There are many reasons parents choose tutoring for their children. Some parents feel unable to help their children with schoolwork. Others may find their children are more receptive to working through school struggles with another person. Tutoring can help strengthen subject comprehension, boost confidence and build important learning skills.
Tutoring gives students individualised attention that they don’t get in a crowded classroom. This helps children who struggle to keep up, as well as those who aren’t challenged enough. It also keeps students on track during breaks from school, such as half term or during the summer.
With Advancement Tutoring, our customised tutoring programs teach your child the skills he or she needs to deal with the challenges of school, and will help him or her develop critical thinking and learning skills that are used for life.
What are the benefits of tutoring?
Uniquely created tutoring programs from Advancement Tutoring can help your child develop study and learning skills that will help set up your child for success for his or her entire life. There are many advantages of tutoring services:
1. Individual and unique learning experience
Your child will receive an individualised learning experience he or she can’t always get in a classroom setting. Tutors can customise the lessons and activities just for your child.
2. One-on-one attention
Tutors get to know your child’s individual learning style and can adapt teaching methods accordingly. They act as your child’s own private teacher.
3. Improves academic performance
Tutoring will prepare your child for tests and exams, while tutors work with your child on specific problem areas. Your child’s grades and understanding of the subject will significantly improve when working with a tutor.
4. Improves attitude towards learning and school
Learning will become fun for your child. With constant encouragement and praise, your child will no longer feel overwhelmed or frustrated with school.
5. Encourages self-paced and self-directed learning
With tutoring, your child will learn to take the initiative with his or her school work. Your child will also learn how to control the learning pace.
6. Improves self-esteem and confidence
Your child’s self-esteem and confidence will increase through tutoring by providing him or her with the resources and skills he or she needs to excel in school.
7. Improves work and study habits
Through tutoring, your child will learn work and study habits he or she will use for life. These skills will help prepare your child to successfully achieve his or her goals both inside and outside of school.
8. Positive work space
Tutoring in your child’s own home provides an environment free of distractions or disruptions so your child is better able to focus on learning.
9. Encourages independence and responsibility
Your child will gain the ability to do school work on his or her own without your help. Your child will realise his or her own personal growth and will learn to take responsibilities for his or her studies.
10. Helps overcome learning obstacles
Your child’s tutor will specifically target whichever aspect of learning he or she is having trouble with.
11. Encourages the freedom to ask questions
At school, your child may not always feel comfortable asking questions in front of his or her peers. Tutoring will help teach your child to be comfortable asking questions, big or small, without feeling self-conscious.
12. Improves social and behavioural skills
Advancement Tutoring will help your child become a better communicator, form better relationships with peers and make more positive social and behavioural adjustments.
13. Increases ability to manage one’s learning
Your child will become more competent in his or her learning and more successful in managing his or her school work.
