FAQ
Can I create a new class with friends?
Yes, you can create a new class with friends (subject to teacher availability). Each person will need to fill out the enrolment form and list the others in the “Names of desired classmates” field. You’ll generally need at least 4 students in total (including yourself) to form a new class.
Can I join in the middle of a term?
Yes! If you are joining mid-topic or miss a lesson, we will always catch you up through resources such as detailed lesson videos and tutorials bookable with your teacher.
How does the 2 lesson trial work?
Cognito Tuition offers a 2-lesson, obligation-free trial for weekly courses. If you choose to continue, the trial lessons will be included in your invoice. If you decide that Cognito is not for you, walk away without paying anything.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons at Cognito are 2 hours long and cover topic content, practice questions and more. Students are expected to complete and mark the homework assigned in their own time.
Is there a lock-in period?
No, there’s no lock-in period for our weekly courses. If you choose to drop a subject at school and need to discontinue the course at Cognito, your invoice will be adjusted on a pro rata basis.
What if I can't make my lesson?
No problem! We have multiple classes running the same lesson throughout the week, so you can do a makeup at a different time. If you cannot attend a makeup lesson, we provide you the lesson booklet and all the digital resources you need to catch up, including lesson videos, and topic revision videos.
