When you think of the word “tutoring,” what does your mind automatically think of? The stigma around tutoring usually relates to a child struggling with a specific subject and requiring some additional help to succeed. While that may be true, it’s only half the story. The benefits for a child, whether they’re struggling or not, are paramount in their academic and social success. Before you write-off tutoring as something your child may not need, you may want to look at these 5 benefits of tutoring you didn’t know.
1. Creates Better Study Habits
When a student feels like they’re being held accountable for their work, they’re more likely to to gain a renewed interest in their school work. Especially if their tutor is someone they genuinely like, your child will look at tutoring as a positive experience.
2. Increases Confidence
When a student gets better grades, their confidence increases. By putting in extra work and seeing the rewards of their efforts, a student’s self-esteem improves, while they learn the benefits of hard work = success.
3. Provides a Challenge
If your child is already doing well in school, tutoring may help challenge them with customized lessons and advanced practice that isn’t provided in the classroom. This can motivate a child that finds school boring or uninteresting by giving them the opportunity to challenge themselves.
4. Helps With Problem Subjects
Students who previously disliked math have reported increased enjoyment when taught by a tutor over a classroom setting. Jason LeLiever, an Oxford Learning Centre Director, told Huffington Post, “It’s just that they have different learning styles. With every student learning differently, it’s not always going to gel with the way a teacher teaches.”
5. Works With Your Child’s Learning
Style
Everyone learns differently — some students are better with visuals and others with auditory. Having a tutor who understands how your child learns can help them to understand themselves. As the old saying goes, “everybody is a genius. but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” The same can be said for individual learning styles. A visual learner is going to struggle with an auditory teacher who isn’t giving them a chance to learn in a way that works for them.
