      Leading provider of private tutoring to UHNW families, Tutors International, today commented that private tutors should not just prepare students for exams, but prepare them for life - fostering self-sufficient learners who are equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world with confidence and skill. 

      OXFORD, England, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- There are some that think that private tutoring is just about spoon-feeding information to students, making them overly dependent on outside help. While it's true that some tutors are focused on cramming for exams, this overlooks the broader benefits of tutoring.

      Watch Joanna Dunckley-Phillips, Client Relationship Manager at Tutors International and former private tutor, extol the benefits of an interest-led dialogue between student and tutor, known as the Socratic method of teaching, which private tutors use to foster independent learning.

      Leading provider of private tutoring to UHNW families, Tutors International, today commented that private tutors should not just prepare students for exams, but prepare them for life - fostering self-sufficient learners who are equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world with confidence and skill.

      But true academic success goes beyond just memorising facts and passing exams. Even though schools around the world often use these as benchmarks, teachers would rather use their expertise to engage and inspire their students. When a student truly understands a subject, remembering dates and details comes naturally. Learning independently is a life-long skill.

      A study by B.J Zimmerman in 2002 showed that when students have more control over their own learning, they not only understand and remember more but also build skills that are key for success in school and throughout life.

      Tutors International CEO and Founder, Adam Caller, explains how a strength-based education helps students to become independent learners:

      "Teaching a young person for whom a particular topic might feel irrelevant is like trying to force the same poles of two magnets together – there will be inevitable resistance and no strong connection. It certainly won't stick. A strength-based education, on the other hand, allows subjects and talents to attract each other. The learner and the topic have a strong connection, with neither repelling the other. This completely changes the learning culture for that student. They no longer associate learning with forced teaching from within the four walls of a classroom. Instead, learning becomes a lifelong venture that encourages personal growth, and moves with their minds and aptitudes, as opposed to against them."

      Cultivating independent learners

      The unique benefit of private tutoring is the ability to create personalised educational programmes for every child, working to their strengths. In their comment, Tutors International show what strategies educators can use to cultivate independent learners.

      These strategies create knowledgeable self-directed learners, students who have developed both the focus and critical thinking skills they need to succeed in school and thrive in a world that requires them to continue learning throughout their lives.

      Even in short-term placements, a skilled tutor can help develop a student's ability to learn independently - enhancing academic performance and making learning a more enjoyable and self-driven process.
