More parents are beginning to get the assistance of a homeschooling teacher to help their child succeed in school. There is also an increase in the number of resources in which parents can find homeschooling lessons and home tutoring for their children in local communities and on the internet. And the best part for your child is that colleges and universities have increased their interest in admitting homeschooling students!
Below are the top reasons why, if you’re a parent, you might want to consider using a homeschooling teacher:
1. Provides your child with the ability to receive help while taking the most challenging courses available to them:
Getting into a top college is a lot harder today than it was years ago! Spaces are limited; competition is fierce. Students must have transcripts that reflect their ability to challenge themselves. Yet, at the same time, they feel the pressure to get A’s in every class they take. It’s too risky to take a difficult class, only to receive an average, or worse, a failing grade. Students who are homeschooled, however, often have the ability to take the hardest classes at their own pace while working with both a teacher and a tutor who help them understand the material from start to finish.
The traditional student, on the other hand, must rely on whether the teacher for that particular class will be able to ensure that every student in class understands every lesson, every class, and will have the time to answer every question. And although there are a lot of fantastic teachers out there, we all know that there are a lot of ineffective ones out there as well. So where does that leave parents who are trying to help their child get into the college or university that child so desperately wants to attend? Often, they’re left with the fact that although their child may have the ability to excel in a tough course, they’re not sure whether they should risk that the student might struggle so much that they receive a bad grade. And they’ve been told by guidance and college counselors and other parents who’ve been through the college admissions process that colleges are definitely not looking for students who choose to only take the safest classes.
What a lot of people don’t know is that a student who is receiving homeschooling lessons has the ability to take the most difficult classes available to them, even sometimes at their local community college, and under one-on-one guidance and home tutoring of a teacher or tutor.
2. The Homeschooling Teacher has the ability to invest more time into your child’s education:
Although a homeschooling teacher typically has a set of students with whom he or she is working, their focus is on only one student at a time. This allows parents the ability to communicate regularly with a homeschooling teacher about their child’s progress.
Rarely do homeschooling students complain of a lack of an ability to socialize and “hang out” with kids their age.
Parents are also often pleasantly surprised at just how much the homeschooling teacher and tutor are dedicated to and invested in their child’s success, much more than a teacher at a traditional school who usually has over a hundred students with a hundred set of parents to help every day.
3. There is more direct interaction between parent and teacher:
What’s more, a homeschooling teacher and tutor can help the parent tailor the course, including the homeschooling lessons, to better fit the child’s needs and learning style. And of course, if a parent feels as though the homeschooling teacher is not effectively helping their child, the parent is free to change teachers. Of course, this is not so easy to do at a traditional school!
4. Homeschooling students still have the ability to socialize with other students their age:
It is true that students need time to socialize with others their age. Yet, many homeschoolers are involved in athletic clubs, social organizations, and many extracurricular activities available to them in the community, such as theatre, dance troupes. And rarely do homeschooling students complain of a lack of an ability to socialize and “hang out” with kids their age.
There are just too many ways outside of the traditional classroom to do this. Many students also find that outside of their home tutoring, they have opportunities available to them to expand their learning through trips to museums, parks, and other venues, which helps to make them well-rounded active learners.
