Faced with the pressures of modern-day life, it is undeniable that some children will be in need of after school lessons. After school lessons should not be confused with after school care, after school clubs or after school activities. Many parents work hours that require their offspring to be cared for and occupied in after school clubs where children can play, relax and socialise with others. Some after school clubs may focus on particular activities such as swimming, football, ballet, gymnastics and computers, to name but a few. After school lessons are for children in need of extra help with specific lessons.
Parents will consider after school lessons if they feel that their child is not making the progress they would like to see. After school lessons may also be considered by parents when teachers have raised concerns about the progress that their child is making. This is often discussed at parents' evenings.
Some children may have been recognised by the school as having special educational needs and will discuss the issues with the parents. The parents will be informed of their child's individual educational plan which will show the specific targets the child is working on and the progress that is being made. Once parents are made aware of these needs they may want to find out about extra after school lessons that will help their children make the desired progress.
Many tutors that offer after school lessons will make a consultation and discuss with the parent and often the child as to what the specific problems are. The problems may be across several subjects but it is often best to concentrate on just one subject during the after school lessons as too many different subject objectives can be confusing. Children that require after school lessons need to have consistent teaching with consolidation and repetition of key learning skills to make good progress.
After school lessons are often sought by parents who want tuition for their children from the ages of six or seven, to make sure that they don't fall behind. Parents will enquire about after school lessons and often word of mouth will find the best type of tutor for the task in hand. Looking on the internet will reveal numerous agencies that offer after school lessons but many parents prefer to go directly to the tutor rather than through an agency.
A good tutor will ensure that the after school lessons are exactly what is required by the parents and also the student themselves. For successful progress to be made in after school lessons good communication is vital. The child must feel comfortable with the tutor and understand the need for their after school lessons. The tutor and the student need to be open and honest and be able to express themselves if they are confused or need concepts explained in a different way. Good relationships are important and keeping to clear learning objectives with praise and rewards will help ensure that after school lessons are making a real difference to the students learning.
Some tutors prefer to visit their pupils at their own home for the after school lessons and many parents also prefer this as they do not need to transport their child elsewhere which is also time consuming and tiring for the child after a day at school. Some tutors may find it more cost-effective, one the other hand, to have pupils come to them, thereby saving on time and travel costs and making it possible to schedule back-to-back after school lessons.
Maths dominates the after school lesson market. According to the Institute of Education Researchers, 70 per cent of all pupils who have after school lessons receive tuition in maths. English comes a distant second, science behind that, and other subjects such as history and geography barely register on the radar.
