Why are more and more parents turning to private tuition to support their child achieve? Everyone has a personal reason, of course.
However, as one of the top tuition services across Manchester and Cheshire, here are just four reasons we constantly come across:
A confidence booster
If your child is struggling at school, and just can’t get a handle on a weaker subject, private one to one tuition can help your child get to grips with a tricky topic fast.
Unable to ask for help
Many children are introverts, and hate asking for help in class. Usually the fear of looking ‘stupid’ in front of peers can scupper them from sticking their hand up. Over time, struggling becomes the norm, followed by plummeting grades and student stress.
One snag is that if you went to school in the Dark Ages (!!), you’ll know that many subjects are taught differently nowadays.
So if you don’t feel confident teaching trigonometry, Science subjects or 19th century literature, a private tutor can help! Besides, most children prefer their parents to be parents – not teachers.
Teacher change/issue
Some children feel lost when their teacher leaves – often finding it hard to transition to a new one.
Sometimes, too, teachers are so busy fire-fighting poor behaviour in class, that your child’s problem gets inadvertently over-looked.
Quality time with a tutor can help your child re-engage with the subject again.
Lagging grades
If your child or teen comes home from school with a bad report and shame written all over their face, you’ll know how hard the fall is when grades slip. And worse, some children find it so hard to claw back by themselves…
A private tutor will not only help your child work out why their grade slipped in the first place, but help them develop new strategies to ace it next time.
Finally, a good tutor will help your child believe in themselves more rather than feel such shame at failing. After all, learning from failure is the way we all learn in life.
