Thinking about getting a tutor? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Our team is specialised in fitting our style to your needs! But you’re probably wondering why you should be getting a tutor in the first place. You’re right to ask these questions.

Getting a tutor is a serious investment that people should take the time to think about. There are great reasons to get a tutor. We’ve collected a couple for you to consider.

Here are 5 reasons to get a tutor

1. One-on-One Time

Let’s face it, class sizes are huge. They’re getting bigger and bigger each year. Not only that, but in university you start getting class sizes of over 200! That’s a lot of students! It’d be difficult for one person to even keep track of that many names! Even TAs and office hours often have to teach multiple students at a time. Plus, TAs are usually students, who may not have a teaching background.

It’s hard to get the individualized attention you may need. A tutor can be there to get to know, not only you as a student, but as a person. Having this area of comfort around your learning can really accelerate what you know, in a short amount of time.

2. It Ensures a Smooth Transition

Everyone talks about how the transition from one grade to another, or from high school to university, can be really daunting. There are new people, new subjects, and new types of learning to get used to. It’s a lot of new responsibility. New courses, new settings, new work levels, there’s a lot to take in. Especially now, with the pandemic, education has undergone a drastic shift.

There’s more to adjust to than ever. So, there has never been a more perfect time to get a tutor than right now! They’re around to offer extra support, to make things easier. Not only can they help you out with your courses, but they can give you advice about being a student and how to survive school. This brings us to our next point.

3. They Know Students

Because they have worked so closely with students, they see the places where people get stuck. Not only that, but because many tutors were once students themselves, they have the experience of what it was like learning those concepts, more fresh in their mind than the average teacher. They give you room to breath and struggle, so you’ll know it’s okay. They know it’s part of the process, teaching you that it'll be okay. This sense of shared comradery for learning, can be very empowering.

With things like university applications and deadlines for choosing majors around the corner, a tutor can also serve as a mentor, to guide people and help them get the most out of their education. It’s like having a teacher, a classmate, and a guidance counselor all in one!

4. It Takes Pressure off the Family

It’s not just the kids getting used to the new normal, it’s the parents too. Not only do they need to work from home, but they also need to take care of the household at the same time, during the exact same hours of the day. Without teachers around holding after-school hours or sessions, sometimes parents have to be the ones having to teach new concepts.

They got a lot on their plate and have just as much adjusting to do. A tutor can come in, to take over some roles, allowing the parent to put their best foot forward at work. This way, we benefit the whole family.

5. It Helps You Learn More

This may seem self-explanatory, but tutoring sessions don’t just add to your knowledge, but they help facilitate your learning, which in return, makes it easier to learn. You get smarter the more effort you put in. It can also help boost your confidence to learn more, fostering even more learning.

It’s not common that we teach you tricks and concepts that your teachers and professors skipped over from time to time. Or, we could hint at concepts yet to come, so you’ll be ahead of the curve.
