FAQ

GoStudent is the future of tutoring. Our vision is to help students reach their full potential and replace traditional (often unpopular) tutoring through innovative online teaching.

The offer is suitable for pupils and students of all ages who either need help with learning or want to reach their full potential with our support.

Tutors at GoStudent are committed students and teachers who are experts in their respective subjects. Before tutors can offer online classes, they have to pass a thorough quality check.

GoStudent wants to simplify learning and bring digitalisation into an outdated tutoring system. We help students with tailor-made tutoring in our virtual classroom.

We offer tutoring in all school subjects, especially Maths, Physics and English. We are currently expanding our offering for university students as well. If you cannot see a subject you would like, please contact us.

In the same way as traditional tutoring. The only difference is that student and tutor are in a virtual room. Both see/hear each other in live mode using integrated functions.

Yes, you will need a microphone so that you can communicate with the tutor. However, a webcam is not absolutely necessary. The most important thing is that you can hear each other.

Recording starts as soon as the tutor approves the recording and the student starts the recording. When the session is finished, you will immediately be asked where to save the file on your PC/laptop.

Travel time and costs are eliminated. With the recording function, the lesson can be recorded and played back at any time. Short-term bookings and changes of tutors are possible thanks to the variety of tutors.

A tutoring session lasts 50 minutes

The lesson can be recorded using the recording function. Files are shared in the chat and a digital whiteboard allows you to work together. Screen sharing is also possible.
