In the classroom, no teacher can ensure that all the students enjoy a personalized learning experience. While some might be able to understand what they are being taught, they are others who might find it difficult to. This is why it is a common practice for parents to hire the help of a private tutor for their child (ren). Doing this has lots of benefits: the opportunity to ask questions when they don’t understand, go back to certain topics as much as they want, enjoy the one-on-one learning experience, and in general develop the most suitable approach to learning.
One outstanding feature of a private tutor is the ability to create individual study plans and ensure that the student’s personal learning needs are met. With a private tutor, the students are given one-to-one attention throughout the duration of their lessons, which enables them to ask any questions and focus on specific areas of a subject that they may need help with.
One-on-one Learning Experience
This I will say is the most important benefit of hiring a private tutor. And because the student is alone with the teacher, he or she gets full attention from the tutor. This is crucial as there is time for questions and answers, discussions, and correction of mistakes at the same time. If your child is one that finds it difficult to ask questions in the class, they have higher chances to progress if left in the care of a private tutor.
Lacking Areas to Work On
A professional tutor will be able to easily pinpoint your child’s weak points and improve on them. Although these can also be identified in the school, due to the lack of time and probably large class size, the teacher might not be able to deliver the help your child needs. But with the help of a professional, all they have to do is follow orders and do their best to learn.
Higher Grades at School
Practice makes perfect – spending additional time learning a topic outside the classroom affects their school performance positively. Students build self-confidence when they learn something deeper than what they are taught in the classroom. A rise in school grade is the best reward for such effort to learn privately. After one-on-one classes students become well educated, have a better outlook, and are able to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their actions – all of these are necessary not only at school but also in life.
No rush
At school, teachers are given a task to finish the “study syllabus” at some precise point in time. Therefore, they go topic by topic without giving everyone an equal opportunity to catch up. Since students are different and process information differently, some of them are just often left behind. Imagine, understanding one topic but not the next one which is more advanced. With a private tutor, your child is given as much time as he/she needs so the tutor doesn’t move to the next topic unless they fully understand the current one.
Flexible Study Hours
In class students are forced to sit through about 8 classes per day, not minding if they are tired or not. At the start of the day the students are still able to learn and understand, but once it is past break-time, their learning pace reduces. But with a private tutor, the student is able to select his/her perfect learning time. In the case of individual learning, the tutor is able to adapt to the students’ learning schedules.
