Why work with HPS instead of getting an Instructor myself?
At HPS, we have access to more than 1000 instructors in different specialities and locations across South-West. This makes it possible for us to match your ward with the very best of the best tutors without any stress to you. We try to work with your budget and make the entire process as stress free and flexible as possible. Also in the event where you need to make a drastic change such as changing location, changing the instructor (for whatever reason) or changing the subjects being taught by the instructor.
How do you operate?
Three easy steps
- The client/parent is required to fill our online form which helps us collect all the important information about the student that we need to match them to a highly suitable instructor.
- We Search our database for instructors who suit your preference and required skill set.
- Handle all negotiations with the instructors and send the most suitable instructor to you.
What ages/classes do you work with?
We work with students from ages 4 upwards. However, for any child between 4 and 8 we require that a nanny or guardian must be present with the child at all times while the instructor is teaching/coaching the child. This is because our instructors ARE NOT NANNIES and are not responsible for feeding the child, washing clothes etc.
We charge based on a number of factors including:
- How specialized is the knowledge or skill set that is to be taught?
- How many people (kids) is the instructor expected to handle?
- How often is the instructor expected to come and how many hours each session expected to take?
- Distance between the instructor and the clients residence.
- The level of experience that the client requires the instructor to have
- The age of the child.

What if the fee is beyond my budget?
We do our best to ensure that we are able to work within reasonable budgets (usually above 30,000 per month) and since we work with such a large number of instructors we are always able to find tutors within your budget.
How flexible are the arrangements?
The arrangements are extremely flexible and can be changed based on further conversation between client and instructor. In cases where the new arrangements by a client are no longer favourable for the instructor we are able to find a new instructor for the client with no extra charge if given at least a one months notice of the change.
Would the instructor steal from my house, how do I know he/she is a responsible individual?
The home is a very sacred place and we take extra precautions to ensure that our instructors are not only highly responsible but in a case of any reported issues we are able to track them. HPS handles the cost of elaborate due diligence on the instructor.
