Tutor Testimonial

Great platform for tutors, it is simple to use but highly effective, providing high quality interactions between myself and the students. The learning platform is functional and interactive, complete with a range of tools to support a variety of teaching strategies. It is easy to navigate and enabled me to adapt lessons quickly.

I particularly like the balance between the camera and the notebook. Allowing me interact with the students in a variety of ways. Affinity provide excellent set up and administrative processes in addition to clear and concise technical support.
