They way to tutor the generations

Tutoring is educational support, either one-on-one or in small groups. It’s different from regular teaching in that it’s meant to be supplementary, meaning it works to support or complement regular classroom activities.

When you choose a tutor who suits your child’s needs and build a relationship with them, it enriches their academic development, fills knowledge gaps, and takes a bit of pressure off you by providing homework support. It can also help gifted students excel beyond their age or year level and serve to build confidence for those children who aren’t comfortable raising their hand or sitting at the front of the class.

“Tutoring isn’t about the tutor – it’s about the student,” says Cluey co-founder, Michael Allara. “It should start with understanding how best to support the individual needs, goals and circumstances of that particular individual.

“Great tutoring should have clear areas of focus and a plan that continually builds and adapts over time to meet the students’ needs. As much as possible it should complement their schooling, rather than challenge or replace it. Ultimately, tutoring is a learning partnership, focused on the growth of the student. This is why it’s important to look beyond the tutor when finding the right partner.”
