Spokane English Tutoring FAQ
If you or your student are in search of extra help with English, Varsity Tutors can find and connect you with qualified Spokane English tutors. When you struggle with English, it can be hard to get the necessary help in the classroom. Getting the help of a private mentor means you and your student can get any of your questions answered until you understand the material at hand. We can help connect you with a tutor who has the necessary skills to help increase your student's knowledge and confidence in English.
How is Spokane English tutoring different from learning in the classroom?
When your child is working with Spokane English tutors, they get the sole focus of a qualified expert. In the traditional classroom, a teacher has to follow a strict syllabus while also trying to meet the needs of an entire class full of students. This doesn't allow for much time to answer questions for every student who is struggling. Also, it means the teacher does not have the ability to adapt their teaching method to satisfy every student because each student learns differently. This sometimes makes it hard for students who are struggling in English to get the help they need and keep up with their peers.
However, when you or your student work with some of the best Spokane English tutors, your sessions can address the issues that are the most prominent in your studies. Your mentor can alter the way they teach to fit your personal needs. For instance, if you are struggling with the proper way to cite sources, and you are a visual learner, your instructor can create a PowerPoint presentation to show you how to properly cite the sources for your upcoming research paper. If you are the parent of an elementary-aged auditory learner, the instructor may play audio books to help your student learn how to read while staying interested.
Spokane English tutoring with a private English mentor allows you to skip the topics that are already familiar to you in order to address those that you are challenged by. This leads to more efficient sessions that are focused on your particular areas of struggle. Learning new material is a lot of work, so why not help yourself focus your energy where it will make the biggest impact?
What are some advantages of having myself or my student study with Spokane English tutors near me?
Spokane English tutors can spend time figuring out your student's current skills and create lesson plans using those skills to cater to their learning needs. These personalized learning plans are flexible. If your student quickly progresses in learning synonyms and antonyms, the mentor can move them directly into determining the meaning of words using prefixes and suffixes.
When your student is working with private Spokane English tutors, the instructor can get to know them on a personal level and find ways to connect with them. Personalized lesson plans are just the start. Studying with a dedicated, qualified English mentor can impact their overall attitude towards school and English class, not just their skills.
Learning English with the help of a supportive instructor lets your student develop a stable and trusting relationship, and allows them to learn English concepts in different ways. When your student is facing the challenging and complex English concepts in the classroom, they might not have the chance to have it thoroughly explained to them. Also, they may feel uncomfortable admitting that they are struggling. During private Spokane English tutoring sessions, your student can feel safe and comfortable opening up about their struggles with English, whether they are having problems with expanding their vocabulary or learning to differentiate between transitive and intransitive verbs.
Spokane English tutoring also allows your student to get immediate feedback. It is important to learn early English skills because it is a cumulative subject. If your student falls behind, it may be difficult to catch up. When they have an experienced and empathetic mentor by their side to answer their questions right away- and help them correct their mistakes immediately- they can learn the skills necessary to advance to the next level of English courses.
As a parent of a student, you benefit as well. If you have been out of school for awhile, it can feel next to impossible to help your child figure out their nightly homework. Having a private tutor helping your student tackle their English homework can relieve some of the pressure you are feeling to help them succeed. Getting the help of a tutor can also help you develop ways of helping your child with their English studies, like making sure your child has the supplies they need to get their work done effectively. Simply providing your student with colored markers, lined and unlined paper, index cards, and other school supplies in ample amounts can help them do well.
How can I work Spokane English tutoring into my student's busy schedule?
There are so many benefits to working with a private English instructor, but you may be wondering how to fit sessions into your student's busy schedule. However, Varsity Tutors has a great convenient solution. We can help you connect with a mentor either in-person or online who has the same schedule availability as your student so that your student can get the help they need in English.
When you decide to enroll your student in online sessions, you benefit from even more convenient. The Live Learning Platform lets your student log on and speak to their Spokane English tutors from any location with a stable internet connection. There are numerous different resources in the platform that make each session efficient, including a digital whiteboard, video chat, and a shared document editor for further convenience.
With the digital whiteboard, you can watch as your instructor writes sentences using the grammar rules that you are learning. You can also participate in activities on the whiteboard with your instructor as well. Video chat allows you to get English concepts that are troubling you explained face-to-face, and the shared document editor allows you to receive feedback on your writing and make changes that your mentor can see. If you or your student run into any difficulties, it is easy for a mentor to show students where they went wrong and help them to not repeat the error in the future. This immediate feedback is perhaps one of the most essential part of working with a tutor.
The Live Learning Platform allows you to meet with an instructor face-to-face without leaving the comfort of your home. However, if you do decide to leave, you can go to your favorite coffee shop, or even the Spokane Valley Library to log online for Spokane English tutoring sessions.
