WHY CHOOSE PRIVATE TUITION?

There are many reasons why parents choose private tuition for their child and the long term benefits can be enormous.

There is the obvious advantage that the whole learning process is usually conducted on a 1:1 basis, meaning that you will have the whole teacher to yourself. Secondly, the whole learning plan and teaching strategies are tailored exactly to the individual's requirements. These advantages on their own undoubtedly yield huge benefits when it comes to achieving the required standards in their education but there are many other advantages too.

Private tuition

In a classroom environment, a teacher may be faced with around 30 pupils or more with significant variances in their rates of learning and overall abilities. Despite this disparity, the teacher will often need to handle the class as a single unit with a pre­determined rate of learning. The subsequent lesson plans and teaching strategies will therefore be designed to accommodate the average pupil. In this environment, individual talents or learning difficulties can often go unnoticed, resulting in the upper and lower bounds of the learning spectrum being neglected. Consequently, some pupils may get left behind and many of the pupil's questions may go unanswered. There are also the added problems of discipline and classroom disruption from some pupils. This can cause an unwelcome distraction which is far from conducive to an effective learning atmosphere.

In contrast to this, private tuition offers a much more friendly and relaxed setting, often in the comforting reassuring surroundings of the pupil's home. Learning in this sort of environment puts the pupil at ease and makes the whole learning process more enjoyable. The ability of the tutor to tailor each learning plan to that pupil's needs can often result in a much more rapid pace of learning and understanding. It is not uncommon for a pupil to elevate their ability by 2 or 3 grades in a 6­8 month period, which can obviously make a massive difference to their exam grades. The increased levels of understanding invariably bring about a significant increase in self confidence too.

Private tuition offers much more flexibility in the whole learning process, not just in terms of the individual learning plans, but also in terms of the lesson frequency, lesson duration and the option to repeatedly study certain areas of the syllabus for each subject taught.

With all these benefits, it is not difficult to comprehend why private tuition in the UK is now more popular than ever and the demand for private tutors is now at its highest recorded level.
