User guide to Tutoring Services

A tutor is a person who is helps in the education of other people. A tutor is often a postgraduate student or a lecturer who is assigned to conduct a seminar for undergraduate students. A private tutor is a person who teachers a specific subject or skill to a single or group of students. They are often privately hired and paid by the student or the student?s family.

Tutoring may be done at home or any place conducive for learning. There are also tutorial centers where students go to learn instead of having a tutor come over.

In-home tutoring requires in-person instruction, often held at a physical location chosen by the student. Although less flexible and typically held during after school hours, in-home tutoring is personal and there is a possibility for the tutor to work with teachers to help the student understand the lecture better.

Online tutoring is another way for a student to receive help from a tutor. Sessions are done through an application that was programmed for such activities where the student and tutor can communicate. Online tutoring has been gaining popularity due to the convenience it brings to the students.

In online tutoring, instruction is held on the computer involving multimedia devices for easy learning. It is more flexible than in-house tutoring and can be recorded so the student may be able to go back to lessons previously discussed. There is very little potential for the tutor to work with the teachers to figure out the best approach for the student to learn. As such, materials that are provided may not always correspond to the subjects taught in school.

Homeschooling is the education of a child at home by parents or tutors instead of going to school. It is an alternative to private or public schools for a variety of reasons including better student to teacher ratio and better academic test results. Homeschooling in Australia is legal and many families have homeschooled their children for a long time.

Tips on getting the most out of a tutor session

  • Meet your tutor to meet you in a place where you are most comfortable. It can be in the library, in a caf?, or a park. You will be able to finish a lot more and learn more if you feel comfortable with your surroundings.
  • Always bring your notes and the necessary tools for learning such as books, class notes, a laptop or a calculator.
  • Always be on time for a tutor session and keep studying afterwards for maximum retention.
  • Do not be nervous when asking your tutor about something related to the lesson. He or she may be able to help you understand a point better than just keeping the question to yourself. Make your needs direct and do not waste time.
  • Tutors should never do your homework. They are there to help you understand and to learn, but not to write your paper or do your solution for you.
