Private Tutoring – A Necessary Supplement to a Fairfield Student’s Education?

For many Fairfield students, the classroom setting feels incompatible with their learning styles. Unfortunately, due to classroom sizes and lack of resources, teachers can only provide limited attention to struggling students. Without the necessary time and resources, teachers easily overlook the issues afflicting their classrooms.  Private tutoring addresses these issues, attuning your child towards academic success, and providing the benefits he or she will not receive in the classroom.

What are the issues my child faces, and what can private tutoring provide?

One of the greatest and most apparent challenges of the classroom setting is the minimal attention to individuals. In order to master a subject, your child may need assistance that he or she cannot receive in a class with twenty students or more.  Private tutoring allows students a one-on-one experience with a highly skilled tutor. Through skill development and acquisition of truly effective study habits, your child can master the tools necessary for academic success.

Aside from the size of the classroom, the style of teaching can pose a challenge for students. Many students struggle because they do not find meaning or significance in their education.  Such a lack of intrinsic motivation to perform school work coupled with an ineffective classroom setting directs students away from successful academic performance. At the Learning Consultants, we advance Fairfield students through methods that extend beyond studying and coursework. Our tutors build rapport with their students, allowing the tutor’s guidance to carry more influence than that of a traditional educator.  This helps the student to discover personal and authentic meaning in their academics.

Equally important to fostering a student’s view of education is the tutor’s ability to guide the student to academic success. The Learning Consultants defines success as a student achieving admirable marks on test and grades, with high lesson retention, so the student may enter a desired university. Test mastery is critical for academic success both in high school and college. Nationwide, schools are failing to teach students effective test mastery skills. Nevertheless, high school grades are comprised primarily from test marks, and college admission officers scrutinize standardized test scores. This system poses grave problems for students struggling with tests. Our tutors enjoy working with students who need guidance in this area. By demonstrating methods of reading and analyzing test questions, we help students learn the maximally effective test performance strategies. Additionally, we offer SAT and ACT preparatory courses. These courses compartmentalize the math, writing, and reading sections of each test, teaching students techniques specific to each and every problem type.

Private tutoring will only help your child. Through these one-on-one sessions, our tutors learn effective ways of communicating with a student that cannot be achieved in a classroom. Using this rapport, the tutor grows the student’s excitement for academic success and assists the student in achieving this goal. For many, tutoring becomes the bridge from achieving an A instead of a B.
