A student who is new to tuition may expect the experience of working with a tutor to be the same as being taught at school. This need not be the case, and I believe that this SHOULD NOT be the case. One to one tuition allows for far more effective teaching practices.
A Mathematics tutor can start their teaching of a topic in the right place and at the right level for a particular student. Examples and exercises can be specifically chosen or constructed. In the classroom, all students need to be taught the same.
A Mathematics tutor with a deep knowledge and experience of the subject can approach a topic in different ways if neccessary. Pupils do not think exactly alike or have developed the same understanding of Mathematics. A good tutor can identify that and modify their teaching accordingly.
During tuition, pupils can ask questions at any stage, and these questions can be resolved completely to the students' satisfaction before moving on. In the classroom, there is less opportunity to achieve this.
