Tutors International addresses the common concern regarding the impact of homeschooling and personalised tutoring on children’s social skills, presenting evidence that these educational paths can significantly enhance social development and intelligence.
OXFORD, England, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Tutors International, a premier provider of bespoke tutoring services, today offered insights into the positive impact of homeschooling and personalised tutoring on children’s social abilities. Contrary to widespread beliefs that such educational methods might hinder social development, the organisation highlights how one-on-one education fosters substantial social and academic growth.
Adam Caller, Founder and CEO of Tutors International, emphasises the unique role of private tutors in shaping not only academic excellence but also social competencies. According to Caller, the deep, personalised interaction between tutor and student in a homeschooling environment is pivotal in enhancing a child’s social intelligence. This setting allows for a symbiotic relationship, fostering confidence, effective communication, and the ability to manage social relationships positively.
The custom-tailored nature of private tutoring, aimed at aligning with the student’s individual interests and the family’s values, significantly boosts learning enthusiasm. This approach not only propels academic success but also ensures that the educational journey complements the child’s personal growth, making learning a more enriching experience.
Moreover, the daily interactions with highly educated tutors, who often hold degrees from prestigious universities, play an essential role in strengthening a child’s social confidence. These interactions are crucial for teaching the art of initiating and maintaining meaningful friendships and relationships, skills that are often overlooked in traditional classroom settings due to logistical limitations.
A Tutors International client from Cheshire, England, shared their positive experience with the social opportunities created by their tutor:
“[The tutor] was very focused on the importance of social interaction for children and often encouraged us to go above and beyond organising events and experiences where the girls could be with other children from: French clubs to Brownies to ensure the girls maintained contact and built new friendships.”
Addressing concerns about the social aspects of full-time private tuition, Caller explained that removing children from traditional school settings does not isolate them but instead provides more opportunities for socialisation outside academic hours. Homeschooled children, with the guidance of their tutors, engage in a variety of social activities, ensuring a well-rounded development.
Mr Caller’s comment:
“What happens when we take people out of school is that we’re not taking them away from people. The plan is not to sit alone with a student and a teacher in a classroom and say, there’s just the two of you and that’s your life now.
“Most of the day, the other, say, 12 hours they’re awake and not studying, that’s when they socialise. We’re not talking about taking children away from other children. In fact, when they’re home schooled, they have more time to socialise.”
Tutors International’s extensive experience demonstrates that homeschooling and private tutoring contribute positively to a child’s social life and intelligence. Through individualised learning experiences, children acquire a broad range of social skills, laying a foundation for both academic achievement and fulfilling social interactions.
