The benefits of one-on-one tutoring

            Perhaps the most famous tutoring sessions in history took place when Socrates, (469–399 B.C.E), the famous ancient Greek philosopher and teacher, became Plato’s tutor. In the 11^th century, at the first universities in Europe, tutoring was an important part of a student’s day-to-day life. In modern times, tutoring has of course, become commonplace.

            Why is tutoring so important? Our classroom teachers generally do an amazing job. However, they are faced with a herculean task. Creating and implementing individualized programs for 25-35 students is extremely difficult. In one hour of tutoring, a teacher is able to give more one-on-one guidance and teaching than that student would receive in class over an entire semester.  

            Tutoring by classroom teachers: There is no Ontario College of Tutors like there is the Ontario College of Teachers. Parents have somewhat limited avenues to find quality tutors for their children. This is where Connect Education comes in. Connect Education simplifies and streamlines the search for certified educators and students. All teachers in the platform are experienced, qualified teachers and Early Childhood Educators.

            How to save time finding quality tutors:  Finding tutors through traditional methods is outdated and often requires significant effort on the part of parents.  https://www.connect-education.com/ simplifies the search for qualified educators and parents get to set their budget.  Parents are able to find help customized to their child’s needs such as what days and times would work for them, and what price range they feel comfortable with.  Connect Education then provides a list of matching teachers specific to their search criteria. Parents can also select in-person tutoring or virtual tutoring as the method of delivery.  

            Post-pandemic learning: Tutoring has become more important than ever in the post-pandemic period.
