Why does Private English Tuition work so effectively? Today I asked Carole Berry, who regularly tutors students for GCSE, A level and Undergraduate levels why Independent English tutoring proves so beneficial for students.
Personal English Tuition at Tusitala is so much more than raising grades – it is about giving the student a unique teaching environment in which they can learn to ‘think’ more creatively and independently in the study of English. It is about giving the student the ability to fulfill their own ‘personal’ potential. Etc. Student-centred approach. Inspirational teaching.
Do you feel that students can develop their skills more rapidly in the one-to-one environment?
It provides a safe and secure environment in which to study. To feel comfortable asking questions and to some extent to be challenged and indeed, to challenge with reference to critical analysis.
Many thanks. Do you feel Private English Tuition allows a tutor to pick up on a student’s difficulties quite easily?
I believe that students can truly attain their full potential with personal tuition. In effect, Personal Tuition, not only gives them the wings, but teaches them to fly. It gives them a sense of confidence and the ability to believe that they are not only capable of achieving better grades, but also the skills needed to do better. Whilst, I love teaching English in the more formal setting of the classroom and seminar room, it is not always possible to pick up on an individual student’s difficulties or problems with their subject.
Alas, some students fall by the wayside because there just isn’t enough time for the teacher to give students that important individual attention. That is where, Personal Tuition comes into it’s own. A great deal can be gained in a one hour session with a student. All the creases can be ironed out. Personal Tuition fills in the gaps and provides a solid foundation in which to build on.

Looks so much better when written up!! It’s a superb way of writing…
I had 1:1 tuition with Janet a couple of years ago and without her I wouldn’t have got my A grade (I was down for a C) It really does help alot! Thanks Dr Lewison.

I was Dr Lewisons greatest ever student. Like it’s said on the homepage, I’m an erudite, not only because I have natural talent but also thanks to 1:1 tuition. Fusion of great minds. I would like to thank Dr Lewison as she has boosted my grades and taken my English to another level.
Take an opportunity for tuition, one hour may change your life forever.
Many thanks and welcomes,
