How Personalised Tuition Can Close Learning Gaps Quickly
Every student learns differently, and sometimes classroom teaching alone isn’t enough to fully understand a topic. Personalised tuition can make a signficant difference, helping students to identify gaps in their knowledge, build confidence, and achieve better results – in an informal, friendly format.
What is Personalised Tuition?
Personalised tution means tailoring lessons specifically to a student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. Unlike one-size-fits-all classroom teaching, this approach ensures students spend more time on areas they struggle with, while still consolidation what they already know.
This means students can go back to areas they haven’t fully understand – while they may normally be left behind in a classroom. Targeted lessons and moving at a flexible pace all help cement in understanding, while ensuring students know it’s safe to ask questions about areas they don’t understand.
How Personalised Tuition Closes Learning Gaps
- Identify Areas of Weakness Quickly.
Through assessments and observations, a tutor can pinpoint exactly where a student needs more help. This allows students to focus their efforts efficiently, rather than wasting time on topics they already understand. - Filling Knowledge Gaps
Tutors can revist foundational concepts to ensure understanding before moving onto more advanced topics. This ensures that gaps in knowledge don’t compound over time. - Faster Learning than in the Classroom
The Education Endowment Foundation writes that “one to one tuition is very effective at improving pupil outcomes.” - Boosting Confidence
Struggling students can often lose confidence, especially when they see their classmates speeding ahead. Personalised tuition allows students to see their progress first hand, increasing motivation and their self-belief. - Preparing for Exams and Assessments
With gaps filled and confidence restored, students can approach tests with exam technique and knowledge they gained through their one to one tutoring. This targeted approach improves results in SATs, 11+, GCSEs, or A-Levels.
Tools and Techniques Used in Personalised Tuition
To make learning engaging and effective, personalised tuition often uses:
- Interactive exerceises and quizzes
- Practical problem-solving tasks
- Active recall tasks
- Digital learning resources for extra practice
- Regular feedback and progress tracking
These tools allow active learning, not just passively absorbing informatino, helping concepts stick.
