Is Your Teen Making the Most of Their Tuition Sessions?

One-on-one and small group tuition provide a valuable opportunity for your teen to receive personalised learning outside the busy classroom environment. It’s important to make the most of this personalised setting. Rather than relying on the tutor for assistance on completing homework and other assignments, encourage your teen to use these sessions to get focused support on areas where they need extra support. Tackling their homework and assignments beforehand can help them identify the specific questions or problems they are struggling with so they can bring them up during the sessions.

 
Here are four strategies your teen can employ to make the most of their tuition sessions:
 

1. Preparation is Key

Encourage your teen to review their homework, assignments, or class notes before the tuition session. This will help them pinpoint areas where they need additional support.

2. Set Clear Goals

Help your teen set specific goals for each session. Whether it’s understanding a particular concept, improving on a skill, or preparing for an upcoming exam, having a clear objective will keep the session focused.

3. Communicate with the Tutor

Encourage your teen to communicate openly with their tutor about their learning goals and the areas they’re struggling with. This will help the tutor tailor the session to meet your teen’s specific needs.

4. Practice, Practice, Practice

After the session, encourage your teen to practice what they’ve learned. This could be through additional exercises, quizzes, or even teaching the concept to someone else.

By taking a proactive and targeted approach to their tuition sessions, your teen can maximise their learning potential and make the most of this valuable resource. Becoming an active participant in their education will have them well on their way to academic success!
