Summer Term: Student Voices
Good tutoring helps students stride towards academic achievement. Here’s proof.
Summer term’s up and the verdict is in. We asked our students about the tutoring support they have received and the difference it has made to them. Here’s what they have to say.
A whopping 95% of our students stepped forward to say that the tutoring support has improved their understanding of the subject. Understanding is the first step towards academic achievement and we’re chuffed with the feedback.
Learning begins with an engaged learner. 92% of our students say that their tutor not only makes learning engaging, but go as far as to describe their tutor as ‘fun’ or ‘very fun’. Sounds like a win, doesn’t it?
“I just want to thank you for giving me and many other kids in the UK the chance to expand our knowledge to help us achieve our goals in life.”
In this day of information overload, a learner’s ability to receive and process content is often overlooked. When learners describe lesson content as appropriate, with 85% agreeing that the level is ‘just right’, they tell us that our tutors are able to assess, adapt and tune in to individual needs to offer learner-sensitive solutions.
The numbers add up to 73% students saying that they feel more confident in the classroom as a result of tutoring. The feedback is heartening. Numerous studies show that confidence is the biggest predictor of academic achievement so it reaffirms our belief that timely tutoring support can help bridge the achievement gap. It comes as no surprise that only 8% of students don’t want to continue tutoring next year.
“You cannot begin to imagine the way I feel. Writing this I am very emotional. The support you have given Johann over the last couple of years has been appreciated in a way that no words can describe… Thank you Tutorfair.”
