In a classroom setting with 20+ students, teachers must move at an average pace that doesn't always match individual learning needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows a tutor to slow down, repeat concepts, use different explanations, and adjust difficulty in real time based on your understanding. This targeted approach means you spend less time on material you already know and more time on concepts that are truly challenging, leading to faster progress and deeper comprehension.
