Summary
You’ll know what’s being covered each week, why it matters for marks, and what to practise between sessions, with a tutor who keeps the work tied to the school or exam requirements.
Most people come to us when grades start to slip or an exam date suddenly feels close, and they want week-to-week support that follows what school and the exam board will mark. You’ll get a clear 6 to 8 week plan, steady sessions, and progress you can track. Next, we’ll book a short assessment and match you with the right tutor.
We start with an assessment to find the gaps that are costing marks, then we turn that into a 6 to 8 week plan tied to the syllabus or exam specification. Each week we teach, practise, and check understanding, then we set a small, targeted task so the next session starts where it should, not where we guessed.
Who you are working with
We’re a small team of four tutors in Gdańsk, and we run weekly tutoring for secondary-school students and adult learners who need a plan they can stick to. We started Wyspa Tutors because we kept seeing the same pattern: people worked hard, but they revised the wrong topics, or they practised without feedback, so the weeks did not add up to better results.
We’re the right fit when you want structure you can see. We check level first, we write a short plan for the next 6 to 8 weeks, and we keep sessions aligned to the textbook, the teacher’s pace, or the exam specification you bring us. You get brief notes after each session, so you can tell what improved and what we are tackling next.
The team
You’ll deal with real people week to week, and you’ll know who is leading the work from the first session.
Team
Klara Nowak, Lead tutor. Klara leads our tutoring and does the initial assessment, then sets the 6 to 8 week plan that the sessions follow.
Michał Zieliński, Maths and science tutor. Michał teaches maths and science with lots of worked examples and short checks, so gaps show up early, not at exam time.
Agnieszka Kowalczyk, English and humanities tutor. Agnieszka supports English and humanities, with a focus on writing structure, evidence, and the exact wording marks are awarded for.
Tomasz Lewandowski, Study skills coach. Tomasz coaches study skills and organisation, including revision timetables, note systems, and how to prepare between sessions without burning evenings.
“We finally had a plan, and each week built on the last.”

How the sessions run
Most weekly tutoring sessions run for 60 minutes, either in-person or online. You bring the current textbook, recent homework, and any school notes or exam specification you have. We use those materials in the session so the practice matches what you’re being taught and marked on.
1. Initial assessment Week 1 We check current level with a short set of questions and a look at recent work. We ask what is coming up at school or in the exam timetable, then we pick the topics that will make the biggest difference first. You’ll leave knowing what we are starting with and why. 2. Weekly session Each week We start by reviewing last week’s practice and fixing any misunderstandings. Then we teach one or two focused ideas, practise them together, and do a quick check at the end so we can see what has landed. We keep examples close to the style of questions you will be set. 3. Mock and review Mid-plan We run a timed mini-mock or a short written task, depending on the subject. We mark it against the same scheme the school or exam board uses, then we go through what lost marks and how to fix it. The next sessions focus on those gaps. 4. Progress review Term end We review the work from the term and compare it to the starting point, including any school results you share. We write a brief progress report and a recommendation for the next 6 to 8 weeks, so you can keep going or pause with a clear picture of where things stand.

How do you match a tutor to my child or to me?
We start with a short assessment and a quick conversation about the subject, the exam or course, and what has been hardest so far. Then Klara matches you with the tutor who teaches that level and can meet at the right time, and we adjust if it is not the right fit.
DO YOU FOLLOW THE SCHOOL TEXTBOOK AND TEACHER PACE, OR YOUR OWN PLAN?
We follow what you are being taught and what you will be marked on. The plan is built around your school pace or your exam specification, then we use weekly sessions to fill gaps and keep you ready for what is coming next in class.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US BETWEEN SESSIONS, AND HOW MUCH HOMEWORK WILL THERE BE?
Between sessions we set a small, targeted task that matches what we covered, usually 15 to 40 minutes depending on level and timetable. We’ll tell you exactly what to do and what to bring back, so the next session starts with feedback, not guesswork.
IF WE DO THIS FOR A MONTH, WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT TO CHANGE?
After about four sessions you should expect clearer routines: you’ll know what topics you are working on and why, and you’ll see fewer repeated mistakes in the areas we have practised. The exact pace depends on starting level and how consistently the between-session practice happens.
Payment
Weekly tutoring is invoiced at the start of each period, before the sessions in it take place. Each invoice is payable within 7 days of its date.
Scheduling. We’ll agree a regular weekly time where possible, because progress is easiest to track when the sessions run on a steady rhythm. If you need to change the day or time, we’ll offer the nearest slots we have.
Cancellations. If you need to cancel or move a session, tell us as early as you can. Our cancellation notice window and any late-cancellation fee are set by the owner and will be shown when you book.
No shows. If nobody joins an online session, or we arrive for an in-person session and can’t start, it counts as a missed session. Any no-show fee is set by the owner and will be confirmed in writing when you book.
Between sessions we set a short, targeted task so the next lesson starts with feedback, not guesswork. If the task is not done, we’ll use part of the session to get it finished and rebuild the routine.
What tutoring is. Weekly tutoring is learning support and exam preparation, not therapy or medical care. We can’t promise a specific grade or pass result, because outcomes depend on starting level and between-session practice.
In-person sessions. For in-person tutoring, you’re responsible for getting the learner to the agreed location and having a workable place to study. If travel time becomes impractical, we’ll suggest switching that slot to online.
Study materials. You provide the school or course information we need to stay aligned, such as the textbook title, syllabus outline, or exam specification. We’ll bring our own teaching materials and we’ll tell you what to bring each week.
