Why Small Group Tuition Works

Many parents and when seeking tutoring for their children automatically assume that individual personal tuition is the only option. This may not always best serve the purpose of most effectively increasing the performance of the student.

Individual Personal Tuition

. Creates comfort for the student as they are most often in their own home environment . Student gets undivided personal attention . Help is available at the instant it is required . Student feels important

Has some unintended drawbacks

. Younger students can be intimidated by the close attention (teacher is watching) . Much of the tutors time is spent simply watching the student work with little input . Students become wholly dependent on the tutor for support . It's very expensive

Small Group Tuition

. Creates comfort for the student as they are working with peers at a similar level . Student is able to develop resilience which they need in their everyday learning environment by; working independently; reading text or resource support; checking work with their peers; only seeking tutor's help when these avenues are unsuccessful. . Their work is still monitored and support is available as and when required . They benefit from the support given to others in similar work as it happens around them sometimes in ways that they would not discover or reach as an individual. . The student feels important because they are in a group where they are treated individually. . It is as (if not more) effective and frequently at less cost.

For this and other reasons I offer a "Money back guarantee" on the fees for the first month's tuition if realistic progress is not made and you are unhappy with the arrangements.
