Face-to-Face Tuition
We understand that parents and students have various preferences when it comes to choosing the mode of tuition and that for some students, in person tuition is the preferred option for a number of reasons, which is why we offer traditional face to face tuition across Cardiff and Newport. This is of course dependent on your exact location and distance from the right tutor, and naturally, face-to-face tuition incurs higher costs compared to online alternatives.
All our tuition services include:
-
A 1 hour live session with the child.
-
Use of our systems to access lessons, recordings and resources where applicable.
-
All additional time before and after the sessions spent planning, preparation of personalised session content/resources and homework material.
-
All associated administration costs including payment processing, support and regular progress reviews to ensure consistency of provision.
-
Your individual Parent Portal, allowing access to your account details and lessons reports for each lesson, full use of our online systems for bookings, payments and resources including lesson recordings if applicable.
Unlike online tuition, factors such as tutor travel time and expenses and additional resources required for in-person sessions can contribute to increased overall expenses.
Why would you choose in person tuition?
Personal Connection and Rapport:
One of the significant advantages of face-to-face tuition is the opportunity for students to develop a personal connection and rapport with their tutor. In-person interactions allow for non-verbal cues and a sense of presence that can enhance the learning experience for some. This personal connection can foster a strong tutor-student-family relationship, leading to increased engagement and motivation.
Physical Clarification and Demonstration:
Face-to-face tuition provides students with the advantage of real-time clarification and demonstration. Tutors can address questions, provide immediate explanations, and demonstrate complex concepts using visual aids, manipulatives, or practical examples. This hands-on approach can be particularly beneficial for subjects that require physical manipulation or experimentation.
Reduced Screen Time:
Face-to-face tuition offers a break from screen time, which can be beneficial for students who already spend a significant amount of time engaging in online activities. It provides an opportunity for students to engage in learning without relying solely on digital devices, allowing for a more balanced approach to education.
Face-to-face tuition offers several benefits, largely related to the age of the student and their individual learning style and needs. However, it also comes with drawbacks such as limited flexibility, geographic constraints, higher costs, and limited tutor options.
We understand the importance of choice and flexibility in education and cater to diverse learning needs and preferences. To discuss your child’s options, book your free consultation today!
