What Are 4 Benefits of Private Tuition For Students?

It is no surprise that private tutoring is becoming more popular due to the ongoing pandemic. In Singapore, parents understand why it is beneficial for their child to attend tuition as it is a way for their child to get an advantage over their peers. However, parents are paranoid about leaving their children exposed to public spaces and the increased risk of exposure to the Covid virus. Hence, most parents are opting for home tuition instead. 

Besides being the safer choice during a pandemic, hiring a private tutor comes with a multitude of additional benefits to help your child excel. In this article, we will talk about the 4 biggest benefits your child will receive from enrolling in a private tuition.

1. One-to-one coaching

A significant positive of private tuition is the amount of time and attention a student will receive from their tutor. Tutors will be able to focus on their students with undivided attention, compared to teaching a class full of thirty to forty students. With fewer distractions and a more focused approach, the tutor can effectively work on a student's weaker points, making learning easier for the student.

2. Choosing the right teacher for learning needs 

There is a wide range of tutors available with different skill sets and teaching methods, and finding the right tutor can engage and motivate students to learn better. All students have different learning styles. Some students who may be visual or kinesthetic learners may not be able to perform as well in school due to the more commonly used auditory and logical methods of instructions. However, with private tuition, students or parents can pick a tutor they feel most comfortable with regarding teaching style and specialisation.

3. Customised lessons and materials

Another great advantage of private tuition is that tutors can conveniently customise lessons to suit the needs of every student. In school, students may have to work at a different pace to follow the rest of the class, and they might need more teaching in areas they struggle with. 

However, with private tuition, tutors can alter the pace and focus of a lesson based on a student's needs, increasing learning efficiency. Furthermore, private tuition can also significantly help students with learning disorders such as dyslexia, as tutors will prepare lesson materials and conduct lessons accordingly to best suit the student.

4. Improve confidence and save time 

Tutors and students can form much stronger relationships due to direct coaching. Tutors will then be able to get to know the areas in which the student struggles and give them extra assistance. Furthermore, private tuition allows shy students to express themselves better, as they will feel more comfortable sharing their struggles when they are not around their peers.  

With the rising trend of online tutoring, it has become even more accessible to learn and access lessons with an internet connection from anywhere. Additionally, it saves the student much time, as the tutors come to them instead. It is much easier to organise a timetable set around other commitments and co-curricular activities due to the flexibility of private tutors.
