🌟 Small Tutoring Services Versus Large Tutoring Centres

Posted by

A common enough question posed by potential clients is: Why choose M&M Eduboost over a well known national agency? What are the advantages of a small company over a large one?

Choosing a small, local tutoring service for your child instead of large national organisation can offer several advantages, depending on your priorities. Benefits include:

Personalised Attention and Flexibility

Tailored Learning: Small services like M&M Eduboost typically offer highly customised lessons based on the child’s exact needs, pace, and interests, rather than following a set curriculum.

Flexible Scheduling: They are often more willing to adjust times, lesson frequency, or focus areas based on family or school demands.

Direct Relationship with the Tutor

Consistent Tutor: With bespoke services like M&M Eduboost, clients deal with the same person every session, allowing for stronger rapport, trust, and consistency in teaching approach.

Better Communication: You often have direct contact with the tutor (not admin staff), which makes feedback and updates more immediate and meaningful.

Local Insight and Connection

Understanding Local: Many tutors are current or former teachers who understand the specific curriculum and expectations of local schools.

Community Focused: Tutors in these smaller organisations are often more invested in their reputation within the local community and can build long-term relationships with families.

Value for Money

No Franchise Fees: Services like M&M Eduboost don’t have to cover the overheads of a corporate brand, so pricing can be more competitive for the same — or better — quality.

No Lock-In Contracts: Many smaller operators offer flexible terms and don’t require prepaid packages or long-term commitments.

Customised Learning Environment

One-on-One or Small Group Focus: Unlike centre-based models with rotating students, sole traders can offer sessions in quiet home settings, online, or even at your home, which can be more comfortable and productive for some students.

A small, local and bespoke tutoring service is ideal if you value individualised learning, flexibility, consistency, and a more personal touch. Larger national services offer structure and brand trust, but often at the cost of flexibility, personalisation, and price.
