How Tutoring Can Help your Child

Although term is just ending we need to remember that learning takes places not just in a classroom.  Whether you are about to go on your travels or are having a staycation your children will still be learning.  The benefits of travel and learning outside the classroom is huge and offers your children many new experiences and and opportunities however it is never to early to get prepared for next academic year.  

Chloe will be heading into y11 and whilst she is on track to achieve the grades she needs she has expressed an interest in having a Maths tutor.   I think it is for confidence as well as for teaching her Maths.  As a teacher, I certainly see the benefit in private tuition and I have tutored in the past to A-Level Sociology students that just want some support.  

Here are top 5 benefits of summer tuition, which promote new learning, engagement and retention.

1. Increase Confidence

Use the long summer holiday to practice, reinforce and work on topics that your child has struggled with during term time. Too many students “hate” a subject, because they don’t feel confident or competent.

2. Avoid Boredom

Maintaining a regular structure over the holidays helps to keep children from becoming bored. Also, promoting new ways of learning (unconstrained by a rigid syllabus) throughout the summer will help with an easier transition back to school in September. We also have some great boredom buster activities here

3. Prevent The Summer Slide

Students experience learning loss over the summer months, as they tend not to participate in any learning activities. Practicing skills learned over the past year, and getting a head start on the upcoming curriculum can help jump-start learning, and confidence, come September.

4. Smooth the Transition into a New School

Moving schools can be a stressful, difficult and anxious time at any age. Students are learning in a new environment, making new friends and working to a new set of expectations from their teachers. A tutor can teach some of the new topics and learning strategies to help ease students into their new school.

5. Works Around You

The tutor can work around your schedule, and also tailor lessons to meet the interests and individual needs of your child.
