How can our tutoring help you?

Achieving high grades takes hardwork, good lessons and a good foundation. Our tutoring program is one on one private. We focus on teaching the concept first, based on understanding and not memorizing. We then go over problems and homework with our students step by step, so that our students understand the rationale behind the steps. It's more than just answering a few questions, because your teachers will change questions on tests and you need to know how to apply them.

The QEA approach is a systematic approach to build your foundation and understanding.

Disclaimer:

The guide below is based on our experience and research. We do not represent any universities. Change can occur without updating this page. We do not take responsbility on your success or failure of your admission interviews. Consult your own expert. Use this information on your own merit.

There is an increasing number of universities, who require video interviews as part of the application process.

More universities programs, especially business schools now add video interviews as part of their supplmentary application


What is the format of a video interview?

There are 2 types of interview format. 1) They provide you with the questions ahead of time, usually 2-3 weeks, then you login and start your interview process and answer those questions. And 2) You have to answer those questions on video, on the spot, with no prior preparations. For type 2 interview questions, they often give you 1-2 minutes to thinking about your answers, then you turn on your video and begin answering your questions for about 2-3 minutes.

The entire interview process lasts for about 15-20 minutes, where you answer 4-6 questions that are around 3 minutes each. However, these time are approximate and it varies between universities and programs, and universiteis change this regularly.

How to prepare your answers ahead of time?

There are 3 types of questions:

1. Experience questions - share your achievements / experience that showcase your leadership / teamwork / organization skills

2. Creative questions - these are abstract questions, like "What is your favourite colour and why?". It tests your creative thinking

3. Problem solving questions - these questions are designed to test your analytical thinking, such as designing an experiment. Or questions such as "Design an experiment to measure traffic at an intersection"
