Tutoring is becoming increasingly popular among Primary and Secondary School students in the UK. It is estimated that around 1 in 7 UK students receive tuition outside of school. Additional academic attention and support can be vital for helping students to improve their marks in challenging subjects and to achieve high grades in important school and university entrance tests.
While Seven Springs Education’s aim is to create, engaged learners, helping our students achieve the highest possible marks in important examinations is also a key part of our role as tutors. Having run may exam preparation classes for students over several years, I’ve seen many successful cases and know just how much progress students can make with additional tuition.
With small class sizes, tutors can give a great deal of attention to each student and therefore easily assess their strengths and weaknesses. The flexibility to adapt the curriculum and teaching materials allows tutors to tailor lessons to each student’s aptitude. Not only do weak students benefit from extra assistance, more capable students can be stretched to their full potential.
Practice makes perfect, and many students need regular coaching and practice in order to consolidate what they’ve learnt and apply their knowledge accurately. But doing this through practice papers alone can have damaging effects on a child’s progress. Confidence and enthusiasm can disappear quickly if students make repeated mistakes or become overly focused on replicating model answers. At i-Learner, we make sure students are encouraged to discuss the possibilities of alternative answers and develop critical thinking skills and confidence alongside accuracy.
Our online tutoring sessions provide tailored materials based on school syllabuses, which helps students grasp difficult concepts and be aware of the tricky areas that may cause them to lose marks in exams.
