It can help those who are struggling to grasp the basics, the high flyers who need challenging and can help the mid-range pupil to step up and become more proficient.
The Benefits of Home Tutoring
Condensed learning for your youngster.
In the classroom, through no fault of their own, the teacher is seldom able to spend more than a total of a few minutes with each pupil. In a one to one situation with a tutor, the entire session is dedicated to the one student. This means that they have instant feedback about their understanding and can work more intensively on other aspects such as grammar and pronunciation. In addition, any questions that your child has concerning the work can be asked and dealt with immediately.
Customised learning experience.
In the classroom, a good teacher will have differentiated the work to allow access to all levels. It is, however, impossible for any classroom teacher to differentiate every lesson completely (not a criticism, it is a reflection of the lack of preparation time available) i.e. to have beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons running at the same time. With a one to one tutor, each session will be pitched exclusively for the level of your youngster.
No learning disturbances.
Young people at school suffer from many pressures, both academic and emotional. These spill over into the classroom and impact on everyone in the class. In a session with a one to one tutor, in the comfort of your own home, your youngster will be able to focus on learning without having to suffer the intrusions of others.
