Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and succeed — but not all learning environments are created equal. While the classroom is where most learning begins, tutoring can offer the boost, support, or challenge that some students need to truly thrive.
So, what’s the difference between the two — and when does tutoring make sense?
🏫 The Classroom: A Starting Point for Everyone
In school, teachers work hard to deliver curriculum to large groups of students, each with different strengths, learning styles, and attention spans. Classrooms are great for:
- Social learning and collaboration
- Broad exposure to key subjects
- Developing resilience and routine
But with 20–30 students in a room, it’s nearly impossible for every student to receive one-on-one attention when they need it most.
📚 Tutoring: Focused, Flexible, and Personalised
Tutoring is about meeting a student where they’re at — whether they’re struggling, coasting, or ready for extension. It offers:
- A learning pace tailored to the student
- Immediate feedback and correction
- A safe space to ask questions
- Skills-building in confidence, organisation, and mindset
In a tutoring session, the focus is 100% on your child — their learning style, their pace, their goals.
🤝 Working Together, Not Against Each Other
Tutoring doesn’t replace classroom learning — it enhances it. In fact, when done well, tutoring helps students get more out of their classroom experiences. They feel more confident participating, more prepared for assessments, and more in control of their own learning.
🎯 When Should You Consider Tutoring?
- Your child is falling behind in core subjects like English or Maths
- They’ve lost confidence or motivation
- Homework is becoming a battle
- You want to extend or challenge them beyond school level
- You’re preparing for NAPLAN, selective entry, or other exams
