When you reach out to a tutor, you will have a choice to make between individual tutoring and a classroom setting. Individual tutoring gives your child a one on one experience and the classroom setting might have just a few other students that learn with your child or it could be ten or more in the room. But, which is the best experience for the student?
Individual Tutoring
Most people think of individual tutoring, the one on one experience, when they think of hiring a tutor. In this situation, the tutor will come to your home and your son or daughter will sit with the tutor for an hour. The tutor will give lessons, help your child with homework and explain the lesson in a way your child can easily grasp.
In the classroom setting your child has an experience similar to school, but with a lot fewer students. There is a Senior Tutor, but also one or more Junior Tutors and/or Interns to help teach. Individual help is also part of the classroom experience. There is far more attention paid to the individual students than they receive in a public schoolroom.
Which Tutoring Style is Best
Which way is better for your child’s learning experience depends on the student. Some students are very shy and need that trust built up in a one on one setting for a while. Others enjoy the competition and comradery of a classroom setting.
When your child is evaluated by Lumen Learning Center, this is one of the suggestions that will be made. We always want your child to be comfortable and address not only the child’s learning styles, but his or her comfort in the individual tutoring or classroom setting. Give Lumen Learning Center a call today to discuss your child’s learning needs.
