The past year has been disrupted and unusual for the world of education to say the least, with school closures becoming commonplace and the living room becoming the classroom for children across the country. Whilst teachers and parents have made the home schooling set-up as academically enriching and fulfilling as a normal school experience would be, it is no secret that many people have struggled with this unprecedented change.
As a result some children may be falling behind the usual standards of learning. Tutoring has therefore become more important than ever before to help children keep up with their education.

Why Take Tutoring Lessons?
Tutoring can be the perfect solution for enhancing the education of many children as there are so many advantages to hiring a private tutor. Some of the incredible benefits that a tutor can provide over a classroom teacher are that tutors are able to:
- Give your child individual attention to figure out what areas of their learning need supporting.
- Spend as much time as necessary on certain concepts and problems until your child has a full understanding and grasp on the matter.
- Help your child become more confident in the classroom.
- Enrich your child’s learning by teaching them material outside or beyond the constraints of a curriculum.
- Support your child in stressful academic periods such as in the lead up to exams or assessments.
- Allow you child the opportunity to learn about topics they are interested in outside of a formal, school environment.
There are clearly so many benefits to taking tutoring lessons but it is also important to ensure your child can get the most out of their tutoring lessons, so make sure you communicate clearly with the tutor what you are hoping to gain from the sessions.

Online vs In Person Tutoring
Once you’ve decided which subject you require tutoring in, the next step is to check out the types of tutoring available, either in person lessons or online classes! Whilst at the moment due to Covid-19 restrictions, online lessons may be the only or the most practical solution, in the future it is hoped that one to one classes will resume. As there are many advantages to both, so it is definitely worth doing your research to decide which option is right for you.
Average cost of tutoring
The cost of tutoring varies greatly and has the biggest variation of all our services for a few reasons. Firstly the type of tutoring can cause price changes, as online tutoring is often cheaper than in person tutoring due to the tutor perhaps saving travel costs and time. Secondly the qualification levels and experience of the tutor will greatly impact how much their services cost, as some of our tutors are highly skilled teachers with degrees and many years of experience, meaning that they can charge more per hour than our younger student tutors. Finally the age and level of the child being tutored may affect the cost of the tutoring lessons, as younger children may not require as much attention and support as older children taking examinations for example.
