How Tutoring Helps Students Succeed

Evidence for Tutoring

Tutoring has long been recognized as an effective tool for enhancing student learning outcomes. 

In recent years, as education shifted to remote or hybrid models due to the pandemic, tutoring has gained even greater attention as a way to support ongoing student learning. A recent report from the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL) highlights the evidence for tutoring as an effective tool in promoting student success.

The CCL report identifies several critical benefits of tutoring. First, tutoring provides personalized instruction tailored to each student’s unique learning needs. This individualized attention can help students struggling with specific concepts or skills to catch up to their peers.

Additionally, tutoring can help students who are already performing well to further develop their skills and knowledge further.

The Benefit of Tutoring

Evidence for Tutoring

Tutoring can provide students with more opportunities for feedback and support. 

In a classroom setting, teachers may need more time or resources to provide individualized feedback to each student. A tutoring program can fill this gap by providing students with regular feedback and support that can help them improve their understanding of the material.

Tutoring can strengthen subject comprehension, boost confidence, and build essential learning skills. It also gives students the individualized attention they don’t get in a crowded classroom. This helps children who struggle to keep up and those who need an extra challenge.

Tutoring Builds Student’s Confidence

Did you know that tutoring can help students build confidence in their abilities? 

When students receive individualized attention and support, they may feel more empowered to take risks and try new things. This can lead to greater self-efficacy and a more positive attitude toward learning.

Moreover, some students may be reluctant to participate in tutoring because they feel embarrassed or want to keep their free time.

Tutoring Sets Students Up for Success

Despite these challenges, the evidence for tutoring suggests that it is a powerful tool for promoting student success. The report recommends that tutoring programs be designed with the student’s needs in mind and integrated into existing educational programs.

Plus, the report suggests that more research needs to be done on the effectiveness of tutoring, particularly in remote or hybrid learning.
