Tuition Works

At the end of 2006 I ran into a mother of a Yr.9 boy, Ben, who is doing maths tuition with us. 

“How did he go? “ , I asked . She replied excitedly, 

“he came top .. in the Yr. 9 Advanced class at school ! ”  

I gave her a  ‘high 5’  and chuckled.  Through this year I had  witnessed  a good ‘average’ student’ evolve to someone who is displaying mastery over content.  

Ben’s  mother concluded, “he is so pleased with himself...” 

Tuition does not always lead to top position. But it does broaden and strengthen the knowledge  of  content.  Knowledge which transfers to better results. 

Often P.B. (personal best) results. AND it can change ( I see it all the time) a student who is failing to a pass student . 

Also for students tuition can lead to a permanent  positive self image about a subject.  Yes, I reflected on the words.. 
"Yes... he is so pleased with himself".  Yes,  tuition works.
