Reason #4 : Self esteem and confidence.
Maybe you will be helping a young student who has low self-esteem after receiving a few less than stellar grades during the school year. Maybe she is discouraged after finding out that summer school is needed. Maybe you are working with a student who feels like he just "can't do it," or feels that the classes are way too difficult. Perhaps you are dealing with a student who is lacking confidence after not doing well on an exam. Or maybe you are working with a young scholar who is battling low self-esteem that stems from social situations at school.
In any case, tutoring will help!
Kids often need a helpful self-esteem boost in the form of achievements and academic experience, and tutoring is an exemplary way or providing that. I have worked with young students who, at the beginning of our tutoring sessions, were nervous, apprehensive about school, scared of giving presentations, ridicules his or her own flaws, petrified by exams, etc.
By the end of the first month of tutoring, each and every one of these students was feeling confident, able, proud of his or her accomplishments, enthusiastic, and ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming semester.
It is a fantastic feeling as a tutor to take your tutee from apprehensive student, to enthusiastic scholar who is ready to take on the world!
