Why choose tutoring for your child?
As a parent, decide whether your child needs tutoring? A question that you can answer yourself after reading this article. You may notice that your child is not doing well in school, and you have been eyeing it for a while, or you are already considering taking tutoring, but why not do it?
After all, tutoring is certainly not just for children who are about to fail a class, it is a godsend for any child with learning disabilities, problems with study skills, or in general for children who want to work on improving their grades, knowledge and self-confidence. To help you make the right choice, we've listed a few reasons why tutoring can be an excellent choice for your child.

Effectiveness
Research shows that taking tutoring is indeed effective. Tutored kids get higher grades than their classmates before. This is because during the tutoring they learn more material and get an overarching picture of the content.
The material is discussed in more detail, with extra exercises, tips and tricks and it is possible to look closely at what your child really needs. At school, explanations are given in a general way and there is not always room to continue on a particular subject. A child also likes to feel that he/she is understood and not stupid.
Personal attention
The fact that your child is not doing well at school may be due to the fact that the school system does not work for your child in all areas, the material is then not discussed in depth enough and there is little room for questions or for letting the information sink in. Due to the online lessons of the past year, your child may also be behind.
A tutor can offer tailor-made work for each child and see where the weak spots are, so a plan is made effectively, and children can pick up a certain subject at their own pace and in their own way. There is also space and time for your child to ask his/her questions, without feeling burdened by wasting time with other classmates.
More motivation
Personal guidance encourages a child to do homework or learn the material for a test with their full concentration and motivation. Research has also shown that a child feels motivated to do his/her job well when they work 1-on-1 with someone.
In addition, it is also timesaving in the long run, because although the tutoring will require more time from your child in the beginning and hard work, they will be rewarded with more free time after a while. During the tutoring sessions, your child has learned to use his time efficiently and there is no longer any reason to keep your child indoors to finish homework.
You do not want to be held back
If things are not going well for your child at school, you as a parent have probably already asked yourself the question, isn't it better to stay put? Then you can try again next year. However, this may sound logical, but it actually has a negative effect on your child. By staying put, in most cases you will not solve the problem in the long term, but only in the short term.
The material will be repeated and as a result, your child usually gets higher grades than the year before, only the way of learning is still the same, just like his study skills and the basic knowledge. For example, it can often be because a child finds it difficult to learn in a concentrated way, or to find a good way to understand the material in an effective way. By getting started with personal guidance, this problem can be tackled, and your child will benefit from it in the long term.
