Importance and Benefits of One on One Private Maths Tutor London

A well-rounded education is the greatest gift that any parent can give to a child. Of all the subjects, maths is one subject that can make any child as scared as snakes and spiders. The anxiety and fear of numbers can put the child at a distinct disadvantage in his education pursuit. Thus it’s not uncommon that a parent hires a private maths tutor London to ease the child’s difficulties. Opting for one-on one tutoring offers some distinct advantages group coaching in this scenario. Some of the advantages are:- The ‘Classroom Dilemma’ resolved

A group tutoring is quite similar to classroom teaching. The teacher takes care of multiple students albeit less than a classroom simultaneously. Hence it’s not possible for the tutor to understand each student on a personal level and cater to each child’s specific needs. Moreover, if a child is shy or less confident in asking about his dilemma in class, the same issue persists in the tutoring class. This defeats the entire purpose of tutoring. This ‘classroom dilemma’ is resolved in one-on-one tutoring and the child receives an undivided attention of the tutor and makes the right progress as tutoring is specially tailored for him.

Challenges are specifically conquered

In group coaching, an individual child’s learning pace, challenges or progress are not taken in consideration but the major needs of the group comes into play. The pace of the study also does not meet the pace of the child. Thus, the child may or may not cope successfully with it. The success would again depend on the child’s ability to cope. In case the child is not able to match, his self-confidence and self-esteem is bound to dip which would reflect in all aspect of his life. Thus group tutoring is likely to do more harm to him than good. However, in one-on-one tutoring, a child’s specific challenges are taken into consideration and the tutoring plan set accordingly. The pace is also flexible according to the child’s pace. Thus the tutoring comes with almost guaranteed success which reflects in the natural confidence building and boosting of the child’s abilities. He not only tackles all mathematical problems analytically and logically but is also able to extend it to other aspects of his life.

Positive attitude and accountability increased

In group coaching, it is not possible for a tutor to make students accountable for their actions. The simple reason is that he cannot provide positive reinforcement, constructive feedback, continuous encouragement and technical expertise to all. He cannot push each and every child to push their boundaries and excel beyond their boundaries. This is simply because he cannot interact individually with each child to know their strength and weakness. However, all these issues are eliminated in one-on-one tutoring. The child’s challenges are best met and thus the child is made accountable for his performance. Also the close bond formed between the tutor and child promotes progress. Thus one-on one tutoring is definitely more beneficial than group tutoring to the child’s progress in maths.
