Home Tuition
The Role of Parents
The Role of Home tuition
Teachers working for a home tuition provider must recognize that they perform a critical role in the total personal development of any child they interact with. As private tutors, they give a supportive learning environment wherein the child's emotional intelligence, apart from his or her intellectual capacity, is gradually developed. This in turn promotes a student's self confidence and results in gaining an ability to conduct self-directed learning. To achieve this goal, home tuition providers must avoid spoon-feeding and rote memorization as a method of instruction, since these techniques only foster dependence on the part of the student. Rather, private tutors must use teaching strategies that promote and support independence and self-motivated as well as self-regulated learning.
The Role of Home Tuition Centers
Home tuition agencies have the responsibility of looking for teachers or tutors who are well qualified to handle the subjects that they offer tuition for. Not only should teachers have sufficient knowledge of the subject that they handle, but they should be able to facilitate a smooth knowledge transfer as well. In addition, it is the tuition center's responsibility to screen their teachers or tutors, making sure that they have the capability to adapt to diverse student personalities and behavior. Moreover, the center should be able to identify tutors that are particularly suited to handle particular type of students as needed. Aside from tuition, the center must also be able to offer motivational activities and group classes.
In conclusion, home tuition is an important component of a child's education and its main objective is to help the student achieve not only excellence in academics but also emotional intelligence and independence in learning. An effective home tuition is the result of mutually beneficial interactions between the child, the parents, the teachers or tutors, and the tuition center.
