Could an Online Tutor Change Your Child’s Life?

No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship.

Dr. James Comer

The average child will have more than 30 different teachers throughout their time in school. Having a positive attitude towards school, learning and teachers means your child can form excellent relationships with each one of them. This leads to a deeper enjoyment of lessons and therefore more learning and progress.

However, for most children, having a great relationship with every teacher simply isn’t realistic. But, having a great relationship with just one consistent person who is invested in your child’s education can have a massive impact. It can transform their attitude towards learning and catapult them towards achieving massive academic success.

The relationship between a private tutor and a child should not just be about making progress in a particular subject. It is an opportunity to create the perfect platform for your child, an academic mentor that uses specialist knowledge and experience to help your child succeed in school. An online tutor could be the difference between your child getting good school results or your child having massive academic success with a strong sense of direction in life. Below are some ways that taking on an online tutor can help to change your child’s life.

Boosting confidence

Online tutors aren’t just for struggling students, but also for students who need help reaching their full potential. Many people have talents that they don’t discover until someone else identifies it in them and helps them to nurture it. Having this dynamic with a tutor who specialises in education or teaching children could really help your child build their confidence. This type of investment provides huge returns in all aspects of your child’s life.

Consistency and accountability

Most online tutors will have a meeting with their students at least once a week. During this meeting, homework and targets will be discussed. This provides consistency that can help your child prioritise their study and learning, knowing that there is someone else who is counting on them to focus on their school work and learning. This dynamic of maintaining consistency and holding themselves accountable over a long period of time builds a mindset within your child that will last them beyond their education and throughout their life.

Identifying learning needs

An educational professional that is focused solely on your child might be able to identify specific learning needs and required intervention much sooner. Someone who knows exactly how your child learns best will be able to not only teach them subject content, but will teach them how to master their learning style, essentially making them better learners.

Set goals and celebrate milestones

Your child can only ever achieve the highest goal they set for themselves. Having an online private tutor is the perfect opportunity for your child to set frequent and ambitious targets, celebrate those targets and move on to bigger and better ones. This will ensure they are constantly achieving their best and pushing themselves beyond their comfort zone.

Opportunity to Reflect

Reflecting on one’s own learning and progress isn’t something children are very good at. However, this practise goes a long way to help your child identify what isn’t working for them. Your online tutor will be able to have regular conversations to help your child reflect on their learning, their subjects, strengths and weaknesses - pushing them towards what works and encouraging them to grow out of what isn’t working, making them more efficient learners.
