Private Tutoring: The Benefits

Tutoring works, so it’s little wonder that private tutoring is so popular these days. Studies indicate that it can comfortably move a student one and a half grades. This could mean moving a student from a low D to a good C, or a low B to a good A grade.

Parents are queuing up for the services of  tutors, spending between $25 and $80 (sometimes over $150 per session) and it’s not just the rich who are doing it. It isn’t uncommon to read about families with modest incomes investing in home tutors in an effort to help their child keep up or give them that competitive edge.

If you are considering private tutoring for your child, these are some of the benefits you may wish to consider:

Private tutoring can work at a your child’s pace

This is probably the number one consideration for seeking private tutoring. If you are a parent, you can surely recall the time you were at school and for some reason, you had difficulty and could not keep up with the class. As the class moved on you lacked the basis for the next area and fell further behind. You always wished that someone would explain these areas to you from scratch. Tutors can do just that; unblock one area of learning to make way for further learning.

Private tutors provide consistency and focus

You get the same tutor every week who builds a working relationship with your child. With a single student to focus on, private tutors can work with the parents and teachers to address a child’s specific needs.

Private tutors can give your child much-needed one-to-one attention

Is your child very visual, relying on maps, picture and visual stimuli to learn? Does your child prefer to learn by jumping directly into an activity rather than spending a long time reading text information? Children, like adults, have different learning styles and a personal tutor is able to cater classes to their preferences in the way that an educator teaching 20-odd kids at once is simply unable to. Private tutoring can save your child from falling through the cracks of an education system which can often be all too generic. Private tutoring differs from commercial learning centers which often share some drawbacks of the classroom.

Private tutors can work on specific obstacles to learning

Dyslexia, dyspraxia, sight impairment, or hearing loss can get in the way of a child learning and communicating. A specialized, qualified tutor with experience and true vocation can help your child advance in leaps and bounds.

A good private tutor will not only teach your child core subjects; they will also teach them vital study skills

These include time management, handy tips like summarizing and focusing on titles while skim reading, and strategies like paying attention to what the teacher emphasizes in class, in order to predict the content of future tests.

Private tutoring is convenient

Private tutoring is done by appointment which allows you to fit sessions into your schedule. This allows you to work around sports and other activities.

Private tutoring allows you to access the very best material possible

If you have done your homework and hired a qualified tutor with good references and a true vocation for what they do, they will not only be using your child’s textbooks to teach; rather, they will be knowledgeable on a host of alternative teaching methods which focus less on structure and more on discovering the way we actually learn and retain information.

A private tutor will help your child set goals and objectives for themselves

Study is not just about improving one’s marks at school; it is also about achieving specific targets which can go beyond those determined by the official curriculum. For instance, a gifted child may be given the goal of mastering a higher Oxford Reading level than her age suggests. This ensures that gifted and talented children (as well as those who are slightly more advanced than their peers) can continue to be stimulated and challenged, which is particularly vital for high level learners.

A private tutor frees parents from the duties of conducting a child’s homework sessions themselves

Some subject matter can be challenging even for parents. Most parents feel like they don’t have enough time to be with their children, and would prefer not to spend the little time they do have with their children on something as potentially conflictive or tense as study.
