Philadelphia English Tutoring FAQ
If you or your student is struggling with English topics, get in touch with Varsity Tutors and let us get you connected with qualified Philadelphia English tutors. Sometimes in a traditional classroom, students do not always get the extra support and guidance they need to fully comprehend a subject due to the lack of personalized attention. With Philadelphia English tutors, you or your student can spend as much time as needed exploring a concept you find challenging. Additionally, the private instructor can help you or your student increase your confidence levels and help you learn strategies for making your study sessions more efficient and effective.
How does Philadelphia English tutoring differ from traditional classroom learning?
You or your student can get the one-on-one attention needed for helping to understand a concept when working with Philadelphia English tutors. This is different from a conventional classroom where the teacher must work with all students and may not have time to sit down with every student who is falling behind or doesn't completely understand a topic. The teacher also tends to use one teaching style, though it may not mesh well with every student's preferred learning methodology.
With a personal instructor there to help guide and encourage you, you or your student can spend as much time as needed on each English concept. Philadelphia English tutors can also use different teaching strategies to best target your strengths and improve your weaknesses.
For instance, if you have an elementary student who is having a difficult time with reading and learns best visually, the mentor can design flashcards and other study aids for them to work with. If you are the one facing challenges and you are an audible learner, the mentor can guide you through a short lecture about how to revise your own papers or engage you in an animated conversation about learning to evaluate your arguments. By teaching with a student's preferred learning style in mind, the private instructor can help solidify the knowledge in you or your student's mind.
Another way that Philadelphia English tutoring is different from learning in a regular classroom is that you or your student can choose what pace you'd like to learn and can decide which topics you'd like to put your energy into studying. You don't have to wait around for other students to catch up to you but instead can skim over a topic that you already understand.
For example, if you have a high school student that already understands how to use proper grammar, it may be unnecessary for them to continue to review this. Instead, they can put their efforts into learning something they have a more difficult time with, such as analyzing interpreting, and dissecting written material to compare, contrast, and discuss elements. When the personal mentor encourages students to shore up their weaker areas first, it can improve how productive the lessons are and can better prepare students for schoolwork.
What are some benefits of learning from Philadelphia English tutors near me?
When first working with you or your student, Philadelphia English tutors can give you a practice test to take. This test can assess how much you know on each topic and can give the instructor an idea of where you or your student still needs to improve. This lets them design flexible study sessions that work in tandem with what you are learning in school.
The relationship formed between you or your student and the private mentor is another advantage to Philadelphia English tutoring. The instructor can get to know you or your student on a more personal level. This can include asking questions about goals, hobbies, and where you or your student believe their strengths and weaknesses to be. Then their lessons can include elements of you or your student's personality. This can help increase engagement and interest in the material.
The rapport built during Philadelphia English tutoring can help in other ways, too. For example, the instructor can encourage you or your student to keep a positive outlook, even when dealing with a subject that's proving more challenging to understand. This can change the way you learn to address English concepts and may even change the way you view education as a whole.
Useful and interactive feedback is another perk to private instruction. As you or your student begin to study English concepts, the mentor can point out mistakes as they come up. This can help you or your student learn from mistakes and keep errors from turning into bad habits. The instructor can help set reasonable goals to work toward during study sessions. This way, as you or your student meets each milestone, it can increase confidence. The instructor can also offer you suggestions for making your study sessions more productive. For example, they can teach you how to employ strategies for building reading comprehension, learning proper time management skills, and improving organization methods.
How can I find time for me or my student to participate in Philadelphia English tutoring?
我们先w how hard it can be to fit study sessions into what already may be a full schedule. That's why we do the hard work of finding you or your student a mentor who can meet when it's convenient for you, whether that's online or in-person.
If you decide that online studying is the way to go, either for yourself or your student, it can be even easier to find time to fit these lessons into your time constraints because online mentorship does not involve commuting anywhere. Rather, you or your student will connect with Philadelphia English tutors via our Live Learning Platform.
The platform is intended to make online lessons just as efficient as in-person tutelage. If you have decided to get started with Philadelphia English tutoring, you or your student just need a compatible device, such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, and a reliable connection to the internet. Then you can pick out a place conducive to learning, such as the Bala Cynwyd Library or even from your own home.
The features that the Live Learning Platform has can help increase efficiency and engagement between students and the instructor. Some of these features include a digital whiteboard, a video chat, or a shared document editor. By using the video chat to hear, speak, and see the instructor, you or your student can always stop a lesson to ask questions or request clarification on a concept. The platform records every study session, which can prove very beneficial should you or your student want to go back and view a prior lesson. This can help should you decide you want to review something more thoroughly or you want more practice in a particular area.
