Individual tutoring is the method by which most of us home educate our children. It is also the most effective educational method!
Tutoring is a common method in homeschooling, and it is the most effective method ever devised. While working with an individual child, it is easy to tell whether the work is within the child’s ability….
The power and efficiency of tutoring is that the parent follows the child’s ability and interest rather than following a curriculum plan with its formula for learning skills in a certain order.
Ruth Beechick, A Biblical Home Education
Dr. Beechick frequently went into detail on why tutoring was the best method of educating and how home educators could use tutoring in a one-on-one mentoring situation.
All kinds of one-on-one tutoring is strong learning and efficient teaching. It doesn’t
waste time on unnecessary skills or topics as might happen to the child in a
classroom. This is a major reason that homeschooled children do so well
academically.
