Tuition at home or at school?

choo on Oct 2nd 2009

There are advantages and disadvantages to consider when deciding on school or a private tutor for your children. You may also be concerned about private tuition because you worry that your child will be lonely. Indeed, there is a distinction to be made between socialisation – learning to function in social settings and be a well-adjusted member of society – and socialising. Socialising means interacting with others. Will your privately tutored children have the opportunity to spend time with other children, to hang out, to be social? Again, this concern is baseless. Children who have private tutors get many opportunities to socialise. They may take classes, participate in sports, join clubs or church groups, or take part in activities with other tutors. In fact, one often-overlooked truth about private tuition is that children schooled by tutors are free from the negative aspects of social interactions at school, including cliques and bullying. As a result, studies show that homes tutored children grow up with a more positive self-image and fewer hangups. One last common concern about private tuition is that the children will fall behind their peers academically. After all, parents are often not certified tutors. Once again, this anxiety is unfounded. What we often forget about home tuition is that it is not confined to the house. When a child is educated at home, the world is his classroom. A home tutored child can go to a museum, library, workplace, music class, volunteer job, or anywhere else where learning can occur. For the home tutored child, learning never ends. That is why many children taught at home excel academically without trouble.
The bottom line is that you will find that most apprehensions about children with a home tutor are baseless and rest on ignorance and stereotype. If you’re considering getting a maths tutor or an english tutor to teach your child at home, make an informed decision based only on what is right for you and your child and not by listening to others.
