With a private tutor your child will get individual, targeted help. The tutor will assess your child to find out what their strengths and weaknesses are, and then focus solely on those areas where your child needs help. Everyone learns in a different way, and a private tutor will also take this into account, ensuring that learning is an enjoyable experience for your child. Because the tuition happens on a one-to-one basis, any mistakes or misconceptions can be picked up on and addressed immediately, before the child has chance to embed wrong thinking or methods.

Well said. A good relationship with a tutor can also show a child a new way to relate to teachers – being prepared to ask questions, explain what you want, and REALLY be heard by someone who is in a teaching role, can give a child the courage they need to talk, properly, and constructively, with their class teachers.
Exactly. I find that increased confidence is the first thing to happen, which leads to better participation in class, which leads to even more improvement.
