The Importance & Benefits of Private Tutoring::
If your aim is to improve your aptitude and knowledge base in a
particular field, all education pertaining to this subject will useful.
If this statement is assumed true, then the benefits afforded by private
tuition are enormous. You will have the advantage of a whole teacher to
yourself, with their lesson plans and strategies of teaching designed
just for you! It seems impossible to doubt the enormous benefits this
will offer.
In a classroom, one teacher may be faced with around thirty pupils, each
with different abilities, different rates of learning, and individual
strengths and weaknesses; yet despite this, for the majority of the
lesson the teacher will be forced to treat his class as if it contained
just one student. He or she will orate from one end of the classroom,
unable to gauge how effectively each pupil is assimilating the lesson.
The lesson plans will be designed to fit the needs of the average pupil;
and the teacher will proceed at a rate suitable for the average pupil.
In this environment it is all to easy for a bright child or adolescent
to fail to grasp one particular point, as the swathe of teacher talk
washes over them like the unrelenting tides. It is unlikely even the
best of teachers would spot the particular point of misunderstanding
cast on the countenance on one pupil, hidden amongst so many other
faces. To draw attention to their lack of understanding can be
intimidating for the pupil: everyone else is silent, so they must have
understood. Do I want to draw attention to myself? All too often the
misunderstanding goes unexpressed and unaided. The obvious benefit of
one to one tuition is that the tutor can tailor their teaching style to
the abilities of their student. They will be able to gauge the level of
the pupils understanding, and, more importantly, track down the sources
of misunderstanding, and deal with them effectively. Away from the
bustle of the classroom, the student will feel more able to voice their
difficulties; and having just one pupil to deal with, the teacher will
be more capable of resolving them.
Compared to the conflicts of the classroom, fraught with distractions
and intimidations from other pupils, the relaxed environment of tutor
and student can be a safe haven of erudition. Most tutors will be
willing to travel to the pupil's house, allowing them the benefit of
learning in a happy home location.A tutor will be able to focus their
teaching on a particular area: the pupil may be very competent in
mathematics overall, but be deficient in calculus, with this specific
weakness undermining their whole confidence in the subject. Maybe they
are highly literate and proficient in English language, but shy away
from public speaking. The syllabus may demand some oral work (foreign
languages certainly do), so it would be a shame if this particular and
minor deficiency detracted from their overall grade in the subject.
Even if the pupil is performing well at school or college, it is highly
likely that some private tuition will give then the edge over their
peers. For it is their friends and contemporaries that they are
competing against - many of whomay already be receiving tuition. In an
age where extra tuition is almost becoming the norm, it may be necessary
to join in, or risk being left behind. Here at Tutor Hunt, we believe
that advantages are fine, as long as they benefit you!
