Almost a year ago our lives changed and overnight parents suddenly became teachers alongside a whole host of other roles.
Whilst schools have aided learning as best they can, the onus has been on parents to encourage, motivate and in some cases teach their children. All whilst juggling work and normal daily chores, it’s easy to understand why thoughts may have drifted to hiring a private tutor!
Online Learning Resources
Sites such as BBC Bitesize and Oak Academy have been handy online learning resources throughout the pandemic. From offering step by step learning guides in a range of subjects, even celebrities stepped in to offer educational videos. Did you watch Danny Dyer’s video about Henry VIII? It is well worth a watch!
Whilst online learning has helped, one to one learning with an online tutor is very beneficial.
Hiring A Private Tutor For Homeschooling
There is no denying that children have suffered majorly as a consequence of life coming to a halt due to the pandemic. If your child required assistance in a particular subject, then tutors are there to help.
Online service such as Tutorful have a vast range of tutors ready to help, covering a wide range of subjects, levels and cost per hour.
One to One Learning
The one to one aspect is invaluable as children have the ability to learn at their speed and ask questions that will be answered. No having to hold their hand up and wait! All the tutor’s undivided attention and focus is on the child meaning that good progress can be achieved faster.
Flexibilty
Time slots can be booked at your convenience (and that of the tutor), so a rigid timetable does not necessarily have to be followed. This will also help your child feel more relaxed when taking part in tutor lessons.
A happy child will be more willing to learn and absorb the information, so the flexibility work around is a great help!
Build Your Child’s Confidence
Using an online tutor can boost your child’s confidence tremendously. Your child and tutor will form a bond, with the tutor understanding your child’s learning style and adapting lessons accordingly. Whether that be through the use of games, rhymes or other techniques.
Not having to be heard over a full class will help your child feel confident about asking subject related questions without peer pressure. The tutor is there to work at your child’s speed. Helping them to fully understand the subject and feel proficient in it.
Children will bounce back after the pandemic, we all will. Life may not resume back to the normality we once knew, we just have to keep chipping away to find a happy medium.
