Good grades at school: Online tutoring
Why does my child have problems at school?
School problems can have various causes. Has your child changed schools? Has he or she been ill for a long time? Is the teacher going through the material too quickly? "When children have problems at school, they often have hardly any motivation for everyday school life. They can hardly get themselves to do their homework and make negative comments about school. This can be the first sign for parents to recognize their child's school problems," explains bidi Managing Director Christian Bohner. Problems often only become apparent when the child keeps coming home with poor grades. In the best case scenario, children tell their parents in good time if they can no longer keep up at school. If the child is very overwhelmed by the subject matter, in the worst case scenario they may refuse to do their homework or even attend school. To prevent this from happening, private tuition is a good way to close learning gaps in good time.
When is online tutoring useful?
However, organizing and regularly attending tutoring sessions presents challenges. Which tutor offers the required subjects? When is a suitable time, and where should the sessions take place? Who will supervise the child? How far is the journey, and what do parents do while they wait for their offspring? "Online tutoring offers the advantage that children are less bound by time constraints and can learn when it is most effective for them personally. In addition, you are not limited to a local selection of tutors, so every child is guaranteed to find the right learning partner for them," says Christian Bohner. Together with your child, you can look for the right place and the right time. This takes the pressure off everyday family life and saves long journeys, costs, and time. You decide when, where, and with which teacher your child learns. "We are very pleased that we can help relieve the burden on working parents and their children in these stressful times," explains Christian Keller, product manager at pme Familienservice.
