What difference can holiday tuition
make?
Students can end a year with poor results for many
reasons. In the vast majority of cases it is not that the student is
incapable of achieving better results. More often I find that it is a
range of factors which, in combination, have
contributed to the disappointing outcome.
One of the most common problems which I encounter is that
a student has one or more deficiencies in his or her
knowledge of basic mathematics, sometimes from several years ago. As a result
the student does not have a secure
foundation on which to build. Mathematics (and other dependent subjects such as
Physics) assumes that all previous
teaching has been fully understood and that the principles learned (such as
basic addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, use of algebra, etc.) can be applied with minimal effort. Students who
continue to stumble over the basics
become confused and disillusioned when confronted with more complex problems in
later years.
However, for many students it is not too late. By testing
these basic skills in a graduated series of exercises, I can
determine which areas need remedial work and then provide an individual plan for
one-to-one tuition over the holiday
period.
Success cannot be guaranteed. However, I have been able to
achieve good results with most of my students. It does
require an attitude change in some cases, and a willingness to spend time
working on the practice exercises between
tutoring sessions.
Who should make use of holiday tuition?
Any student who has achieved less than their maximum
potential can benefit greatly from extra tuition. There may be
sections of the syllabus which were not well understood, or for which the
student was absent through illness when it
was covered in class. Such deficiencies will almost certainly be a source of
trouble for the student in future years, when
subsequent study building on that knowledge is attempted.
In addition, students who have difficulty learning in a
classroom situation can benefit greatly from revising the year's
work and getting a preview of next year's.
Number of Sessions Required
There are no contracts to sign and no fixed number of sessions to commit to
in advance. You may choose to start
with one trial lesson. However, for holiday tuition, it is
recommended that two sessions per week at fixed times provide
a good balance between one-to-one sessions, individual study and practice, and
recreation/work/other commitments.
