Tutoring can be incredibly helpful, IF the tutor is good. Some students are perfectly
capable intellectually, but slower than others to pick up on things. A classroom has to
move along at a certain pace. Teachers don’t have the option of slowing down to explain
things at length. That’s a bad environment for people who just need time to think about
material, before they “get it.”
A tutor will pay attention to that student, and thus will see things a classroom
teacher won’t.
It often happens that students develop a friendly relationship with their tutors. In this
case, it is a benefit for the students because they are not afraid to ask anything or admit
that they do not know what to do. Students can also be more relaxed during tutoring and in
the comfort of their own homes than in a formal classroom environment. Tutoring may not
be effective if the student is unwilling to learn. And he/she goes to classes because of
his/her parents' wishes. In this case, the student will not listen to the topic, but will only
think when it is time to go home. If there is a desire to understand the subject, then tutoring
will help in this.
