How many tutors does IB Gram usually put on a shortlist for IB and IGCSE home tuitions in Gurgaon?

Usually two or three, enough to give a genuine comparison without turning the decision into a long research project. Each profile is verified against your child's exact board, level, subject and syllabus before it is added, and comes with a short note explaining why it was chosen, so comparing them does not mean reading three unrelated biographies from scratch. If none of the two or three feels right, IB Gram can put together a fresh shortlist rather than stretching a weak one.

Is it strange to ask for trial classes with more than one home tutor?

No, it is a normal request, and IB Gram treats it that way. Running two trial classes, ideally spaced a few days apart and covering similar content, is often the clearest way to compare teaching style rather than choosing from written profiles alone. Just tell IB Gram you would like to see more than one tutor before deciding, and both trials are arranged the same straightforward way as a single one would be.

What should we actually compare between two shortlisted tutors?

Board and level experience first, then how familiar each is with your specific school's pacing, then travel realism for your sector or society. Beyond that, ask both the same few questions, a recent topic taught, how they would mark a piece of work, whether they know your school's scheme of work, and compare the answers directly rather than judging each profile in isolation. The clearest comparisons usually come from asking identical questions of both.

We chose a tutor and it is not working. Can we go back and compare others?

Yes, and this is treated as a normal step rather than a failed decision. Tell IB Gram what specifically was not working, pace, subject depth, personal fit, and a fresh shortlist is built the same careful way the first one was, from your child's board, level and slot. Subject to availability, you can again ask for more than one profile to compare rather than accepting a single replacement.

How much do IB and IGCSE home tuitions in Gurgaon cost, and does comparing tutors change the price?

Cost depends on level, subject, session length and frequency rather than on how many tutors you compared beforehand; comparing profiles or running an extra trial class does not itself add to the cost. Pricing is discussed and confirmed during the consultation before any regular schedule begins, and remains subject to tutor availability for your specific syllabus, level and corridor. Running two trial classes instead of one is simply part of a careful comparison, not a paid add-on, so there is little financial reason to skip it in favour of a quicker, less certain decision.

Does a home tutor travel to our society on Golf Course Extension Road?

It depends on whether a tutor already covers that part of Golf Course Extension Road regularly, and IB Gram takes this into account when building your shortlist so the comparison you are running is between genuinely realistic options. Where fewer tutors already cover a specific society, the shortlist may include a well-matched online or hybrid alternative alongside a home option, rather than three interchangeable home profiles.

How do we compare a home tutor against a coaching centre batch fairly?

Weigh attention per student, syllabus fit and cost structure against each other honestly rather than assuming one option wins on everything. A home tutor gives closer, adjustable attention and travels to you, usually at a higher cost per hour, while a batch costs less per student but cannot bend around one child's exact pace or syllabus. The comparison table on this page sets both out side by side, without an amount attached to either.

Will a home tutor reach us near IMT Manesar for a trial class?

It depends on whether a tutor already has a regular route through Manesar and the NH-48 south stretch, since fewer tutors currently cover that corridor compared with Golf Course Road or Golf Course Extension Road. Where a fully local match is not immediately available, IB Gram usually offers a strong online or hybrid alternative alongside whatever home option exists, so the comparison stays realistic rather than promising a slot that is hard to sustain.

Does a parent need to sit in on both trial classes to compare them fairly?

Not necessarily, but being present, or at least nearby, for both trials makes the comparison more reliable than relying on your child's impression alone, especially with a younger student. What matters more is running both trials in a similar way, similar length, similar content, so you are judging teaching style rather than one session simply being easier than the other.

How soon after two trial classes should we decide?

Within a week or two is usually sensible; a slot held open much longer can disappear from a strong tutor's schedule regardless of how the comparison goes. Ask your child directly which trial felt clearer, give IB Gram honest feedback on both, and use that alongside your own impressions rather than waiting for a perfect, obvious answer that a genuine comparison rarely produces.

Can we compare tutors for two different subjects at the same time?

Yes, and many Gurgaon families do exactly this when two subjects need attention at once. Each subject gets its own shortlist and its own comparison, since board and level experience in one subject says little about a tutor's depth in another, and trial classes for each subject can be arranged separately or close together depending on what suits your child's week.

What happens if we cannot decide between two tutors after both trials?

Tell IB Gram honestly what is making the decision hard, cost is never part of that comparison here, but pace, personality or subject depth often are, and a short follow-up conversation usually narrows it. Sometimes a third, more targeted trial resolves it; other times the honest answer is that either would work, and choosing based on which slot fits your week better is a perfectly reasonable tiebreaker.

IB and IGCSE Home Tuitions in Gurgaon: Planning the Year Term by Term

Home tuitions work best when planned around the school year, not week to week. A sensible plan builds foundations in the first term, practises exam skills in the second, and shifts to past papers and revision before mocks and finals. Review the plan with your tutor each term.

How IB Gram Builds a Home Tuition Shortlist You Can Compare in Gurgaon?

Most families asking about IB and IGCSE home tuitions in Gurgaon are not looking for a single recommendation; they want two or three genuine options to weigh against each other before committing. IB Gram treats that as the normal request rather than an unusual one. The first conversation, a query or a free consultation, covers your child's board, level, subject and your sector, and from there a shortlist is built rather than a single name handed over. Every profile on that shortlist has already been checked against the exact syllabus and level you named, so the comparison you are doing is a real one, board experience, which level they teach most, how familiar they are with your specific school's pacing, not a comparison between one verified tutor and one unverified guess. Each profile comes with a short note explaining the match, which makes comparing two or three side by side considerably faster than reading three unrelated profiles cold. Trial classes can be arranged with more than one tutor if you genuinely cannot decide from profiles alone, and there is nothing unusual about wanting to see two people teach before choosing. Once you choose, that is not the end of the process either: if the choice does not hold up after a few weeks, IB Gram arranges a different tutor the same way, from board, level and slot, rather than treating the first choice as final and irreversible. Comparing IB and IGCSE home tuitions in Gurgaon properly, rather than settling for whichever profile replies first, is the single step families most often skip and most often regret skipping once a term has already gone by.

1. Tell IB Gram the board, level, subject and your Gurgaon sector or society.

2. IB Gram checks each candidate's syllabus experience before anyone is added to your shortlist.

3. You receive two or three verified profiles with a short comparison note on each.

4. Trial classes are arranged with more than one tutor if you want to compare directly.

5. You choose, and if it turns out wrong, a different tutor replaces it without starting over.

IB MYP, DP and IGCSE Side by Side

When you are comparing two or three tutors rather than accepting the first one, the programme structure itself becomes a useful checklist rather than background reading. The IB Middle Years Programme covers five years, MYP 1 to MYP 5, across eight subject groups, and every subject is marked against four criteria, A to D, each out of 8, with the total out of 32 converting to a final 1 to 7 grade. Ask a shortlisted tutor plainly which subject groups and which MYP years they have actually taught, since MYP experience on its own tells you very little. The Diploma Programme runs two years, DP1 and DP2, six subjects from six groups, three or four at Higher Level with around 240 recommended teaching hours and the rest at Standard Level with around 150 hours, each graded 1 to 7, with Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay adding up to 3 more points toward a 45 maximum, 24 the minimum for the diploma, subject to the IB's failing conditions, alongside CAS. A tutor comfortable at Standard Level is not automatically ready for the analytical depth Higher Level expects, so this is worth asking about directly rather than assuming. IGCSE comparisons need the same precision: Cambridge IGCSE, from Cambridge International Education, grades most syllabuses A* to G with Core and Extended tiers on many subjects, Core capping at grade C and Extended reaching A*, while Pearson Edexcel International GCSE grades on a 9 to 1 scale, usually without that Core and Extended split. Exam series differ too, Cambridge's February/March series runs only in India alongside May/June and October/November, Edexcel International GCSE runs January and May/June, so ask which series a shortlisted tutor's recent students actually sat, not just which board they mention.

MYP tutors should know all eight subject groups' four-criteria marking, not just one.

DP tutors should know Higher Level and Standard Level workload differences, not treat them the same.

A Cambridge IGCSE tutor's Core and Extended experience is worth asking about directly.

An Edexcel International GCSE tutor should know the 9 to 1 grading scale, not assume A* to G.

Ask any shortlisted tutor which exam series their recent students actually sat.

Subjects

What Should You Actually Compare Between Two Subject Tutors?

Comparing subject depth between two tutors is more useful than comparing years of experience alone, since a tutor who has taught IB Diploma Higher Level Physics for years may still be new to Cambridge IGCSE Extended Physics, and the reverse is just as common. Ask each shortlisted tutor which specific topics they have taught most recently, a particular DP unit, a particular IGCSE syllabus section, rather than accepting a general claim of subject strength. How a tutor marks matters as much as what they know. DP command terms, define, describe, explain, evaluate, discuss, to what extent, set how deep an answer needs to go, and a tutor who cannot explain the difference between a describe answer and an evaluate answer in a trial conversation is unlikely to mark that distinction consistently in a real session either. Ask each tutor how they would mark a specific piece of work, a Maths IA outline, an English oral response, and compare the two answers directly. MYP comparisons need a slightly different question: ask which of the four criteria, A to D, each tutor is strongest at explaining, since a subject can be assessed unevenly if a tutor leans on the criteria they understand best and glosses over the rest. A tutor who can name a real past paper, mark scheme or subject report they have recently used with a student, sourced through the school or the relevant board's own official channels, is usually a stronger comparison point than one who speaks only in general terms about the syllabus.

Ask which specific topics within the syllabus each tutor has taught most recently.

Ask how each tutor marks a Maths working or an essay draft, and compare the answers.

Ask whether each tutor has taught your school's own scheme of work before.

Compare how each tutor explains a wrong answer, not just a right one.

Ask for a past paper or mark scheme each tutor has actually used with a student.

Local coverage

Home Tuitions in Gurgaon: Manesar to Golf Course Road

Where you live in Gurgaon shapes which tutors can genuinely be compared on equal footing, since two profiles that both claim to reach your home are not equally reliable if only one already works that corridor regularly. On Golf Course Road, covering DLF Phase 5, DLF Phase 1, Sectors 42, 43, 53 and 54, Ardee City and Wazirabad, societies such as DLF The Magnolias, DLF The Aralias, DLF Park Place, DLF The Crest and DLF The Belaire sit inside most tutors' established evening routes, so a shortlist here usually has a genuine choice of two or three tutors rather than one by default. Golf Course Extension Road, through Sectors 56 to 65, Sushant Lok 3, Ghata and Gwal Pahari, home to M3M Golf Estate, Ireo Grand Arch and Ireo Skyon, pairs closely with Golf Course Road, and tutors comparing well on syllabus fit often overlap on this corridor too, which is useful when you are trying to compare like with like rather than comparing a strong tutor on one corridor against a weaker one who simply happens to be closer. Manesar and the NH-48 south stretch, through IMT Manesar, Hero Honda Chowk and Sectors 33, 34 and 37, sit apart from the main corridors, and here the comparison looks different: fewer tutors already cover the route regularly, so IB Gram is more likely to offer one strong home match alongside an online or hybrid alternative rather than three interchangeable home options. In a corridor like this, comparing a home tutor against a well-matched online specialist, rather than comparing two similar home profiles, is often the more useful exercise. Across Gurugram (Gurgaon), Haryana, this is the general pattern worth remembering: the more established a corridor, the wider the genuine choice, and the newer or more distant it is, the more a fair comparison should include at least one non-home option alongside whatever home match exists.

Golf Course Road societies like DLF The Magnolias sit inside most tutors' regular routes.

Golf Course Extension Road's M3M Golf Estate and Ireo Grand Arch pair naturally with Golf Course Road.

Manesar and the NH-48 south stretch need a tutor already covering that specific route.

A tutor shortlisted from a nearby corridor is often a stronger match than one crossing the city.

Where fewer tutors already cover a corridor, comparing two verified profiles matters even more.

School ecosystem

School Deadlines That Affect Which Tutors You Shortlist

IB Gram is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any school named here, the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Education or Pearson Edexcel. Schools such as Pathways World School Aravali, Pathways School Gurgaon, Lancers International School, Scottish High International School, GD Goenka World School, Heritage Xperiential Learning School, The Shri Ram School Aravali and DPS International Edge are named only as local context, since families at schools like these face broadly similar calendar pressures, not because any relationship or specific curriculum is being suggested for any one of them. When comparing tutors, ask each one how they would plan a term against your school's actual calendar rather than a generic one: DP2 mock examinations usually fall several months before the May session on dates the school sets independently, and a tutor who has worked with DP2 students before will already have a rough sense of how tight that winter term becomes once university deadlines land in the same weeks. Grade 10 IGCSE families should ask something similar, since the exam series can sit close to a school's own pre-board window, and a Personal Project deadline in MYP 5, or a Community Project in MYP 3 or 4, needs its own dedicated stretch of weeks rather than being squeezed in around ordinary homework. A tutor who asks about your school's specific test calendar during the trial class, rather than assuming a standard one, is usually the stronger comparison point over a tutor who does not raise it at all.

DP2 mocks fall months before May, and each school sets its own dates.

A Personal Project deadline in MYP 5 needs planning around, not just subject tuition.

Modes

Comparing Home, Online and Hybrid Tuitions Before You Choose?

Comparing tutors is not only about comparing people; it is often worth comparing modes of teaching too before settling on a pattern. Home tuition lets you watch, in person, exactly where a working step goes wrong or where an essay plan loses its thread, and for many families that close, hands-on marking is worth the extra travel time a tutor needs to build into their week. Online tuition widens the pool of tutors you can genuinely compare, since a strong DP Higher Level specialist who does not live near your corridor becomes a real option rather than an impossible one. A shared digital whiteboard and annotated past papers cover most subject content perfectly well, and comparing an online trial against a home trial directly, for the same subject, is often the clearest way to see which mode actually suits your child rather than guessing. Hybrid tuition, splitting sessions between home and online across the week, is worth comparing against a single-mode arrangement too: closer marking for an Extended Essay draft or IA outline in person, routine practice and past paper review online. A family near Golf Course Extension Road, where evening traffic can stretch a short trip considerably, sometimes finds a hybrid pattern compares favourably against committing every single session to a home visit, simply because it is easier to sustain across a full term. When you are comparing modes rather than just people, it helps to ask each shortlisted tutor which pattern they would actually recommend for your subject, since a tutor honest enough to suggest hybrid over full home tuition, when that genuinely suits the subject better, is usually worth trusting on the rest of the comparison too.

Compare a home trial and an online trial before deciding which suits your child.

Home tuition suits close, hands-on marking of a working or an essay draft.

Online tuition widens the pool of specialists you can actually compare.

How Do a Few Home Tuition Options Compare in Gurgaon Once You Shortlist?

Once you have a shortlist, it helps to compare the format itself, not just the people on it. A home tutor through IB Gram gives close, adjustable attention but usually costs more per hour than a batch. A coaching centre batch costs less but cannot bend to one student's pace, and a live online class sits between the two, trading some in-person attention for a wider pool of specialists to compare against.

How Do a Few Home Tuition Options Compare in Gurgaon Once You Shortlist?
What matters	Home tutor through IB Gram	Coaching centre batch	Live online group class	Tutor found by word of mouth
Attention per student	One tutor, one student, every session, and easy to compare directly against another tutor.	Shared across a batch, so one child's pace is hard to isolate and compare.	Shared across a smaller group, though still divided between several students.	Depends entirely on that individual, with no second profile to compare it against.
Syllabus fit	Every shortlisted profile is matched to your exact syllabus code before you compare them.	Often a broad IB or IGCSE outline rather than your specific syllabus code.	Usually one fixed syllabus track the group has already agreed on.	Depends on whatever that individual happens to know, unverified.
Travel and time in Gurgaon	Tutors travel to you; corridor and gate entry shape which candidates are realistic.	You or your child travel to the centre for every session.	No travel, useful when comparing specialists from anywhere in Gurgaon.	Travel depends entirely on where that person happens to live.
Scheduling flexibility	A fixed weekly slot, comparable across shortlisted profiles before you choose.	Fixed batch timings that rarely flex around one family's calendar.	A set weekly time, though a missed class reschedules more easily online.	Flexible in theory, but rarely structured enough to compare fairly.
Coursework or IA help within academic integrity rules	Each profile can be compared on how they explain structure without doing the work.	Little one-to-one time to compare individual coursework guidance.	Some centres run separate clinics you can weigh against a tutor's own offer.	No standard to compare against; entirely dependent on that person.
Feedback to parents	Comparable updates after each session across whichever tutor you choose.	Periodic centre reports rather than feedback you can compare weekly.	Depends on the platform; sometimes only a recording, hard to compare.	Informal and inconsistent between different word-of-mouth tutors.
How the tutor is chosen and checked	Every shortlisted profile is verified the same way before you compare them.	Set by the centre's own hiring, not something a parent can compare directly.	Set by the platform running the class; standards vary between instructors.	No independent check to compare one referral against another.
Trial before committing	Free trial classes with more than one tutor, so the comparison is a real one.	A trial is sometimes offered; many expect a term's commitment upfront.	A single sample class is sometimes possible before joining the group.	Rarely offered, making a fair comparison difficult.
Who it suits best	A family that wants a genuine shortlist to compare before committing.	A student who works well in a group and wants a lower-cost option.	A family comparing specialists from across Gurgaon rather than just one corridor.	A family confident enough in a personal referral to skip comparing further.

Verification

Checking Two Tutors' Profiles Without Wasting Anyone's Time

IB Gram verifies every shortlisted profile against the exact syllabus and level you named before it reaches you, so a genuine comparison starts from two or three tutors who have already cleared that first check, rather than one verified name and one unknown one. That still leaves real differences worth comparing yourself: teaching style, pacing, how each tutor handles a student who is stuck. Ask each shortlisted tutor the same set of questions so the comparison is fair rather than accidental: a topic they have recently taught, how they would mark a specific piece of work, whether they can work from your school's own scheme of work. A tutor who answers with a concrete example is generally easier to judge than one who answers only in general terms, and running the same questions past both tutors makes the difference between the two answers much clearer. Trial classes are the most useful comparison of all, and running them the same way with each tutor, same subject, similar length, ideally close together in time, keeps the comparison fair rather than skewed by one trial happening on a good day and the other on a tired evening. Write down your impressions straight after each trial rather than trying to remember both a week later, since small differences in explanation style are easy to forget once time has passed. A short list of two or three lines per tutor, covering clarity, pace and how they handled a wrong answer, is usually enough to make the eventual choice feel considered rather than rushed.

Ask each shortlisted tutor for one concrete example, a topic, a mark scheme, a lesson.

Compare how each tutor answers a question they got wrong, not just one they got right.

Check that both shortlisted profiles are verified against your exact syllabus and level.

Run the trial class the same way with each tutor so the comparison is fair.

Note down your impressions straight after each trial while the comparison is still fresh.

Running Trial Lessons With More Than One Tutor

Running trial lessons with more than one tutor works best with a little structure rather than treating it as two unrelated appointments. Space the two trials a few days apart so your child is not juggling two new adults and two new teaching styles in the same evening, and where possible, ask both tutors to cover similar content, the same topic or a comparable difficulty level, so you are comparing like with like rather than one easy session against one genuinely hard one. After each trial, ask your child directly which one felt clearer, not simply which tutor they liked more, since likeability and teaching effectiveness are related but not identical, and a student can enjoy a friendly session that taught them very little. Feed that back to IB Gram honestly, including anything that felt off, since it sharpens the shortlist for the choice you are about to make and for any future comparison too. Once you have run both trials, decide within a week or two rather than letting the comparison drag on indefinitely; a slot held open too long tends to disappear from a tutor's schedule regardless of how the comparison eventually goes. If, after choosing, the fit does not hold up over the following weeks, that is not a wasted comparison, it simply becomes the starting point for the next one, back to board, level, subject and slot, the same way the first shortlist was built. Treat the whole exercise, both trials, the notes, the eventual choice, as roughly a fortnight well spent rather than a delay, since it is considerably shorter than a term spent with a tutor who was never quite right.

Space two trial classes a few days apart so your child is not overwhelmed.

Use the same subject and similar content for both trials where possible.

Ask your child directly which trial felt clearer, not just which tutor they liked.

Give feedback to IB Gram after each trial so the shortlist stays accurate.

Decide within a week or two rather than letting the comparison drag on.

How to Judge Which Tutor Is Working After a Trial Month in Gurgaon

Choosing between two well-matched tutors after a trial does not guarantee the choice was right, and it is worth watching the following weeks honestly rather than assuming the comparison ended the moment you decided. No tutor, however impressive in a single trial class, can guarantee a grade, a score or a mark boundary, and a strong first impression sometimes fades once the novelty of a new tutor wears off. A more reliable signal, a few weeks in, is a shrinking error log: the same type of mistake, a misapplied command term, a repeated working slip, showing up less often, rather than one dramatic test result. Confidence in a draft Extended Essay outline or a first Internal Assessment attempt often shifts before raw marks visibly catch up, since the student stops second-guessing structure before they get measurably faster at producing content. Give the chosen tutor a genuinely fair term, roughly ten to twelve weeks, before wondering whether the one you did not choose might have been better; that comparison is rarely fair to run in your head after the fact. If progress does stall after a fair trial, going back to comparing a fresh pair of tutors is a reasonable next step, not a sign the earlier process failed, and IB Gram builds that second shortlist the same careful way as the first. Families who compared properly the first time round usually find the second comparison, if it is ever needed at all, considerably faster, since they already know what to ask and what to watch for in a trial class.

A shrinking error log across a few weeks says more than one strong first impression.

No tutor, however impressive in a trial, can guarantee a grade or a mark boundary.

Give the chosen tutor a fair term before comparing them against the one not chosen.

Confidence in a draft or an oral response often shifts before raw marks do.

If progress stalls after a fair trial, comparing a fresh pair of tutors is reasonable.

Starting IB and IGCSE Home Tuitions in Gurgaon With a Shortlist

Starting IB and IGCSE home tuitions in Gurgaon with a proper comparison rather than a single hurried choice takes very little extra time and tends to save far more later. Send IB Gram a query or book a free consultation with your child's board, level, subject and sector or society ready, and ask directly for two or three profiles to compare rather than accepting the first one offered. Once the shortlist arrives, decide whether you want to compare on paper first or run trial classes with more than one tutor before choosing, and either is entirely reasonable depending on how close the profiles look. If you do run more than one trial, space them a few days apart, cover similar content where you can, and ask your child directly which one felt clearer once both are done. Decide within a week or two rather than letting the comparison stretch out, since a slot held open too long can disappear from a strong tutor's schedule. And the comparison does not end once you choose: if the fit does not hold up over the following weeks, IB Gram arranges a different tutor, subject to availability, the same careful way the first shortlist was built, rather than leaving you to make do with a choice that is not working. Starting IB and IGCSE home tuitions in Gurgaon this way, with a genuine shortlist rather than a single guess, is a small amount of extra effort up front for a considerably steadier term afterwards.

Have your child's board, level and subject ready before the first call.

Ask for two or three profiles rather than settling for the first name offered.

Book trial classes with more than one tutor if you want to compare directly.

Decide within a week or two once both trials are done.

Ask for a different tutor later if the choice does not hold up.

FAQs

IGCSE tutoring FAQs for Gurgaon

How should home tuition be planned across the school year?+

Start the year by filling gaps from the previous grade and learning the syllabus structure. Midyear, move to application questions and written practice. In the final stretch, concentrate on past papers, mark schemes and timing. A tutor who plans this way keeps the student ahead of school.

When is the best time to start IB or IGCSE home tuition?+

Early in the academic year is ideal, since the Gurgaon school year runs from April for most international schools. Starting after a poor first test is also fine. The worst time is the month before final exams, when there is little room to build understanding.

What should the plan look like before mock exams?+

About six to eight weeks before mocks, the tutor usually moves from teaching new content to timed past papers and error analysis. Each paper is marked against the official scheme, and weak topics are revisited. Sessions may increase for that period only.

Do we commit to a full year of tuition upfront?+

Not necessarily. Many families agree on a term at a time, which allows the plan to change as the student improves or needs shift. Ask the tutor whether they will plan beyond the current term, and whether a short break during holidays is acceptable.

How do I keep a long tuition plan on track?+

Ask for a one page plan listing topics per month and review it each term against school test results. If a topic is taking longer, adjust the plan. A tutor who never revises the plan is probably not watching how the student is actually doing.

Can home tuitions pause during school holidays and exams?+

Yes. Many families pause for family trips and school breaks, then increase hours before important exams. Agree this at the start so the tutor can keep a slot for you. Some tutors prefer a light holiday programme to keep the student practising.

Ready to plan IGCSE support in Gurgaon?

Send IB Gram your child's board, level, subject and Gurgaon sector, and ask for two or three profiles to compare rather than just one. Trial classes can be arranged with more than one tutor before you choose, and lessons then run at home, online or hybrid. If the choice does not hold up, a different tutor is arranged, subject to availability, the same way the first shortlist was built.
