My Own Tutor's method
Unlike any other learning support service, My Own Tutor deals with each student individually, recognising that every student has three parts to what is going on in their learning and tailoring a service to meet those three parts of the student’s educational life:
- The Past – what has happened up until now in the student’s education; things that have been learned need to be consolidated; gaps and weaknesses need to be identified. Whatever year the student is in; however close or far they are away from exams, their educational progress is controlled by what they have done so far. What has happened in our past in learning often has an effect on what we are struggling with today. Knowledge is built upon, year by year. If any of the building blocks of learning from the past are weak or missing, that often causes problems with learning new topics today.
- The Present – what is going on now; what does the student need now to help with issues that arise every day? Whether it’s a difficulty with homework, not understanding a new topic taught at school, trying to remember something learned two years ago, preparing for an exam next year….students will always need help on a day-to-day basis with what they are working on today.
- The Future – where is the student going; what hopes does the student have; what exams need passing; when are they going to be taken? In order to make the most of their potential, students need to approach exams with confidence, knowing what they are facing. They should be well-practised in what they have to do.
My Own Tutor’s unique service deals with all of these parts of the students educational needs.
- We provide a structured programme of study which follows the National Curriculum. It gives practice and revision in all of the topics that the student should have covered up until now. It diagnoses where there may be any areas of past study which need to be strengthened.
- As issues crop up in the day-to-day life of the student, the one-to-one help from our qualified teachers combined with our lessons and practice exercises and assessments deal with homework and schoolwork problems that the student may encounter.
- We help students prepare for exams by
- Building their confidence
- Identifying and helping to fix any weaknesses or gaps from the past.
- Helping with any new issue as soon as it arises.
- Providing continual detailed feedback on which parts of the syllabus need extra attention
- Giving practice and revision tests for exams.
My Own Tutor prepares students for the Future.
