In the hands of the right tutor, one-to-one tuition is effective in getting students up to speed with their classroom work and exam preparation.
For quite a number of my students, I go through the mathematical and statistical concepts from scratch, emphasizing the important ideas, formulas, as well as methods of proof and problem solving strategies.
Individualized tuition is highly effective because the student is free from the usual distractions that occur in classrooms or in large tuition groups. Teachers that conduct large classes have to teach at a fixed pace, which is sometimes too fast or too slow for the needs of each student.
Personalized tutors like myself can design the lesson according to the students’ requirements. I can use vocabulary that the student is able to comprehend. I can tailor my explanation of the concepts, formulas and proofs to the students’ level of understanding.
It is for this reason that individualized tuition has been highly effective in helping students improve their grades and develop a love for learning.
