Tutoring helps students become independent learners, providing them with the skills needed to succeed in school / college. However, tutoring is not just for doing better on school work. There are endless benefits to working with a tutor, such as improved work and study habits, increased confidence and attitude, or improved social and behavioural skills. Not to mention tutored students generally perform better on tests, attend school more regularly and have a better chance of attending and succeeding at University.
Although tutoring is usually better suited for those who are struggling in school, it does not mean you are a bad student. There is nothing wrong with needing to work with a tutor. Some students just need more help jumping those educational hurdles. And even if tutoring isn’t right for everyone, almost anyone can benefit from this effective way of learning.
