Schools and the Government are always looking at ways to improve the quality of education and enhance access to learning for children of all ages.\u00a0 From September 2023 new rules will come into effect which mean all schools must offer a 32.5-hour week for students.\u00a0 Though many schools were already doing this, those who were not are said to have been causing students to lose up to 2 weeks of learning per academic year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whilst life has, for the largest part, reverted to how it was before Covid-19, the reality is that the aftereffects of the pandemic can still be felt in education.\u00a0 Lessons are unlikely to face disruption these days, but the months of lockdowns, online learning and bubble closures have meant there is a general feeling of many year groups being slightly behind where they should be.\u00a0 This means the pressure is on for students and teachers alike to make up lost ground.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways to do this is by enlisting the expert help of a private tutor<\/a> who can work with your child to identify their educational goals and support them when needed.<\/p>\n

\"Tutor<\/p>\n

Signs your child could benefit from a tutor<\/h3>\n

One of the most obvious signs that your child may benefit from having some one-to-one educational support is that they are struggling with a particular subject, or having a hard time grasping some of the concepts required.\u00a0 As a result of these difficulties, the subject is likely to become one of their least favourite on the timetable, which in turn makes it harder for them to pick topics up.<\/p>\n

It may be a case that they are not enjoying Chemistry, and lack of understanding with the foundation concepts is hampering their ability to move forward with the subject.\u00a0 Working with professional Chemistry Tutors<\/a> outside of school can help them take the time to really understand things they\u2019ve failed to grasp in class, as well as increasing their confidence. In turn, this will provide them with the opportunity to move their learning forward within the classroom.<\/p>\n

It’s worth discussing how your child feels about working with a tutor<\/a> so they feel part of the process.\u00a0 If they are invested in the outcomes of their GCSE exams, then they are likely to welcome any additional support that is offered to them. However, some students can be reluctant to do more work on a subject they are not enjoying. Discussing your concerns, and the benefits a tutor can offer them is likely to encourage them to get on board and engage positively with any tutor you do arrange to work with.<\/p>\n

\"Parent<\/p>\n

Where to find tutors<\/h3>\n

When it comes to finding a private tutor for your child, there are lots of options available to you.<\/p>\n

The first thing you ought to consider is whether you want a face-to-face tutor, or if you would be happy for your child to access support online and work with an online tutor<\/a>. An online maths tutor<\/a> for instance, can really help a child to understand areas of maths that they may have previously found challenging. For sciences, online biology tutors<\/a>, online chemistry tutors<\/a> and online physics tutors<\/a> can also help students to become very confident with all of the 3 separate sciences as well as with GCSE Combined Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not having to travel to a teacher means you are not limited to finding someone within a specific geographical area.\u00a0 Your ideal tutor may be based in Brighton, whilst you\u2019re in Manchester \u2013 online, that doesn\u2019t pose a problem for either of you.\u00a0 It also greatly reduces the time lost through travelling to tutoring sessions (not to mention the associated cost of fuel, these days).<\/p>\n

Once you know which sort of working relationship you want with a tutor, it\u2019s a simple case of looking for one.\u00a0 You can start by speaking to the teachers at your child\u2019s school who may be able to offer private tutoring<\/a> outside of the school environment.\u00a0 However, your child may feel more comfortable receiving additional support from someone unrelated to their actual school.\u00a0 This will give them the confidence to ask questions about topics that they have perhaps not fully understood in the classroom, without the teaching becoming frustrated that this ground has already been covered.<\/p>\n

Equally, it\u2019s worth asking if anyone in your child\u2019s class already uses a tutor, and see if there are any recommendations, they are able to offer.\u00a0 Alternatively, the quickest way to find a tutor is to do a search online.<\/p>\n

\"Tuition<\/p>\n

What to look for in a tutor<\/h3>\n

Whilst it\u2019s true that everyone learns differently, the same can be said of teachers.\u00a0 Different people have different teaching styles based on their own subject and the level of experience they have.\u00a0 It\u2019s therefore important to find a tutor that can work well with your child.<\/p>\n

When you start talking to a tutor about the possibility of working with your child you should find they have as many questions for you as you do for them.\u00a0 A good tutor is going to want to know how your child learns, what they\u2019re struggling with, what works for them and ultimately what they\u2019re hoping to gain from tutoring<\/a>.\u00a0 It may be a case that you simply want to increase their confidence, or perhaps you want them to receive support in preparedness for taking their GCSEs next year, in which case, some GCSE tuition<\/a> could be very beneficial.<\/p>\n

As Science and Maths are core subjects, working with subject specific teachers, such as GCSE Biology Tutors<\/a>, GCSE Physics Tutors<\/a>, online GCSE Maths tutors<\/a> and online chemistry tutors<\/a> will help ensure you get access to the right skills at the right time for your child and help them to be confident when they sit their GCSE science and maths exams. They can help your child not only understand concepts, assist with homework assignments, provide advice on revision, and talk them through how to answer questions but also work through their exam anxiety and nerves.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for A Level Tutors<\/a> or GCSE Tutors<\/a>, here at Tutorspot<\/strong> we have a wide range of experts on hand to provide your child with support. Our tutors range from experts in their field with years of industry experience, current teachers, retired teachers or University students happy to share their knowledge and experience of the exam process.\u00a0 We have something for every student.\u00a0 Use our handy search tool<\/a> today to find the right tutor for you.<\/p>\n
