I still have more questions:
So what exactly is
tutoring &
how can it help?
The purpose of tutoring is to
help students help themselves and to
assist or guide them to the point at which they become independent,
successful learners. Tutoring is available in your home, at a
local or national tutoring center, and online.
How can tutoring help students?
Tutoring can be the difference between a
student
who flounders and one who flourishes. For many students it is not only
appropriate, but necessary to have a tutor. While most work and
learning takes
place in school, our tutors perform an invaluable function in helping
to
reinforce a student’s educational development.
We assist students with assessment
preparation, reading
and writing skills and apply them to homework assignments, as well as
introduce
study and organization skills.
Even gifted students can benefit from the focused attention of a tutor
to
challenge their minds and keep them excited about learning.
How do you know if
tutoring is needed?
There
are many possible reasons why students may need tutoring. Here
are some
of the most important reasons:
- Grades are dropping
- Schoolwork is becoming
increasingly difficult
- Increased resistance to doing
homework
- Anxiety leading up to exams
- Self-esteem is deteriorating
- Loss of interest and a
declining ability to learn
- Reluctance
to attend classe
What are the benefits of tutoring?
Tutoring
can be beneficial in many ways. Here are some of the benefits:
- Encourages self-directed
learning
- Improves knowledge and
understanding of subject matter
- Increases motivation to learn
- Improves grades
- Provides personalised
attention
- Enables students to progress
at own pace
- Encourages more efficient use
of study time
- Improves self-esteem and
confidence
- Provides feedback and
encouragement
