The benefits of small group tuition
For parents seeking tuition for their child, the question as to whether small group tuition or one-to-one tuition derives the most beneficial results can seem a difficult one. This situation often isn’t helped by there being conflicting online opinions, advice and resources on the topic. To this end, let us take a closer look at small group tuition as it compares to the one-to-one format and establish exactly what each method of tutorship offers.
Defining small group tuition
Group tuition is defined as a tutor leading a class of a set number of students (generally this is between two to six when defined as small group tuition); when compared to the typical school classroom the interactions and attention that can be given to each student are far more in-depth. Generally group tuition will be held in a tuition centre.
The benefits of small group tuition versus one-to-one tuition
– Typically classes are more affordable than one-to-one tuition
For an idea of the difference in pricing, please do feel free to contact the Eleven Plus team.
– Reputable tuition centres provide engaging materials and create lesson plans that achieve continual progression
What’s more the resources that can be found in tuition centres, and centres specifically chosen to hold such classes, can include more equipment than a tutor could otherwise carry with them to a one-to-one tuition session.
– Children meet new people, make new friends and improve their social skills
Meeting other children and making new friends is, in itself, great for social skills and confidence. It can also help a child in looking forward to their learning more so than if they were to learn alone.
– Productive competition can be nurtured
Competition is an excellent form of motivation for children when it is structured to be positive, healthy and friendly. An adept tutor will be skilled at creating a learning atmosphere within which children benefit from this.
– The small size of the class means that students can be given individual attention and help
When tuition groups are formed from only a handful of students, tutors are able to provide one-to-one support, interaction and help; whilst doing so other children can also be provided with the time that they may need to process newly learnt information.
– Children are able to share their knowledge, whilst also learning from their peers
There may be few as effective a learning method than learning from others, and peers can serve as rich source of information – as well as their being able to share helpful learning and revision tips and tricks.
– The small group environment can be more vibrant than when compared to learning at home, on a one-to-one basis.
Children can flourish within a well-led group learning environment and can thrive off of an environment where learning is enjoyed.
Private versus small group tuition: Which is right for your child?
In short, there’s no right or wrong answer as to which form of tuition is most beneficial. If you’re at all uncertain as to which may be best suited to your child and their learning goals, then please do contact the Eleven Plus team and we’ll be able to discuss their circumstances and provide personalised advice.
