activities, and when the reschedule rule for a missed session gets agreed, so it is settled before it becomes an issue. From there, sessions run at home, online or hybrid, whichever suits the family, subject to tutor availability and depending on level and schedule. If the match is not right after the first few sessions, a different tutor can be arranged without restarting the whole process. Nothing beyond that is promised: no guaranteed grade, no single session count that fits every student, only a plan shaped around the child's actual Gurgaon school year, adjusted as mock dates and results come in. That is what IB Biology tuition at home in Gurgaon is meant to deliver: a routine that holds up across a full year, not just a single strong week before a test.

Send a query naming board, level, current theme and your Gurgaon corridor.

The first session includes a diagnostic across all four DP Biology themes.

Weekly slots are fixed against real school hours, bus timings and activities.

A different tutor can be arranged if the first match does not work out.

Sessions run at home, online or hybrid, subject to tutor availability.

FAQs

IB tutoring FAQs for Gurgaon

What time of day suits IB Biology tuition at home?+

Most families choose weekday evenings after school and activities, typically between 5 and 8 pm, or a weekend morning when the student is fresher. Choose a slot when your child is alert, not exhausted. Late-evening sessions before an early school start rarely work well.

How many sessions a week for IB Biology tuition at home?+

One lesson a week is usual for keeping pace with school. Two weekly sessions suit the months before mocks or finals, or a student who is behind on a large block of content. The tutor will recommend an adjustment after the first month of results.

What do we need at home for IB Biology tuition?+

A table and two chairs in a quiet room, good lighting, and your child's textbook, notebook and class notes. Printed past papers help, and the tutor brings diagrams and practice sets. A whiteboard is useful but not essential, as the tutor can sketch on paper.

How does a term of IB Biology tuition at home run?+

The first weeks follow the school's current unit and fix gaps from the diagnostic. The middle of term mixes new content with exam-style questions, and the final weeks move to timed papers and error review. Internal assessment work is slotted in around deadlines.

Can IB Biology tuition at home switch to online for a week?+

Yes. If your child is unwell, travelling or caught in heavy rain or traffic, the same tutor can teach the lesson live online and keep the term plan intact. Tell the tutor early so the session is rescheduled or moved without losing the topic sequence.

Should a parent stay in the room during IB Biology tuition?+

It is not necessary. Many students ask questions more freely with only the tutor present. A parent should be at home, and can read the tutor's short note afterwards. Parents often sit in during the free trial class to see the teaching style.
