THE VALUE OF ONE ON ONE TUTORING

The personalized interaction with a qualified tutor and using a clear and objective based learning plan can provide learning “luxuries” which are not practical in a classroom setting:

  • Ability to work on any subjects of choice and to ask any questions freely. 

    Many children are afraid to ask questions in the classroom even though the answers might help them with their work. They believe the rest of the class understands the material, so their question will appear “dumb.” so they are intimidated.   One-on-one tutoring eliminates the fear of embarrassment.

  • Instant feedback on performance

    A child who is having trouble understanding his work needs to have constant assurance that he is doing his work correctly. With one-on-one tutoring, students are given instant feedback and are kept on course academically.

  • Freedom to work at one’s own speed

    During one-on-one tutoring, students are free from the often-frustrating time constraints they experience in the classroom. (too fast or too slow)

  • Close attention to individual learning needs and learning style

    A private tutor can help break down an assignment into manageable portions so that the student can successfully complete each step at a level where they can understand the material and process the meaning of the material.  Students can also be shown how to use their own particular learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)  to their advantage. Similarly, their areas of weakness can be identified and strengthened.

  • Undivided attention for the impromptu questions that feed one’s intellectual needs

    Students should be encouraged to be curious about their studies. They  should have a forum to get answers to their questions. An answer is so much more meaningful when the child has asked the question themselves. There is rarely an opportunity for students to ask their individual questions in a large classroom setting.

  • Avoidance of the inevitable conflict that arises when parents have to help with homework at the end of a hectic day. Unfortunately very common.
