Tucson English Tutoring FAQ
If you are seeking extra help for your student in English topics, Varsity Tutors can help you find qualified Tucson English tutors. When students struggle with English, it can be hard to keep up with their peers. Studying with a private mentor means that your student can ask as many questions as necessary to understand the topics they are studying. We can help you find your student a tutor who has the skills needed to build their confidence and knowledge in English.
How does Tucson English tutoring differ from classroom learning?
When working with Tucson English tutors, students get the undivided attention of a qualified expert. In a traditional classroom setting, you have a teacher who is obligated to follow a set syllabus while trying to meet the needs of an entire class full of students who depend on him/her to guide them. Sadly, this doesn't allow for a lot of time to help each student with questions. It also means that the teacher is not able to modify their teaching methods to meet every student's learning style. This can make it hard for students who are struggling in English to get the necessary help they need to keep up with their peers.
But, Tucson English tutors can focus on the issues your student is finding to be the most difficult. They can work with a mentor who can and will change their teaching methods to suit their preferred learning style. For example, if your student is an auditory learner, the tutor may use short lectures and Q&A's to help them pick up on verb tenses. However, if you are a visual learner who is struggling with citing sources properly, your instructor can create a PowerPoint presentation of proper citations to help you visualize the information. A tutor can try several teaching techniques until they find the one that works the best for you or your student.
Tucson English tutoring also allows you to skip over the concepts that you already know in order to address the topics you are still struggling to learn. This makes each session more efficient and focused on the areas of each student's opportunity. Learning new material is already difficult, why not have someone in your corner to help you or your student focus their efforts where it matters the most?
What are some advantages of having my student study with Tucson English tutors near me?
Tutors can assess your student's English skills and then create lesson plans that are facilitated to meet your learning needs. These personalized lesson plans are flexible, so if your student quickly progresses in identifying pronouns, the tutor can move on to transitive and intransitive verbs.
When your student studies with Tucson English tutors, the private mentor can get to know them on a more personal level. Customized lesson plans and the right teaching methods that work for your student are just a part of what working with a tutor offers. Working alongside dedicated, qualified professionals can impact your student's English skills as well as their attitude towards school in general.
Your student can build a trusting student-teacher relationship with their tutor while studying English with them. This relationship can help your student learn to look at English topics in a totally different manner. When your student is up against confusing English concepts in the classroom, they do not always get the chance to have things explained thoroughly. Also, there are numerous reasons why your student may feel uncomfortable admitting they are struggling. With individual Tucson English tutoring sessions, your student can feel comfortable opening up about their problems with English, whether they are challenged by proper grammar rules or learning prefixes and suffixes.
Tucson English tutoring allows your student to receive immediate feedback. Because English is a cumulative subject, it is vital for students to understand the topics that are currently being taught so that they may progress successfully in the future. If your student falls behind, they may quickly feel like it is impossible to catch up. When your student works with an experienced, empathetic instructor who can answer their questions right away and correct any mistakes at the moment, they can learn the material they need to develop their English skills in the future.
As a parent, you can benefit too. As you may already know, it can be a challenge to help your student with their nightly homework if you have been out of school for too long. Having a private tutor to help your student navigate their homework assignments can take some pressure off of you. Getting help from a tutor may also help you learn easy ways to help your student with their English studies, including providing them with index cards and colored markers to create vocabulary flashcards.
How can I work Tucson English tutoring into my student's busy schedule?
There are so many benefits to working with a private English instructor, you might be afraid that you won't be able to fit sessions into your family's already busy schedule. However, Varsity Tutors has created a convenient solution. We can help you find an instructor to work with either in person or online who has the same time availability as your student so that they can get the help they need and deserve.
Online sessions give you even more convenience. The Live Learning Platform lets your student connect with a tutor from any location with a stable internet connection. There are a lot of additional features that can enhance your student's learning process. These features include a shared document editor, digital whiteboard, and video chat.
With video chat, your student can meet with their Tucson English tutors to get explanations of any English topics that are difficult for them and discuss their ideas with the instructor. The shared document editor and digital whiteboard are great tools for your student to use to see English grammar examples come to life or share drafts of their papers for review. If your student has any problems, it is easy for the tutor to see where they slipped up and help your student understand what to do instead in the future. This feedback in the moment is essential during the learning process.
The Live Learning Platform allows your student to meet with their Tucson English tutors face-to-face for tutoring sessions that are just as effective as in-person sessions without the long commute. All that is necessary to begin Tucson English tutoring is a compatible device such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone and a stable internet connection. With those two things, they can log onto the Live Learning Platform and attend sessions from any place. Whether your student enjoys working from home, or they choose to log on to the platform from the Pima County Public Library, private tutoring has never been more comfortable.
