| Q. |
Will Catalyze Center help with regular homework? |
| A. |
Yes. Catalyze Center’s objective is to help the student understand the concepts and also apply them in doing their regular home work. As Van Gogh says “If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.” Our aim is to improve the student’s understanding of concepts, so that he/she is able to apply the concepts over a wide range. |
| Q. |
How can I track the progress of my son/daughter? |
| A. |
Parents will be informed of the student’s progress through corrected assignments, tests and score cards through periodic email communications. Regular online PTA meetings will be scheduled with the parents, to update them on their child’s progress. |
| Q. |
Does it cost more to get tuitions online? |
| A. |
Please consider the amount you spend sending your son/daughter to a coaching class – Coaching fee plus the cost of travel, guides, self-study books, frequent cancellations, road safety etc. Compared to this, online learning is definitely less expensive.
Computers are an indispensable part of our life today and have become our window to the world. Learning online will definitely increase the productivity of your child, as long treks to tuition centers and crowded classrooms are avoided.

| Q. |
What are the different programs offered by Catalyze Center? |
Top |
| A. |
Catalyze Center offers 2 different ways of learning. We have one program, which offers one-on-one learning and another with a teacher catering to a group of 4 students. Depending on whether your child likes individual sessions or prefers groups, you can sign up for the program that suits your child. The maximum number of students per group is 4 and this is still a small enough class size for the teacher to provide individual attention to the students. It also helps the students interact in order to share ideas and thereby enhance their knowledge.

| A. |
Sure. This is a major advantage of online tutoring – long commutes are avoided and class timings are according to your convenience. |
