One-to-One (1:1) Tuition
When choosing your students for one-to-one tuition, we've found it's helpful to think about:
Who will benefit most from the extra support? - You may have a pupil in mind who is struggling to keep up with their peers. You may also have those pupils who just need that extra push to reach the very top of the class.
Who will engage best with this initiative? - Pupils who attend each lesson and are open to building a relationship with their new tutor will benefit most from their MyTutor lessons. We would advise steering away from students with significant behavioural issues, as we find they often struggle to engage with the programme.
Group (3:1) Tuition
The same considerations apply when choosing pupils for three-to-one MyTutor lessons, but there are a few extra things to consider when you’re deciding on groups.
Pupil Premium eligibility only qualifies for group tuition
Make sure pupils grouped together are all working at a similar level
Grouping best friends together can disrupt focus on the lesson, so it’s important to keep this in mind.
Ultimately, you know your pupils best, and we hope that all pupils will enjoy and benefit from sessions with our tutors!
Can MyTutor work with pupils with EAL/SEND needs?
Many pupils with EAL/SEND needs can benefit from having MyTutor lessons with us!
Our tutors compulsory training programme covers the basic principles of supporting pupils with SEND, however, as our tutors are not qualified teachers, MyTutor lessons may not be suitable for all pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
We would encourage you think about the specific needs of your pupil and to add any additional information to your Pupil Details form which may be helpful for their tutor to know in advance.
If you're unsure please speak with your Relationship Manager to see if we'd be a good fit for your pupil!
Please make sure your pupil has given you permission to share the details of their SEND needs with us.
