There are many ways in which private home tuition can help your child. Free from the confines of the classroom, home-based tuition can offer a more relaxed and encouraging learning environment.

Tuition can help you or your child with all educational needs; help with classwork, homework, exam preparation and technique, revision techniques, study skills , boosting confidence/self-belief and more.

More can be accomplished working one-to-one; generally, 2-3 hours’ home tuition is equivalent to a full day at school. Measurable improvement can only help build pupils’ confidence and self-esteem and maximise their enjoyment of a subject.

Choosing a tutor

You will find tutors advertising locally or on tutor directory websites. We strongly advise you to ensure that any tutor you employ is appropriately qualified.

Interview. You should interview all potential tutors yourself. Ask to see proof of qualifications and explain any career gaps.
Criminal record check. Any good tutor should have a criminal record check available for you to look at.
Observe. Look at the interaction between the tutor and your child. Do you think they will be able to communicate effectively?

Tuition can help improve grades and has the potential to bring long-term rewards - better grades could lead to improved employment prospects. Finding a good tutor could be a real benefit for your child.
