Frequently Asked Questions

Should tutoring surveys go to parents or students?

Both. Parents provide perspective on communication and value for money. Students give direct feedback on teaching quality and session engagement. Dual surveys give the most complete picture.

How often should tutoring services survey clients?

Send a quick survey after every session (2–3 questions) and a comprehensive survey monthly. Post-session surveys catch issues immediately.

How do surveys help match tutors with students?

Rating data reveals which tutors excel with specific age groups, subjects and learning styles. Data-driven matching leads to higher satisfaction and fewer tutor changes.

Can surveys increase referrals for my tutoring business?

Yes. Parents who rate 9–10 on NPS receive an automated referral request. Happy parents are your most effective marketing channel — surveys identify and activate them.
