Is it wrong to outsource a child’s learning to achieve in the classroom?

In 21st century living we have experienced innovative ideas and technological advancements to make our everyday lives easier, so why is it that, as parents, we have never been busier?

It feels that, as the goalposts have moved over the years, we are expected to succeed in all aspects of our lives. Meeting the high expectations in everything can feel like an impossible task, and can lead to stress for you and the whole family if these are not met.  

As a result of this pressure, we are increasingly living in a service society.  More and more families are outsourcing different aspects of their lives, such as housework, ironing, dog walking, online shopping and nursery care. The same can be said for education, with more and more parents relying on tutors to support their child’s education outside of the classroom.

The reasons for parents seeking tuition outside of the classroom are mixed.

PARENTS’ COMMENTS:

“With all the targets teachers have to reach, is there enough individual time to support each pupil?”

“I don’t have the knowledge or confidence to know that what I’m teaching my child is correct.”

“I can’t keep my child engaged in what they’re doing.”

“I want to support my child at home with their education, but I don’t have the time because of work commitments.”

These are all valid reasons, and they can be hard for parents to admit, but there is no shame. We all want the best for our children’s education. This is why our tuition centres exist, to support parents who want the best education for their child.

What can you expect from our tuition centres? 

   

Our experienced tutors are all qualified teachers and have also been trained to deliver the AE Tuition programme. The teachers are working/have worked in the teaching profession and know the national curriculum in detail. Each class of 21-25 children has a teacher, two supervisors and eight classroom assistants. This means we can offer one-to-one assistance for every child, when needed in the class.

Our 11+, SATs and scholarship courses are individually designed to teach a solid foundation of the subjects and give children the expertise and confidence to pass their exams.

 

Take action!

Parents do not have to feel alone or worried about whether school is enough for their child to reach their full potential. Extra tuition in a classroom environment is the ideal setting for a child to excel. Children feel supported throughout the AE Tuition programmes and are given all the tools needed to improve in their education.

There is no shame in asking for help when it comes to your child’s education. Parents should not be expected to have all the answers, especially with 21st century living getting in the way. We are here to enrich children’s education, for exam success and, most importantly, for their future.

Thinking about enrolling on a course? Is there a concern that is stopping you?

I couldn't enrol on the session I wanted for my child
We understand that family schedules can be hectic so it can be challenging to find the perfect group for your child to attend their weekly sessions. We recommend enrolling in a group that best fits your current schedule. This way, you can join waiting lists for any fully booked sessions. If a place becomes available in a group you're waitlisted for, we will contact you directly to see if you would like your child to switch groups.
Courses are too expensive
We understand that paying for the course in full can be challenging. That's why we offer interest-free standing order payments, allowing you to spread the cost over monthly instalments throughout the duration of the course.
There isn't a tuition centre near me
We're delighted that parents want to enrol their child nationwide and even worldwide on our courses. This is why we offer remote courses for our pupils to login to their weekly sessions from anywhere.

It doesn't matter if a child is enrolled on a remote course or a classroom-based course, our methodology stays the same. Pupils who attend our remote-learning courses will experience the same high standard of tuition, provided by experienced, UK-qualified teachers who have also been trained to deliver AE Tuition's specialised programmes.
I'm concerned that there will be too much work for my child
We understand that parents may be concerned about their child's workload. Please be reassured we are here to support both you and your child every step of the way. We take pride in our unique partnership between pupils, parents and teachers, which ensures open communication. If you ever feel that your child is struggling, we strongly encourage you to speak with their teacher or a member of our teaching team as soon as possible so that we can address the issue immediately.
