Nature of Engagement

Helios Academic operates as a private academic practice delivering one-to-one academic support for students preparing for high-stakes examinations.

Engagement is shaped by examination system, academic trajectory, and the student’s broader commitments. Academic work is directed toward clarity, continuity, and disciplined progression over time.

Academic Programmes

Ongoing engagement forms the core of the practice. Sessions are scheduled at a fixed weekly cadence and billed monthly.

  • Standard Engagement
    1 hour per week · billed monthly
    Suitable for students requiring steady oversight, consolidation, and structured progression across the academic year.
  • Extended Engagement
    2 hours per week · billed monthly
    Appropriate where examination demands are greater, where multiple topics require active development, or where sustained reinforcement is required.
  • Intensive Engagement
    3+ hours per week · billed monthly
    Three or more scheduled one-to-one sessions per week.Reserved for students facing significant academic pressure, compressed timelines, or complex examination requirements.

Defined Academic Intensives

In specific circumstances, engagement may take the form of a defined academic intensive.These are structured, pre-agreed allocations of academic time designed for clearly scoped objectives and finite timeframes.Available formats:

  • 6-Hour Intensive
  • 12-Hour Intensive
  • 24-Hour Intensive

Academic intensives are planned in advance and delivered within an agreed scope of work. They are most suitable where objectives are clearly identified and a focused intervention is appropriate.

Discretion & Capacity

Helios Academic maintains limited capacity in order to preserve continuity and quality of engagement.

Recommendations are made on the basis of academic suitability, examination context, and scheduling feasibility. Engagement is confirmed only where alignment is clear.

Academic Diagnostic Session

60-minute video consultation

The Academic Diagnostic Session is available for families who wish to undertake a formal academic review prior to entering ongoing engagement.

Delivered one-to-one by the principal educator, the session examines the student’s current academic standing, examination requirements, and areas requiring attention. It concludes with considered academic feedback and, where appropriate, a recommendation regarding next steps.
