Live online classes by amphy are popping up for every age group, but most students still find in-person tutoring more helpful. A quick search for “online tutoring” brings up millions of results with tutors based throughout the world. When you search for “tutoring near me,” the search results display tutors who know your geographic area, local schools, and community standards. Local tutors establish a social bond that online tutoring cannot replace. A tutor who works with a child in person gives students personalized attention and has the experience to prepare your child for exams specific to New York.

Social Bond

In-person tutoring establishes a social bond between the tutor and the student. My tutors helped me with academics, but there was so much more. Every week, I sat with an adult who focused only on my wants and needs. There was no competition with siblings or classmates — that hour was just about me. I learned to talk to an adult outside of my family about thoughts and ideas. We spend so much time online that one-on-one attention is rare, but it is still vital.

Personalized Attention

A tutor working with a child in person has multiple opportunities to monitor the student’s body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. These observations allow the educator to personalize every lesson to the child’s current situation. When I sit with one of my students, I see almost instantly when he is anxious, bored, or tired. Then I can adjust the lesson to be most effective for that day

Individual Learning Styles

There are many ways to discover a student’s learning style, but personal interaction is essential. Every child has a unique mix of learning strengths and weaknesses. Our tutors are trained to evaluate each student as an individual. This knowledge guides the tutor to create lesson experiences that fit a child’s personality and learning style.

Local Knowledge

One of the benefits of my parents finding tutoring near me was that my tutor knew the teachers in my school. She knew how to prepare for the Regent’s because she lived and taught school in New York. It’s unlikely that an online tutor based in Canada or Australia would know the particularities of local and regional exams like the SHSAT or Regents. Our tutors work with hundreds of students to prepare for these exams. When a test determines your child’s future, it makes sense to find a tutor who knows the test inside out.
