After-school tutoring provides immediate reinforcement of what students learned during the day while concepts are still fresh, helping with retention and deeper understanding. It also allows students to ask questions they may not have had time to ask in class, work through challenging homework problems, and prepare for upcoming tests—all without adding pressure to their already busy schedules. The flexibility of after-school sessions means students can balance tutoring with extracurriculars, work, and other commitments.
