Well, Not Necessarily…

Consider the downsides of the traditional classroom:

Teachers monopolize the learning process

Students often rely on rote memorization to learnkey concepts

Threats of punishment might be used as “motivation”

Class activity is limited or minimal

Lessons answer the “what,” but not the“why”

Lack of creativity

The Cold, Hard Facts

If you compare U.S. student achievement to that of students worldwide, the results are staggering:

According to a 2012 report from the Harvard Program on Education Policy and Government that explored U.S. and international trends in student performance, the U.S. fell directly in the middle of the countries studied. Among the top performing countries? Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea.

The U.S. also falls close to the middle of the 65 nations surveyed in a study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that focuses on test scores.

What makes U.S. students’ international peers more successful?

Could One-to-One Tutoring Improve Academic Performance?

• Supplemental tutoring is a cultural norm in Asian countries, and many students benefit from the opportunity.

Revered Education Psychologist Benjamin Bloom Thought So

The University of Chicago professor’s research revealed that students who received supplemental, one-to-one tutoring performed better than 98 percent of their peers in the same traditional classroom.

Just What is it About Tutoring that Leads to Success?Bloom said it is “the constant feedback, correction, and reinforcement in one-to-one tutoring” relationships.

Plus, tutors bring a lot of other positive attributes to

the table.
