Varsity Tutors can connect you with knowledgeable A Level tutors if your student could use an academic boost. A Levels are the standard assessments used in the UK college application process, making them comparable to high school diplomas in the United States. Working with a private instructor affords your student the opportunity to study at their own pace, whether you choose online study sessions or in-person meetings. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits professional A Level tutoring can provide.
Students often study A Level courses with the intention of pursuing similar material at the college level, so developing a strong foundation now can help your student pursue their goals later. While classroom teachers are tied to a set curriculum in a limited time frame, private instructors can provide further explanation and examples until their pupils are ready to move on.
For example, a classroom instructor has to grade an entire class's work before providing feedback on your student's performance. In contrast, a private instructor can provide feedback promptly, allowing your student to make any necessary corrections while the material is still fresh in their mind.
Likewise, a private instructor can handle any questions immediately, while a classroom teacher needs to think of the needs of the entire class. In fact, many students find it easier to ask an academic mentor they trust for assistance than a classroom teacher they may not be as comfortable around.
A private instructor can also design study sessions around your student's preferred learning style to optimize their study efficiency. For example, a visual learner can review graphical representations of scientific concepts or historical events to make them easier to picture. An auditory student might get more out of lecture-based sessions with vocal emphasis on key concepts. There is no universal way of learning and working with a private instructor allows the student in your life to approach it however they want to.
Attending private study sessions can also be a great way for your student to improve their broader study skills. If your student is having a hard time with mathematical equations, their instructor can provide practice problems to help identify and correct the underlying learning obstacle. Alternatively, your student can practice active reading techniques to help them follow the action in a novel or play more effectively.
Many students also choose to work on their test-taking skills with a private instructor. A professional educator can help your student identify keywords such as "not" and "except" in a question, ensuring that they understand what an item is asking of them. They can also learn how to leverage an exam against itself by eliminating incorrect answers on a multiple-choice test.
We also try to make attending private study sessions as easy as possible. If you choose online study sessions, your student will meet their instructor on our proprietary Live Learning Platform. Our Live Learning Platform is a digital classroom with cool features such as a virtual whiteboard and video chat to provide a face-to-face study experience anywhere with a stable internet connection. If you're looking for a more traditional learning environment, your student can meet their academic in-person in your house, at a local library, or anywhere else that makes sense for you.
