In the US and China, pulling a child out of mainstream schooling is becoming increasingly popular.\u00a0In the UK, children\u00a0have been withdrawn from state schools not because parents wish to enlighten their children by revolutionising their education, but because of basic necessity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meeting one my pupil, Sidra, through MyTutor\u00a0made me realise how school life simply isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all experience. Thousands of students prefer homeschooling as a response to:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Bullying<\/li>\n<li>Behavioural problems<\/li>\n<li>Limited places at good schools in their area<\/li>\n<li>The school environment did not meet their special educational needs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sidra needed the flexibility of a homeschooling programme so she could look after her young daughter whilst still getting an education. There are countless courses available for homeschool students to access. And it\u2019s an excellent way for students, like Sidra, to manage their own learning at their own pace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A school without teachers &#8211; a student\u2019s dream come true, surely? Well, maybe not so much; Sidra warns about the challenges of homeschooling:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI would only suggest it to people who are very motivated to learn because you\u2019re alone and essentially you have to teach yourself. Sitting down every day to study also requires discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those of you who\u2019ve laboured through them, I\u2019m sure you\u2019d agree that A-levels are hard enough, and almost unimaginable without the continual support of a teacher and your classmates around you.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/homeschooling-tutor\/\">Homeschooling using Tutors<\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All Sidra needed was to sit down with someone who could explain what an abstract noun was, but she found the local homeschooling centre&#8217;s one-to-one tuition far too expensive, as was most other private tuition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nothing can compare with face-to-face guidance, especially from someone who has been through the same exams and can make the whole process seem a little less isolating. That\u2019s why signing up with MyTutor is such a great option for those in the same position as Sidra.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She says \u201cMyTutor is like being in classroom with a tutor\u2019s full attention towards you and with the options of sharing text, files and writing on the board. Its next best thing to being in a real classroom. I am very happy I found this website.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">Sidra now has an opportunity to get\u00a0into the Uni she wants. Better still, she&#8217;s still fully in control of her learning; she can get her qualifications without compromising a thing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Written by Leigh S.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the concept of homeschooling conjures up images of hippy mothers and finger-painting, think again.
