School Tuition

Background

Students often need a little extra assistance to get the best out of schooling and to realise their potential, or to move from the actual to the possible.

Tuition can provide

	ongoing support for students who are really struggling to master concepts and skills in certain subject areas. Ongoing support may be crucial to students’ continuing development.
	temporary support for students who are having difficulty at a certain point in time.
	regular support for students who just need that extra bit of help to be successful.
	support and focus for talented students who might have lost their way a little and who do not perform well in a classroom situation.
	extension activities for those students who want more than that which is offered in the school situation.

Who can benefit from tuition

Any student can benefit from tuition. Tuition is generally used to complement that which is done in schools.

Tuition may be carried out in small groups or individually according to need. Each session is 50 minutes in duration.

Sessions will start on the hour and will finish at 10 to the next hour. Students should arrive at least 5 minutes before scheduled starting time.

Samples of work and assessment are useful to help the tutor gauge the areas of difficulty.

A program will be established. This program may mimic the school program, it may be completely independent or it may be some sort of combination of the two approaches.

A record will be kept of all sessions, testing will be conducted regularly, and written feedback will be provided to the student’s family on a regular basis.
