AD: There has been a sharp rise in the number of parents seeking help when it comes to their children's education and in children that are receiving private tuition in at least one subject. It is estimated that 25% of children have personal, one-to-one or group level support to help them make progress at school. This is believed to be even higher in London and amongst privately educated children. The question is - is it really necessary?
There is no simple yes or no answer, however there some cases where having extra help in the form of private tuition can be very beneficial for children. This might be because they have fallen behind, are struggling with a particular subject or maybe they have been out of school for a prolonged period of time. In the post we’ve teamed up with a junior school to share the benefits of private tutoring and helping you to decide if a private tutor is what your child needs.
