Why do children occasionally need a tutor?

All children can become frustrated by inefficient teaching methods. We all learn in different ways, at different paces and your child's desire to genuinely understand something - rather than just accept it at face value - often conflicts with an overloaded teacher's need to keep to syllabus targets.

How do tutors help?

We believe that many problems stem from a lack of confidence. An unpleasant teacher, illness or a learning difficulty (or even just dealing with the pressures of growing up) can reduce the child's confidence so that they no longer enjoy school in general, or studying in particular. This can lead to frustration and behavioural problems. Individual tuition bridges this gap by getting to the root of the problem. Working together, the tutor and the child can re-build the child's self esteem and restore their will to try again.

Our tutor's job is to restore your child's self-belief and quickly get them back on the track to academic success. They will also show them how assert themselves in class: to ask questions when they are interested and to seek help when they don't know the answers. We make them realise that they already know much more than they are aware of and we show them how to apply that knowledge for maximum impact.

How effective is private tuition?

During a course of tuition, our students make remarkable progress and are often amazed to see how even small changes in approach can make a big difference. Simply by being shown how exams are marked and how to read and answer questions properly, children can effectively apply the knowledge they already have to great effect. A short course of tutorials can improve exam results by an average of 20%.

Why does private tuition work?

Children respond dramatically to attention from someone to whom they look up. As soon as they realize they are able to understand their work, resistance crumbles and they really want to learn. In time, they naturally begin to generate their own motivation.

As children grow they will have to fight for their place in a competitive and rapidly changing world. Pressure on successful academic performance is continually increasing and the effective learning strategies our tutors provide will help ensure that your child fulfils their potential.

A child's problems can be rooted in an underlying medical issue. Our tutors are trained to notice this and where necessary to work alongside medical or behavioural experts to create a tuition plan that will allow the child to reach his full academic potential. Several tutors have specialist experience with ADD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, ADHD and other disorders.
