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 essential learning skills.
Tutoring also bridges any learning gaps caused by the pandemic or school breaks such as over the holiday season or throughout the summer. It’s a great way to keep children who struggle on track and challenges those who aren’t being challenged enough.
The Benefits of Tutoring
Tutoring programs can help your child develop study and learning skills that will help set up your child for success for their entire life. There are many advantages of tutoring services:
- Customized, one-on-one learning: Your child receives an individualized learning experience they can’t get in a classroom setting or online. Tutors can customize the lessons and activities specifically for your child because the tutor gets to know their learning style and can adapt teaching methods accordingly. Basically, they act as your child’s own private teacher!
- Improves Academics and Attitudes: Tutoring prepares your child for tests and exams, while tutors work with your child on specific problem areas—whether it’s writing, math, language, or reading. Your child’s grades and understanding of the subject will significantly improve when working with a tutor. With constant encouragement and praise, your child will no longer feel overwhelmed or frustrated with school. When school struggles decrease, learning becomes fun again!
- Encourage self-paced and self-directed learning: With tutoring, students learn to take the initiative with their school work. Your child will also learn how to control the learning pace, which helps reinforce independence and responsibility. They gain the ability to do school work on their own, without your help. Your child will realize their personal growth and will learn to take responsibility for their studies.
- Improves self-esteem and confidence: Your child’s self-esteem sand confidence will increase through tutoring by providing them with the resources and skills needed to excel in school.
