Why Hire a Tutor?
Why Hire a Tutor?
By Marcus Ong (Senior Tuition Coordinator, We Care Tuition Agency)
Tutors are hired to guide students who may have difficulties catching up in schools. In a school context, it is impossible for a teacher to dedicate full attention to any single student. A tutor may be needed to help a student at a pace suitable for the student. However, before we hire a tutor we need to understand the special needs of our children.
Tutors cannot replace hard work on the part of the student and every student should understand that the tutor will complement the teacher in the school and not to replace the teacher totally. Experienced tutors will also give your child an added advantage especially those who are familiar with the changes in the syllabus. In the Singapore context, the changes in the syllabus can make it a challenge for parents to follow closely. A good tutor can fill the gap well by designing a comprehensive revision programme which is exam orientated.
In many instances, our agency www.wecaretuition.com enhanced a child’s grade through the matching of a suitable tutor who can add value gradually. Many parents may think that schools have remedial programmes for their children to seek help from. However, remedial programmes may not be effective because of the large groups involved. The teacher cannot give individual attention and the progress may be slow. Also, such remedial programmes are scheduled after school hours and your child may be too tired even to concentrate. This is where a good tutor can come in to fill in the gap. Parents may want to take preventive measures when you realize that the grades are falling.
Perhaps, I like to use an analogy to emphasis on the role of a tutor in a child’s academic journey. In an ancient battle, the warrior has a spear and a shield to fight effectively. A teacher in school is like a child’s spear but more children has no shield to fall back. Give your child a shield today by getting him a tutor so that he can fight a good battle out there in the ever changing academic arena. In my next article, I will discuss more on how to choose the correct tutor and what services you should expect from a tuition agency.
