Does anyone use home tutoring for their children and how does it work?

Answer 1

As an ex-secondary school teacher, tutor and trainer. I home tutored my son. I found it far more effective for his needs. Homeschooling requires quite a lot of work, effort, thought and resources. I have a blog that is just devoted to homeschooling, how to start, your reasons for starting and my reasons for starting.

You can access my website at http://lec23.blogspot.com, or just put lec23:blogspot in your web browser.

You could also access another website Families.com, and type in homeschooling in the search box, this will give you many posts from experienced homeschoolers on how they started, why and all the practicalities and benefits. Their website is:

Good luck with your decision and research.

The problem I see with home tutoring today is that parents put their kids on the internet and let them surf and chat all day and they call it home schooling when in fact they are doing little more except making themselves available to sexual predators full-time. These kids will often chat online and brag about how they do nothing and how they have learned absolutely nothing.
You need to learn what they will need to know when they get to college and teach them that. What are your lesson plans? If they express an interest in a particular field, how will you go about giving them the learning experience they need to go do that when they are 18? Telling them to go google a keyword is not going to cut it. I'm not sure if money is an issue, but a private tutor at least part time would probably be well worth it. You can also look for tutors who will be willing to design a lesson plan for home schooling for their particular interests for a negotiated flat fee. I would recomend checking back with them from time to time.

When I first learned about Home Schooling I decided that is what I would do if I ever had children of my own. I did, and it has been great. Easy on me, and easy on the kids. No pressure, fun and enlightening. If you are considering it, give it a go, if you don't like it, or the kids don't like it, you can always request that the school take over.

Answer 4

I'm a home tutor and have had much success.I only accept keen pupils who are willing to work but do not do well in a class situation. One to one teaching will always be effective.

Answer 7

My daughter has. She went to the school and they gave her a course for home schooling. The child stayed in it for two years. She followed the curriculum and turned in her child's paper work and tests to the school for the child's credit. She later decided the child needed to be in public school and enrolled her. This child fared better in public school as a result of her home schooling foundation and is a straight A student. In H.S. she attends a private school due to the public H.S. being undesirable for many reasons.

Answer 8

as much as i know i think home tutoring is a waste of time because students do more good when they learn to take care of their own studies rather then depending on others.this also makes them to lose confidence in them.

good luck-
