Why Primary School Tutors are in Short Supply

Children between the ages of 6 to 13 years of age attend primary schools in Queensland. And it seems that so many parents are engaging primary school tutors for their children – that qualified and experienced private tutors in Brisbane may soon become a rare commodity.

This is because parents are now realising that in today’s fast paced world, their child needs to have a sound education, to have any hope of succeeding in life. And the best way to achieve this is to hire a private tutor.

Brisbane is at the forefront in Australian population growth.  And with the expected influx of people into the region over the next ten or twenty years, we can only hope that the education system can keep up with our children’s needs. But what if it can’t?

Well, that is where primary school tutors come into play. The best time to start helping your child is early in their lives, when they start to fall behind in their learning. A little extra help once a week can do wonders for their confidence and self-esteem.

How can primary school tutors help your child?

The earlier your child feels confident in school, the more well-adjusted they will be and the more confidence they will show. This confidence influences all of their interactions and is seen readily in children who are high achievers.

So if your child is having difficulty with certain subjects in school, a private tutor can be one of the best investments you will ever make.

And for those children who are truly gifted, these children find that school work quickly becomes boring and they disengage from school. Not because they are having difficulties learning – but they are just not challenged in any way. They need more mental stimulation to re-engage with the system and help them learn at their own pace.

Primary school tutors can make a huge difference to these children. They can not only learn their classes ahead of time, but can move ahead at their own pace, very rapidly in many instances.

Do we need more private tutors, Brisbane?

Well until the education system can provide education in a format that helps every single child achieve their own best potential, then yes – we need as many primary school tutors as possible. Our children are the future and investing in the future is a wise move.

11 Reasons Your Child Can Benefit From English Tutoring

Learning to speak English as a first language seems so simple. We just do it! But to children who struggle in school or where English is their second language, learning spelling and grammar can be quite difficult. That’s why it is such a good idea to engage an English tutor.

Brisbane is a rapidly growing city and we want to provide our children with as many opportunities as possible. And here at Grace Simpkins, we provide only the best English tutors in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

The benefits of English tutoring, Gold Coast and Brisbane areas

In general, people with a good command of both spoken and written English have the following benefits over those with lesser skills:

* If your child dreams of being a vet, fireman or policeman – then you don’t want all their hopes dashed, because their written English is not acceptable.

* Understanding English grammar improves our spoken English.

* And people who speak well are presented with more work prospects - because being well spoken broadens their employment opportunities.

* They have a greater potential to succeed within their chosen field.

* English is used around the world, so being able to write and speak English fluently opens up job opportunities that otherwise may be closed to them.

* People tend to have more confidence in themselves and more self-assured when they can read and write English proficiently.

* A good understanding of grammar and the written word opens up a world of literacy to your child.

* They will have more confidence speaking in public and in smaller group settings.

* They are more receptive to complex and analytical topics – which broaden their minds and how they relate to others.

* Even if your child is not maths or science orientated, learning a hands-on trade still needs good communications skills and the ability to write English well.

* Students proficient in written English achieve better scores on college entrance and university exams, even when maths and science are not required.

I am sure that many of us feel that our own written English can be improved. So if you also struggled with the written word or if your child is learning English as a second language, you will understand the importance of English tutoring in Brisbane and the Gold Coast for your child.

How do we deliver our online tuition? 

With the increase in computer and media technologies, delivering online content with real-time interactions and communication, is an everyday reality. Did you know that online teaching has become a common practice in many universities today?

And not just for remote learning students, but for any student who prefers to learn in his pyjamas!

Technology has made online learning a breeze and our instructional tools are first class. We use four complementary tools to deliver our online school tutor services:

1. Video and audio streaming: Your child can access his next lesson and watch it as many times as he need. Children can also stop and pause their lesson, so they don’t become overwhelmed with information in one sitting.

2. Interactive white boards: The tutor can write figures, diagrams and text on a white board to explain complex subjects and answer your child’s questions. It is just like sitting in a classroom with your child.

3. Digital pens: They can be used with the interactive whiteboards and special notepads. Your child can take notes and load them to their computer or send them to their tutor.

4. Desktop sharing: This allows interactive and real-time communication between your child and his online school tutor.
