Increased confidence in and out of the classroom.
Students gain self-confidence when they are able to conquer a subject that may have caused them to feel left behind in class. After one-on-one tutoring, students are more erudite, have a broader outlook, are able to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their actions – all of these are necessary not only at school, but also in life.
Student can work at their own pace.
At school, teachers are obligated to keep up with a scheduled curriculum. Unfortunately, as the class moves from topic to topic, this may not give everyone an equal opportunity to catch up. As students are different and process information differently, some of them are just often left behind. Imagine, you are stuck on one topic, and a proper understanding of this topic is essential to understanding the next, more advanced topic. The tricky part is that next lesson you have to excel even more but you cannot because you are missing on something just before it. With an individual tutor, the student is given as much time as they need so we don’t move to the next topic unless they fully understand the current one.
Identified areas to work on
Usually, it is difficult to judge oneself and correctly identify the areas which you need improvement in. A tutor can do it very easily and also suggest a plan how the “problems” are going to be tackled. A professional tutor knows what to do, when, and how much time should be spent on it. What is left for the student to do is to obediently follow this plan and do their best to help themselves and get the benefits from it.
Better time management
It might be difficult to “squeeze” this complementary learning between a lot of different responsibilities a student can have. However, it’s a good chance to practice planning time efficiently. It’s also about prioritizing – students learn to understand that sometimes they have to give up something if they want to achieve their goal.
