Tutoring Mythbusting
Since its inception in 2020, tutoring in schools has now been implemented across England. With many different options available, tutoring is now becoming mainstay in supporting students to plug learning gaps, achieve their goals and even go beyond expectations.
But there are many misconceptions around the time, effort and benefits that small-group tutoring has on both teachers and students. At Pearson Tutoring, we believe that sessions should be easy and simple to set up and that students should be able to benefit from them at a time and place that suits them.
So, we’ve looked into these misconceptions and myths and give you the low-down here on the real experiences of the tutors, students and schools we work with.
