Online lessons, individual lessons, group lessons. What to choose from this list for your child or for yourself? It all depends on your individual case. Online classes are video tutorials. Now there are many of them in open spaces. There is something to choose from Law notes. This option is suitable for those who want to diversify their free time or to get additional information from experts.
Online lessons (Skype lessons) are suitable for those who do not have scattered attention. It’s easy to get distracted by something more interesting. The advantage is that it saves you and the tutor time. Individual lessons are suitable for almost everyone. Because the total immersion of the tutor and the student in the classroom cannot fail to produce results. Individual lesson = individual approach, time and flexibility. Group classes are best suited for those who are going to learn a foreign language. This will give you the opportunity to communicate in a group, to improve your spoken foreign skills. Group classes are also good because students feel competitive and prepare better for classes.
Don’t forget that effective learning is based on three pillars:
theory
practice
self-study
Therefore, for a quick result, it is recommended to use various learning formats. You can combine: online training, individual and group classes. Video tutorials will help you learn the details and news of the studied area. Face to face classes with a tutor will give you important theory, without which no one can be well informed in a particular field. And group “pumping” practices. Be it English (you can speak), be it mathematics (you can solve a problem or find a new solution to the formula, why not?).
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTION
After asking how to choose the right tutor, another appears: how to negotiate with the teacher?
Sometimes there are problems regarding payment, class time, training methods or approach. But you don’t want to say goodbye to this tutor. You have other qualities left. How to solve such minor problems:
Offer several options. Remind yourself when you are offered a definitive option. Human nature is such that everyone wants to be alone. Offer several solutions to the problem and then the teacher will think that you choose it. And for you all options will be profitable. For example, if you want to reduce the payment, offer:
Classes you have, but for a lower salary. But I promise to study with you 2 times a week for at least six months.
We’ll reduce the payment and I’ll give you a few more students.
After reducing the payment, I am ready to assist at a time convenient for you.
In this case, you yourself must believe that it is beneficial for both of you. And also make sure you keep your word. If after that the teacher does not commit, you should not consider him a scoundrel. Everyone has an opinion. Offer to express your needs. Maybe it will be more profitable for him to study for the same price, but with two students at the same time. He will share the cost with another, and then he will have the opportunity to maintain a relationship with the teacher and continue working.
Finally, when you decide to talk to the tutor about any details you are not happy with, ask for more of what you want. A tutor is a person. Offer to reduce the price twice under specific conditions. Most likely, he will agree, only with a “BUT”, not twice, but once and a half. Bingo The problem is solved, because this price suits you too! In any problem with the tutor, put yourself in his or her shoes. And don’t forget that he is also an ordinary person with feelings, demands and emotions.
