๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ The digital revolution enables tutors to teach pupils at their homes, through the power of the internet. Inevitably, the provision of online tuition has encouraged many tutors to advertise their services. However, not all tutors are equal.
๐๐๐ญ๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ Parents should focus on identifying tutors who have experience in the appropriate educational system. At Minerva, our tutors have experience of the U.K. educational system, often having taught GCSE, A Level, and International Baccalaureate for two decades or more.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ Before choosing a tutor parents should investigate the qualifications and experience of the potential tutor. Asking to see a teacherโs curriculum vitae will show whether they have the relevant experience to meet your requirements for your child. Asking for a trial lesson may help parents assess whether the tutor matches the needs of the pupil.
๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐ง๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ In an unregulated industry, there are many unqualified teachers who are advertising their services. Undergraduates, sometimes yet to complete the first year of their degree, offer their services as a teacher. Although the student may be highly academic and successful in their own field, that student will not have acquired the range of teaching strategies required to help a child struggling to grasp a concept. Nor, at the examination level, will they have experience of matching teaching to the requirements of a particular syllabus. Some online tuition agencies compete on price offering the services of young graduates, who have completed their degrees but have yet to gain either a teaching qualification or teaching experience.
