Reasons of hiring private tutors for primary school students

The education system has evolved to adapt to the term “21st century competencies”, which is basically an ambitious attempt to stay ahead of the curve. It has become a survival-of-the-fittest ‘contest’ and in order to survive, what is being taught in schools is unfortunately insufficient. Students, even at the primary school level are looking towards the option of tuition, be it home tutoring, because many students have reaped the benefits of opting for tuition.

The education system has evolved to become so much more challenging on many levels and children don’t seem to have the capacity to understand concepts which is being taught 2 years in advance. The reason why they need home tuition (上門 補習) is dire for primary school students is because children cannot study blindly and build a weak foundation. Primary school education is the basis to everything else that is being learnt thereafter in secondary school and in tertiary education.
Hence, it is crucial to hire the right tutor on time and set things right from the start instead of letting things snowball over time.

#1: PERSONALISED TEACHING

Teachers in schools are always in a hurry to finish their syllabus within a pre-determined deadline, and some lull their students to sleep with their boring teaching techniques. Though this is not how it is in totality, this is the situation in most cases.
Having known this reality, tuition teachers ensure that they keep their lessons engaging and most importantly, they try their best to mould their teaching techniques and teach in a personalised manner. Tuition teachers understand that different students have different ways of thinking and different level of learning capabilities and capacity. Tuition teachers will make the necessary effort to get into the headspace of their students and they will analyse the strengths and weaknesses to teach accordingly.

#2: GUIDANCE

Tutors practice patience (well, most of them) and thus they are pretty equipped to deal with all kinds of children because they know that children will change for the better with time. Primary school children are naive and vulnerable, so tutors will take extra care in handling their young students to get pass their insecurities and deal with their challenges with confidence.

#3: MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION

Tutors never lose faith in their students they are always encourage their student to continue working hard consistently and to never lose confidence in themselves. Some school tutors may have a pessimistic outlook on under-performing students and they may not make the necessary arrangements or give proper attention to these students who are already helpless and insecure. To make things worse, peers’ criticisms or comments and parents’ disappointments may cause children to become emotionally mangled; and their educational journey will become an unenjoyable one.

Tuition teachers give their students the confidence to believe in the possibility of improving and excelling. It takes lots of time for effort to manifest itself in the form of good results and tutors emphasize this over and over again when they advise their students.

BOTTOM LINE

Teaching is a noble profession because it’s almost selfless dedication because they are always willing to answer questions at any time of the day and they go above and beyond to understand a student and redesign their teaching style or break conventional teaching rules to bring the best out of the student.  A tutor's dedication and selflessness will inspire you to be a compassionate individual and the journey of being tutored by a private tutor (私人 上門 補習) will do so much more than just helping you achieve you’re ‘A’ grade in academics.
