Essential FAQs For Online Tutoring
Why do parents use tutoring for their children?
It is a completely personal thing and depends on your child’s requirements. Some people use the lessons as a top up to daily schooling to ensure a deeper level of understanding in a particular subject area, whereas others have a particular goal in mind such as a SATS paper or a Summer programme to keep the learning fresh. Using a qualified teacher ensures that your child will enjoy a positive and inspiring classroom atmosphere, in which they are motivated and inspired to succeed. Their progress will be tracked, with help given to support students who may need extra assistance along the way. The lessons will be engaging and progressed at an optimal pace to ensure that they maximize their learning potential and achieve improved academic results.
How long do the lessons last?
The one to one lessons typically last 1 hour, although they can be shortened or extended depending on individual requirements. Session times are designed to offer the perfect balance for pupils to retain optimum concentration levels and cognitive stamina, but it can depend on each child’s learning style. The allocated time allows students to focus effectively, engage in meaningful learning activities, and retain information without becoming too fatigued.
I am a home-schooling parent, how can you help?
As a parent, it can take a significant amount of time and resources to design and deliver a full home-schooling programme. Adding Tutor Lessons will complement and add a depth of understanding to this style of education and will leave you time to focus on other areas of the learning journey. Specialized subject instruction, additional resources and individualized support will be tailored to your child’s needs. Guidance, discussions and progress assessments can help to alleviate your teaching workload and ensure a well-rounded and effective home-schooling experience.
I want to feel more connected to my child’s learning experience.
This is not an uncommon concern for parents to have and you might feel that it is easier not to talk about it and just carry on. However, it is an important issue to address and at the earliest possible opportunity to ensure that your child is getting the most out of their education. At Tutor Lessons, you are offered the opportunity to have a complimentary consultation in which you will be able to discuss your child’s learning requirements, learning style and any concerns that you might currently have. Your feedback will act as a foundation for the design of the tailored lesson plans with an aim to building your child’s independent learning skills and increasing confidence in their own abilities.
Will the lessons suit my child’s style of learning?
The lessons are based on the National Curriculum and will complement much of the learning that your child does at school. Due to the small number of pupils, carefully developed lesson plans will be tailored to the unique learning needs of each pupil, allowing ample time for questioning, correction of misconceptions and embedding learning for each learning objective.
What are the benefits of small group/one to one learning?
There are many benefits of this type of tuition and include a more relaxed environment in which to learn, where less confident pupils are happier to share their ideas. There is more time for the teaching to be focused on the needs of each child, with the learning journey specifically designed to work at a pace and style that is required to achieve each of their learning objectives. As a parent/carer you will be made to feel part of the learning team and will receive regular feedback on your child’s progress, so that you are aware of progress made and areas to be developed.
