| Finding
a personal tutor can be very hit-and-miss. How can you be sure that
the person you choose is properly qualified and experienced? What
are their professional standards and practice? Students with no experience
or training often advertise as tutors. Would you trust your car to
a young auto-DIY enthusiast? It’s worse if you are looking for
help in a number of subjects. With this in mind Marlborough and Hungerford
tutors was formed a few years ago by experienced private tutors who
realised they could perform a valuable service offering personal tuition
in a wide range of subjects to a high standard.
Children need help if they are struggling, often through no fault
of their own. Perhaps they have missed schooling through illness,
changed schools and syllabus, or had a bad experience which has
left them with a dislike of a subject. One-to-one tuition can bring
real improvements in a short time. Big classes make supporting the
individual child very difficult.
Others may want help for exams at GCSE and A Level. Some may want
coaching for Common Entrance to get into an independent school.
This can be provided for small groups as well as individuals and
excellent results have been achieved. Other individual needs can
also be catered for, such as preparing for International Baccalaureate
exams. Each student receives individual tuition precisely targeted
to meet their demands.
Adults, who are more
likely to want to study for personal fulfilment, may find it more
convenient to be taught at a time to suit themselves fitting in
with working hours, and on a one-to-one basis. There is no upper
age limit to learning – our students have included a septuagenarian
who wanted to learn science to understand things that had hitherto
been a mystery, and an octogenarian keen to refresh and improve
his French before moving to France.
