Unlock Your Ability To Help Your Child

Many parents are missing an important trick... for your child's sake, make sure you are not one of them.

The fact is, ALL children CAN succeed in learning, it's what YOU DO that makes the difference. Any teacher will tell you, when parents are engaged in their young child's learning the results are always positive and sometimes spectacular.

The secret is to bring informal learning into your home through fun activities and play. This can transform your child into an excellent (and happy) learner.

Sadly, parents are increasingly limiting their role to paying for private tuition in an attempt to help their children pass school entrance exams. Their expectation is that this alone will ensure success - this is a mistake.

Is it difficult to help your child succeed? No, is the surprising answer, especially using our many smart strategies, tips and tricks.

Don't Make Your Child Rely on Private Tuition for Success

Through fun activities we'll tell you how you can help your child learn 'How to Learn', an often neglected skill. That's something most tutors won't focus on, instead they'll become the means by which your child learns.

We'll help you explain to your child the challenges to expect when they learn, what it takes to overcome them and show you fun ways to improve these skills.

Your child's early years are unique, they are naturally learning at an incredible rate through through discovery and play. Our methods develop this natural skill and will enhance your child's ability to learn in a classroom environment as well as help them become a 'self-sufficient learner'.

The problem of using private tutors so early in a child's education is that it can create an unnecessary dependency that your child learns to rely on.

What will your child do when faced with their next learning challenge? Will you find another tutor? How many subjects can you afford to pay a tutor for? How will they cope with learning in secondary school, university or even a job?

Remember the real goal to is not to just prepare your child for passing an exam. Instead nurture confident, happy, self-sufficient learners that are prepared for the challenges in education and beyond... That's our aim for your child.

Tutors start at £15 per hour, but the average cost of an experienced tutor is around £20 per hour.

Not every family can afford this expense. Some families are even forced to choose between their children and decide which child gets the tuition they can afford.

EasyStreetLearning our approach is considerably cheaper, each Learning Track is ONLY £15 PER YEAR.

How To Best Use Tutors To Help Your Child

We are not against using tutors, but we think the trend of leaving it all to tutors can leave young children disadvantaged.

One hour of tuition a week, will not replace the help you can give your child. With EasyStreetLearning, 15 minutes a day following our learning activities over one week, is almost two hours of valuable learning time for your child.

This is an important factor parents don't consider - it's important young children need to learn 'How to Learn'. Think about this analogy -

You can use a personal trainer to help you loose weight and become fit. However you could become dependent on having a personal trainer to keep your weight down.

Another way is for you to learn about what you should eat and how you can exercise yourself. This way you'll have the skills to keep your own weight under control.

If you are using a private tutor to help your child gain entry into a selective school, we hope you see the importance of your contribution to your child's learning success too. This will help your child's chances for exam success.

Your Private Tutor Checklist

If you decide to choose a tutor, use these ideas to help you choose correctly.

As you might expect, some tutors are better than others. A recommendation from another parent is a good way to choose a suitable private tutor.

Alternatively, a there could be a new graduate who is looking to earn some extra money as a private tutor who could suit your child's character well.

When choosing a private tutor your should consider all of the following -

  • CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check status - essential for private tutors,
  • hourly rates,
  • qualifications,
  • approach to tutoring,
  • references,
  • available times for tuition and,
  • location where the tuition will take place.

You should always ensure you see evidence of the tutor's qualifications and CRB certificate on the first lesson or before.

Just like a good plumber, a good private tutor will be in demand so you may need to make inquiries in advance of when you'll need them.

If possible see a range of private tutors.

Try and arrange a trial session with your perspective private tutor and see for yourself how the session goes. Afterwards, ask you child what they thought about the private tutor.

Use all this information to decide which private tutor you will use.
