However, a growing number of students and parents are turning to tutors for many other reasons: for advice on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/University\/\">applying to university<\/a>, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/\">increasing academic self-confidence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Is this what you would expect from your child&#8217;s tutor? Or do you want their help solely to help improve and maintain exam results?<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tutors can improve exam results<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s undeniable that a tutor&#8217;s first port of call should be attention to the child&#8217;s academic progression and bettering their exam results &#8211; if they weren&#8217;t helping in this aspect, you would have to consider what part of your child&#8217;s life they are affecting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You may worry about:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The amount of attention your child receives in class.<\/li>\n<li>Whether they are being given the opportunity to\u00a0reach their full potential.<\/li>\n<li>If\u00a0they are asking for the help they need, instead of shying away for fear of embarrassment.<\/li>\n<li>Not getting as much work as they need, or feeling swamped by the amount they&#8217;re getting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enlisting the help of a tutor can resolve\u00a0these issues.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8230; and improve academic self-confidence<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A\u00a0growing number of parents are opting for tutors to help raise their child&#8217;s self-confidence. Dreading lessons and feeling afraid to answer questions can have a huge impact on their self-worth and confidence. By enlisting a tutor, struggling students have a new aid to call on when work gets tough. Similarly,\u00a0gifted students, who may shy away from speaking up in class due to being branded as a &#8216;geek&#8217; or &#8216;nerd&#8217;, have someone to encourage their talents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In an ideal world, the best tutors take on all of these qualities. They are first and foremost teachers. Helping their students with\u00a0concerns over work and a guiding hand when exam preparation begins to take its toll. But they should also be a mentor. They should be increasing their pupil&#8217;s self-confidence: picking them up in hard subjects so they can contribute\u00a0during class, or reassuring them that intelligence is nothing to hide. The tutor should be a figurehead of education, without being intimidating or patronising. The link between academia and mentor &#8211; and that should be your reasoning behind finding and enlisting their help.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><em><em><em>Written by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/robert-grabiner-40273b1\/\">Robert Grabiner<\/a><\/em><\/em> <\/em><\/em><em><em><em><em>&#8211; founder of MyTutor<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tutor\u00a0can\u00a0help improve exam results and academic success of a student, and it&#8217;s for this reason that they are needed.
