Phoenix English Tutoring FAQ
If you are looking for quality Phoenix English tutoring for yourself or your child, Varsity Tutors has you covered. English can be a difficult subject for students at any educational level. If you have an elementary school student, they are learning how to speak, write, and read effectively. Middle school students study more complicated concepts including how to properly use commas in dates, lists, and cities and states. If you are a high school English student, you are learning even more complicated topics such as how to cite sources and construct essays. Perhaps you are even learning English at the college level, in which case you are covering advanced concepts like how to form focused arguments with supporting points. No matter what concepts you or your student are reviewing, Phoenix English tutors can help learners get a more thorough review than they would be able to by studying on their own.
In what ways is Phoenix English tutoring different than learning in a classroom?
The private instruction that we can set your student up with can be a great way to support in-class learning through spending additional time focusing on the concepts that they need help with the most. Unlike classroom teachers, who usually have to follow a curriculum, Phoenix English tutors can make your learner's needs their top priority. Instructors can take the time to get to know your student and what topics they are having trouble with to make sure that they are discovering and filling in gaps in knowledge, so they have a stronger foundation. Your student can even set the pace of the sessions. For example, if your learner already has a solid grasp on vocabulary, they can let their instructor know and spend more time focusing on topics they don't quite understand yet such as how to identify pronouns. Additionally, if you are a college student, you can let your educator know what you would like to spend the most time on, whether it is how to evaluate your arguments or how to properly cite your sources.
Since there are no other students in the sessions that they have to worry about, Phoenix English tutors can try different methods to figure out what works best for your learner's specific needs, goals, and preferences. They can even use learning materials that are customized to your child's studying preferences. For instance, if your student is a visual learner, their educator can use flashcards to go over concepts like how to discriminate between intransitive and transitive verbs. On the other hand, if you are a high school student who is more of an aural learner, your mentor can get you involved in in-depth discussions about topics such as how to construct a logical, well-reasoned argument that is supported by evidence or how to identify the characters, plot, and theme of a story.
Phoenix English tutoring allows your student to learn without all the distractions that can be found in a conventional classroom setting. Their instructor can have them try various approaches and techniques to solve a problem until they find one that works well for them. Mentors can also modify their teaching methods to suit different learners, and even put together a plan designed to facilitate your child's needs. Since your student is the only one the instructor needs to focus on during Phoenix English tutoring sessions, they can also receive continuous, instantaneous feedback to make sure that they are getting the most out of their studying experience
What are the different benefits of setting my student up with Phoenix English tutors near me?
Working with Phoenix English tutors can be a good way to help your learner work more effectively toward individual academic goals using a plan that addresses their strengths and areas of opportunities. Your student's mentor will have experience in all of the topics of English they are covering, and since these are one-on-one sessions, younger students don't have to worry about feeling embarrassed about asking questions. For example, if your child is having a tough time determining synonyms and antonyms, they can let their instructor know. Their mentor can then focus on going over this specific topic in greater detail during their Phoenix English tutoring sessions. Instructors can even break complex concepts down in a way that your student will more easily understand.
If you are a college or high school student, Phoenix English tutors can help you prepare for upper-level learning such as grad school or college. Private instruction can be an effective way to move ahead of the rest of your class or take a more thorough look at one specific concept, whether it is knowing how to identify whether the evidence appropriately supports your claims or editing and revising. Your instructor can also go over organizational skills for writing, which can come in handy as you progress in your education and begin to get assigned more writing assignments. Additionally, Phoenix English tutors can use discussion and intensive work to help you learn concepts while establishing strong study habits that can assist you in your future educational endeavors.
Phoenix English tutoring can also be quite beneficial for parents. When your student is working with an expert instructor, you don't have to feel as pressured to help them with their schoolwork. You can even learn some ways in which you can help your student with their studies from their educator. Your student's mentor will be dedicated to their success and empathetic to their needs, so you know they will be in good hands. In addition to all of this, students who work with an instructor can gain an improved attitude about learning in general from their mentors making the academics more accessible to them.
How can I work Phoenix English tutoring into my student's busy schedule?
We make it easy to get your learner set up with their own private instructor. They can participate in either online or in-person sessions. When your student works with a mentor online, they get to meet with them through video chat on the Live Learning Platform. This handy platform allows your student and their instructor to use a shared document editor for writing to enhance the studying process. There are also integrated practice problems your student can work on. Plus, your student can go back and watch older sessions thanks to the recording feature.
Your student can participate in their online sessions from a place that is convenient for them. Thanks to the Live Learning Platform, learners can work with their instructor from their own home or even a local library such as the Burton Barr Central Library. This way, your student can study in an environment that is ideal for their learning preferences.
