Leading provider of private tutoring to UHNW families, Tutors
International, today commented that private tutors should not just
prepare students for exams, but prepare them for life - fostering
self-sufficient learners who are equipped to navigate the
complexities of the modern world with confidence and
skill.
OXFORD,
England, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- There are
some that think that private tutoring is just about spoon-feeding
information to students, making them overly dependent on outside
help. While it's true that some tutors are focused on cramming for
exams, this overlooks the broader benefits of tutoring.
But true academic success goes beyond just memorising facts and
passing exams. Even though schools around the world often use these
as benchmarks, teachers would rather use their expertise to engage
and inspire their students. When a student truly understands a
subject, remembering dates and details comes naturally. Learning
independently is a life-long skill.
A study by B.J Zimmerman in 2002 showed that when students
have more control over their own learning, they not only understand
and remember more but also build skills that are key for success in
school and throughout life.
Tutors International CEO and Founder, Adam Caller, explains how a strength-based
education helps students to become independent learners:
"Teaching a young person for whom a particular topic might
feel irrelevant is like trying to force the same poles of two
magnets together – there will be inevitable resistance and no
strong connection. It certainly won't stick. A strength-based
education, on the other hand, allows subjects and talents to
attract each other. The learner and the topic have a strong
connection, with neither repelling the other. This completely
changes the learning culture for that student. They no longer
associate learning with forced teaching from within the four walls
of a classroom. Instead, learning becomes a lifelong venture that
encourages personal growth, and moves with their minds and
aptitudes, as opposed to against them."
Cultivating independent
learners
The unique benefit of private tutoring is the ability to
create personalised educational programmes for every
child, working to their strengths. In their comment, Tutors
International show what strategies educators can use to cultivate
independent learners.
These strategies create knowledgeable self-directed learners,
students who have developed both the focus and critical thinking
skills they need to succeed in school and thrive in a world that
requires them to continue learning throughout their lives.
Even in short-term placements, a skilled tutor can help develop
a student's ability to learn independently - enhancing academic
performance and making learning a more enjoyable and self-driven
process.
