The Benefits of 1-1 Tutoring

While traditional classroom teaching has its merits, 1-1 tutoring has emerged as a powerful tool for students at both the primary and secondary school levels. Here we explore some of the benefits.

 

Personalised Learning

One of the most significant benefits of 1-1 tutoring is the personalised attention that students receive. In a classroom with many students, it can be challenging for teachers to cater to each student’s unique learning needs. However, in a 1-1 tutoring setting, the tutor can tailor the lessons to match the student’s individual learning style and pace. 

At Aster Tuition, our rigorous initial assessment enables us to tailor out 1-1 sessions for each student, with the tutor focusing on engaging content and providing personalised support. This approach can help students grasp concepts more effectively and build confidence in their abilities.

 

Improved Academic Performance

Research has consistently shown that students who receive 1-1 tutoring tend to perform better academically. The focused attention and personalised instruction provided by tutors enable students to fill gaps in their knowledge, strengthen their weak areas, and excel in subjects where they may have previously struggled. This boost in academic performance can lead to improved grades and a deeper understanding of the material. Indeed, last academic year, out of the 15 Aster Tuition students who sat for exams, 10 students achieved at least a 3-grade improvement between their mock exams and final assessments, showcasing remarkable progress. 

 

Increased Confidence

Many students experience a lack of confidence when faced with challenging subjects or topics they find difficult. 1-1 tutoring can help students overcome this hurdle by providing a safe and supportive environment in which they can ask questions without fear of judgement. As students begin to understand concepts and make progress, their confidence grows, motivating them to take on more challenging tasks and become independent learners.

 

Individualised Feedback

At Aster Tuition, bespoke reporting and feedback is a key component of what we do, as we know that regular feedback is essential for students to gauge their progress and identify areas that require improvement. In a 1-1 tutoring setting, students receive immediate and constructive feedback from their tutors after each session. This feedback helps them understand their strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to focus their efforts on areas that need improvement and build on their strengths.

 

Enhanced Study Skills

In addition to subject-specific knowledge, our tutors teach valuable study skills and techniques that can benefit students throughout their academic journey. These skills include time management, organisation, effective note-taking, and problem-solving. Developing these skills early on can have a lasting positive impact on a student’s ability to succeed in school and beyond.
