Looking for Olympiad Tuition? 7 Questions to Ask Before You Pay
If you are searching for olympiad tuition near you, these seven questions will tell you more than any brochure.
The checklist
Ask these before the first payment, and ask for specifics, not assurances.
- How many full-length timed mock tests are included per term?
- Do students receive written explanations for every question?
- What is the batch size, and who teaches — the founder or an assistant?
- Is the Achievers Section taught separately?
- Can we see last year's actual results, not selected testimonials?
- Is there a trial class or refund window?
- How much homework is expected each week?
If the answers are vague
A structured self-study route — chapter theory, section-wise practice, weekly timed mocks with explanations — outperforms a weak batch and costs a fraction of it.
