Benefits of Home Tutor and Home Tuition



Home Tutor

A home tutor is a teacher that provides you personal classes at the comfort of your home at your given time period. Home Tutors charge higher prices in home tuitions than the classes which conducted at tuition centres, as they provide individual attention to student. The number of students is usually less in-home tuitions, and the classes are even exclusive.

Home tutors are usually hired to impart an education that has already been taught in schools but needs extra work and attention so that all the doubts and confusions of students can be clear. The methods and ways of teaching of home tutors can differ from regular teachers, but individual attention is a major benefit of home tutoring.

Usually, home tutors are hired for a particular subject or a test preparation, but they can also be hired for an entire academic year. But now-a-days home tutors are hired for most of the children for an entire academic year. It is a form of private teaching but does not come under-recognized education. It is only to aid proper schooling and education to a student at home.


Why home tutors ?

Every parents think that why should they hire a personal home tutor for their child which costs more than coaching centres. A lot of parents believe that hiring a private tutor may render their child’s active learning skills weaker in the longer run.

If you are a parent who is still deciding on whether or not you should hire a private tutor for your child, here are some reasons to hire a private tutor for your child.


1. A personalized learning experience for your child

Every child’s learning needs are different and so are their grasping skills and retention. A private tutor doesn’t shell out a pre-set timetable but instead curates one along with your child. Your child is no longer an instruction and notes taker (unlike at school), with a private tutor, your child co-creates their learning experience and feels much more involved in the process.


2. More attention to improving the basics

Evidently, most students who struggle in their advanced schoolwork are students who merely did not fully grasp the basics in earlier years. Hiring a private tutor ensures that your child will not be one of those students.

By having a good tutor help your child master the basics of difficult subjects, your child will have an easier time following along in class. In the long run, your child will be able to understand more advanced material because their basics are strong. And as an added bonus, their grades will improve with time.


3. Efficient learning

Every child has a unique learning style. Some children are visual learners while others are auditory learners or hands-on learners. Nowadays, in larger classrooms, teachers try to create lessons that cover all learning types to make sure that no child is left behind. However, a one size fits all approach may not work for all students.

Learning in a manner that is not your learning type leads to difficulty in comprehending study materials. Finding a private tutor who has experience working with children with the same learning type as your child can make learning more effective.


4. A private tutor brings in the discipline

Hiring a private tutor is one sure shot way to instil a sense of discipline and routine in your child. Irregular learning can lead to erratic periods of extreme interest and boredom which leads a child nowhere in the longer run.

With a private tutor, your child will get into a habit of spending ‘X minutes every day or every two days on a subject without fail. This not only usually spurs more interest and confidence in the subject but also makes children disciplines about other walks of life. For example, health and fitness routine is usually seen in children who are disciplined in general.


5. Your child will develop a passion for learning

Unfortunately, when children start to struggle with a subject at school, they begin to think that they are not intelligent or that learning is not for them. Their confidence in their ability to learn, work hard, and achieve their academic (and other) goals starts to lower. As children can be defensive, they may not want to ask for help and may merely resign themselves to their imagined fate.

It is important, as parents, to prevent this from happening to your child. Before your child becomes too disheartened at the idea of school and learning, reinforce positive aspects of learning by hiring a private tutor. Seeing themselves improve and achieve their academic goals will help them love learning and increase their self-confidence. It will show them that hard work and perseverance as well as asking for additional help when they need it can ensure their success. These life lessons will stay with them for years to come.


6. Your Child Can Be Honest about his/her weaknesses

Some children are too shy to ask questions in class. Although they may need clarification, they might be apprehensive to ask their teacher about their doubts in front of their peers. As we were all and/or are students at one point, we know how nerve-wracking asking what could be a “dumb” question in class. No question is a “dumb” question but students often have a hard time believing that.

If you hire a private tutor, your child can be honest about where they are struggling and would like more attention. Moreover, a private tutor can help your child feel comfortable around a difficult subject and boost your child’s self-esteem.


7. Increased aptitude for other co-curricular activities

Having a private tutor also helps in making your child an all-rounder.

§ With a specialized private tutor’s help, a child can even explore professional training in areas like music , art and sports or in which a child is interested.

§ A private tutor brings in a system of studying or learning as an art, it largely helps with utilizing time better. If your child spent many hours struggling on their own with an English essay, now with daily practice they can devote just 90 or 60 minutes daily and use the rest of the time to pursue other passions.
