Recognizing Different Learning Styles and How Tutors Can Help

A crucial part of helping a child on their educational journey is understanding their learning style. Every child learns differently, and the “one-size-fits-all” format of a standard classroom may not be beneficial for all students. In many cases, a tutor may be the right solution for getting a child on the right track in their schooling.

First, it’s important to figure out your child’s learning style, which you can achieve in the following ways.

Ask Your Child’s Teacher

Your child’s teacher will have the best possible perspective on how your child learns. Ask about their performance, how (and if) they participate in class, and whether the teacher has any insight.

Talk with Your Child

Speak with your child and find out how they feel about school. Do they struggle with specific subjects or concepts? Do they find it challenging to learn in a traditional classroom environment?

Consider Professional Evaluation

It is a good idea to consider having your child evaluated by a licensed professional. This can help you determine if your child has learning difficulties such as ADHD or dyslexia. If your child’s school has a guidance counselor, you can also work with them to find out if they are facing any challenges in their learning environment.

Once you’ve established your child’s learning style, you can begin working on assisting them in school. A tutor can be very helpful for students with specific learning styles in the following manners.

Working at a Proper Pace

In a regular classroom setting, everyone moves at the same pace. Some students may need to move faster or slower, and the rest of the class has to follow along. A one-on-one tutor can work at a steady, comfortable pace with the individual student to accommodate their learning style.

Providing Focused Attention

A teacher in a standard classroom needs to provide attention to multiple students at once. A personal tutor can give personalized attention to your child and address their questions or concerns, ensuring that they are fully on track and not being left behind.

Maintaining a Schedule

An organized and consistent schedule can further assist your child with performing well in school. A consistent tutoring program will keep your child on a schedule and ensure they are learning at a regular pace that best suits their learning style.

Gathering Feedback

Many schools have parent-teacher conferences, but they are infrequent, and parents have very little time to get a thorough assessment of their child’s performance. With a tutor, you can get consistent feedback on a regular basis to see how well your child is doing.
