Educational Services

Educational services are in the heart of Drakanon. This page lists currently available services:

Tutoring

Are you a primary school or university student trying to make sense of some of the course material that eludes all logic. Or are you a parent of one. Don't worry. Drakanon can help! A tutor can help you understand the tricky bits you missed in the classroom and felt embarrassed about asking before other students.
Topics currently offered for tutoring include astronomy, physics and mathematics.

Consulting

Are you a primary school headmaster with an astronomy course that was designed 20 years ago by a space enthusiast physics teacher, who graduated from college in 1984. Don't kill the messenger, but about 99% of the content of that course is obsolete and possibly 50% absolutely incorrect. Drakanon can help! We can either design a new course for you or assist your current astronomy teacher in updating the information and topics (as a 20 year old course misses even some of the mainstream topics in modern astronomy).

Pricing

As each of these kinds of problems is completely unique, we shall provide you a cost estimate after the first consultation on the matter. Typically you can expect a consulting fee of £ 100-150 per hour. Cost of entire courses will be calculated depending on their contents.

Teaching

Maybe your school does not have qualified staff for teaching astronomy, or the current staff is too busy with other duties. Maybe you are interested in a new topic that would be too cumbersome to do yourself. Drakanon can help! Avoid difficult bureaucracy in hiring a teacher and buy the teaching as a service from us.

Experience...

...is the key to success in education. An experienced teacher and hard work (practice) will give any student readiness to tackle any problem within the topic and, often, in life.
