THE BENEFITS OF PRIVATE TUITION

In the UK alone, 51% of pupils and students use a private tutor. This means that private tuition must be working, right? With UK class sizes at their largest of recent years, teachers often don’t have as much time to spend with students on an individual basis as they once did.  Using a private tutor can prove invaluable as it not only assures that a student is covering the relevant course work, but it also makes certain that their approach to course work is correct. There are many reasons for investing in private tuition. Here are 10 things you can expect to benefit from:

Much Smaller Student to Teacher Ratio
Because private tuition takes place in small groups or one-to-one, students are able to focus better and are taught in a way that specifically meets their own unique needs. Here at ContactTutors, students attend in groups of up to six children, but teaching is always one-to-one.

The Right Tutor
At school, you don't have a choice about your teachers, but we match the child and the tutor following our first meeting with the child. This means students have a mentor who teaches in the most effective manner for their learning styles.

A Tailored Approach to Learning
A good tutor will take the time to create a study plan for each individual student to ensure that they receive a personalised service. With private tuition, students are given one to one attention throughout the duration of their lessons, which enables them to ask any questions and focus on specific areas of a subject that they may need help with.




Improved Performance in School

Many students find that private tuition helps improve their coursework in class. As students become more confident in a subject, their motivation to do well increases. This can often lead to an overall improvement in their grades. What’s more, some of the techniques that they learn from their tutor can also be transferred to other subjects.

Extra review
Often in school there is only a limited time to review a child's work and understanding. That may not always be enough. Having a private tutor gives students an extra chance to review the areas in which they may be struggling. 

Homework help
With a tutor, students enjoy having a guide who can make the topics that they're covering for homework less stressful, less of a chore and more of an effective learning experience.
Test practice
For students who struggle with studying for tests, private tuition helps them to develop better study skills and ultimately to perform better in exams.
Enhanced Understanding
School courses can often move quickly and many students don’t grasp every aspect of a topic before it’s time to move on. With private tuition, students are given the opportunity to concentrate on those topics that they don’t fully understand, because without the basics, learning gets more and more difficult as time goes on.




Improved Confidence

Using a private tutor can often give students a much needed confidence boost. Due to the ‘one to one’ nature of private tuition, tutors can quickly identify which areas a student may need improvement in – something that students may not be able to identify on their own.  Sometimes all it takes to instill a little confidence in a student is to have a tutor identify what they are doing correctly and suggest how they may improve in the areas they are falling short in.

 

Safe environment for open discussion

Sometimes students may not be as willing to ask questions in a large class, but working with a private tutor gives them more confidence and the freedom to speak out.

Students get taught by innovative methods 

Because private tuition is one-to-one, tutors are willing to experiment with new teaching styles that work more effectively for the student.

  

Flexible Learning

For some students, working within the confines of a 9 to 5 school day doesn’t always inspire their maximum learning potential. Some students, who study creative subjects, find that they work best at certain times during the day. Using a private tutor enables students to schedule lessons when it suits them.  






Better Time Management

For students, one of the biggest challenges of their school career is managing their time effectively. They may have several other interests outside of school and balancing each of them appropriately can often be difficult. A good tutor will be able to help students come up with their own study schedules and recommend, when, where and how to study.

 

Saves parents and students time and effort

Parents with busy schedules don't always have time to help their children with school work. Having a private tutor takes the pressure off (although we would always encourage parents to spend time with their children wherever possible!). 

Stronger drive to perform to their very best

Because private tuition means the instructor is really focused on the success of the student, students are far more likely to have an increased drive to perform to the very best of their ability.

It’s Affordable

The private tuition is constantly growing and it’s worth an estimated £6 billion. Whereas private tuition used to be considered somewhat of a luxury, demand for the service has ensured that prices are now competitively affordable.  Tutoring prices do vary according to a tutor’s experience and qualifications, but generally, tutors tend to charge somewhere in the region of £15 - £70 per hour.
