Tutoring is probably one of the oldest teaching methods. Today tutoring programs are widely available to students through their schools, community agencies as well as private tutorial services. Today, students at all levels receive tutoring to help them to master reading, mathematics, chemistry, and physics.  The purpose of tutoring is to guide students to the point at which they become independent learners, and thus no longer need a tutor.

 If tutoring is conducted in “the right way”, the student will benefit tremendously from the tutoring. Tutoring offers systematic, structured learning experience in a more individualized way. It also improves the tutee’s self-esteem, attitude toward the subject, and academic performance as well as personal growth. There are several benefits of getting a tutor for your child. It’s an accepted fact that students have different learning styles. However, in a classroom environment, it is impossible for teachers to tailor their classes to each student’s learning style so classroom sessions tend to be generic. While this may suit some students, it does not work well for everybody. Slower learners may struggle to keep pace with the rest of their peers while fast learners may get bored in the classroom. A private tutor easily resolves all of these issues. Private tutors adjust the pace and style of their teaching to suit the student’s needs and abilities. Another huge advantage of getting a tutor is the amount of one-to-one attention a student receives from their teacher. In large classrooms, where a teacher may divide their attention, some students easily get lost in the crowd. Even when they do have a problem, they hesitate to approach the teacher for help. During a private session, the tutor focuses their attention fully on their student. The importance of this one-to-one attention cannot be overemphasized. A tutor helps an easily distracted student stay focused. If they cannot make progress in a subject because of a weak foundation, the tutor will go back to basics and explain important concepts from scratch, paving the way for advanced learning. Tutoring helps a child in understanding complex concepts more easily, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
