English is a big part of the school curriculum, yet many students find it difficult, and at a young age, this can majorly affect a child’s self-esteem and academic performance.
It is for this reason that English tutoring has become popular amongst children and young adults.
For every native English speaker, getting to grips with the grammar rules, tricky spelling and even handwriting are all significant hurdles that must be overcome to achieve true mastery of the language.
Have you noticed your child struggling with their English homework?
For some, understanding the complex aspects of the English language as well as practising reading and writing is just too much to do with a school teacher alone.
This is why many parents reach out to English tutors or tutoring companies to give their child the boost in confidence they need to achieve academic success.
Having that personal, one on one attention when it comes to learning can help children reach their potential quickly and efficiently.
Whether you choose English lessons from a qualified English tutor or from someone majoring in English at university, their teaching approach is very important.
Teaching private classes, especially English classes requires patience and a well-rounded teaching approach, especially for children who are struggling or have lost their confidence in the subject.
The English exercises offered can cover topics like reading comprehension, writing and spelling, including creative writing, as well as small presentations to develop public speaking.
In-home, private lessons can help students improve their confidence, study for exams with revision materials, or even act as an intensive English course to boost grades.
Private lessons can be more than just helping children with their homework, but it is important for the tutor to have a rapport with their student if they want them to progress quickly.
English help needs to be comprehensive. The private tutors on our platform offer personalised lessons based on their students’ needs.
