A private tutor is an individual who works one-on-one with students to provide extra help and instruction in a particular subject. For younger students, tutors might provide overall help with schoolwork, such as assisting students in developing good study skills or helping them get ready for tests.  A private tutor doesn’t shell out a preset timetable but curates one with your child. Your child is no longer an instruction and notes taker (unlike at school); with a private tutor, your child co-creates their learning experience and feels much more involved in the process. More attention to mastering the basics.
