How can Private Tutoring Help Me?
Private tuition will help you if:
You have exams in the near future and need help with revision - The tutor will go over the work with you at a pace that suits you, teach you how to answer exam questions and give you mock tests to measure your progress, also the tutors will recommend GCSE revision guides for GCSE students and A Level revision guide for A Level students.
You are finding a particular subject hard at school - The rest of the class seems to "get it" straight away and you don't want to look silly by asking for help all the time. The tutor will go over the subject more slowly so that you understand it, you won't be ridiculed or judged because there is no-one there to watch! This will increase your confidence in the subject and you will find that you are not getting stuck all the time, please note that tutoring is common thorough out united kingdom.
You always get good marks in coursework, get brownie points for good work in class but don't do so well in exams - This is a common problem with many students and most often due to poor exam and revision techniques. All tutors are trained to teach pupils how to learn effectively and how to tackle exams but they can't sit the exams for you. It's up to you to put these skills into practice.
How Will I Know The Tutorial Is Working ?
We have a policy of providing you with a written progress report every three months. However you can get a verbal progress report from the tutor much more frequently than this.
Tell Me More About The Study And Revision Skills Program
The study skills program helps students learn how to do their best in and out of school with the most efficient use of their time. Students learn how to study textbooks, take notes, make effective summaries, listen effectively, prepare for tests, manage study time, and increase reading speed and comprehension. They will be taught an advantageous 'learning' approach and the basic skills which can be applied to all subjects.
There are currently no provisions within the National Curriculum to cater for these skills; consequently, teachers are restrained from devoting sufficient time and resources to this area. This can be a major handicap to children as, without sufficient preparation, many students are unfamiliar with the strategies needed to tackle examinations.
