Home Tutoring for History Subjects

Learning and understanding history can be difficult for many school students. History involves remembering and recalling important dates and events as well as being able to translate those facts clearly on paper. Some students have problems being able to memorise and then recall the vast numbers of dates and important historical facts they need, while others find it hard to write well enough to make the facts they know understandable and easy to read. That’s where one-on-one home tutoring in history can be invaluable.

Ancient and Modern History and Everything in Between

While younger students usually only study major historical events and need to recall appropriate dates and the key factors involved, older students need to grasp more in-depth concepts involving the major players, the reasons why that particular event occurred and the historical significance of the outcome.

Indeed, our world is shaped by both ancient and modern history so it is an important and very relevant part of the curriculum. For these reasons, modern and/or ancient history are core subjects in the majority of schools throughout Australia. To understand and put into perspective the major events that occur around the world on an almost daily basis, students need to have a thorough grounding in previous significant historical factors that may well have influenced today’s newsworthy stories. Therefore, individual tutoring for students who struggle with history subjects is a must.

Improving your World History Knowledge

With class sizes increasing every year and peer pressure preventing kids from asking questions or admitting they’re struggling, students who find themselves falling behind get caught up in a vicious cycle where they gradually fall further behind. Add to that the pressure our school teachers have to get the required curriculum to their students within a restricted time frame, and the result is school children who can’t cope and eventually give up.

The solution is simple. Home tutoring by a recognised and well respected facility like Power Coaching College enables your child to learn at their own speed in the safe and comfortable surrounds of their own home. In addition, the one-on-one coaching allows each student to ask as many questions as they want without fear of retribution by classmates.

Home tutoring in all facets of history is specifically designed to cater to each student’s needs and may cover only one area where the student needs support or may encompass a broad range of topics within ancient and modern history. Numerous studies have shown that school children learn faster and retain information longer when they feel secure and aren’t distracted by classroom influences.

Australian and Aboriginal History

As early as Grade 1 students start learning about the traditional and cultural influences of Australian and Aboriginal history and how they impact today’s society and how we live. The importance of gaining an understanding of Australian history together with the influence Aboriginal history has had can’t be understated. The knowledge we gain from learning about our history helps us move ahead; it’s important to remember that today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders so the more we comprehend the fundamentals that shaped our past, the greater our influence will be in forging a strong and positive future.

Mathematics is one of those subjects that students either excel at or find as difficult as learning a foreign language. The ability of the school teacher to interpret and communicate the basics of maths in a way students understand also plays an important role in how well children deal with the subject.

Mathematics Can Be Cool for Kids

Maths is fun if students know how to play with the underlying foundations that apply to mathematics. Basic maths problems like addition, subtraction, multiplication and subdivision apply to many facets of daily life, so knowledge of these subjects is fundamental to a student’s life development skills.

Fun maths games make it easier to grasp the concepts of mathematics for younger students and a number of computer programs and games are available to help kids learn in a less formal way. You can find some cool maths quizzes on this website that you can start with.

One of the biggest drawbacks for students trying to cope with maths is the increasing size of school classes and the vast amount of material teachers have to get through in a school year. Frequently we find that students who are struggling with maths fall even further behind because they aren’t given enough time during class or feel too shy or intimidated to ask questions.

This has a compounding effect because kids who need that extra time or personal attention to help them learn maths basics are left in the dark as the class moves forward and tackles more complex mathematical problems. What can often be a simple concept that the student could understand with just a little more time and attention leads to all sorts of complications; socially, psychologically and educationally.

The solution is often as simple as one-on-one tutoring.

Learning Fractions and Multiplication at Home

A maths tutor who takes the time to focus on each child’s particular area of learning requirements can produce amazing results. When the student feels comfortable and relaxed they are much better equipped to absorb information. Specially trained tutors like those available at Power Coaching College come to your homes at times that are convenient for the whole family. In addition, the tutors focus specifically on each student’s problem areas.

So, whether the problem is fractions, multiplication, algebra, or a combination of subjects, the tutor works one-on-one with the student to help them. With no classroom distractions and no peer pressure, your child is able to build confidence and trust and most importantly, an understanding of the areas they are struggling with in the class room.

Even Algebra Can Be Fun

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that many students struggle with, but once the underlying principles of algebraic equations are understood, it opens up a whole new area of learning. Algebra helps students develop skills in logic, problem solving, repeating and non-repeating patterns and reasoning and an understanding of algebra is essential to progress to higher maths.

Many textbooks concentrate on the formulas and rules that apply to algebra and overlook the fact that algebra can take real life situations, turn them into equations and then solve them. By using real life examples to create an equation that has a solution, students can have fun with algebra. Maths tutors like those at Power Coaching College, who look beyond the dry formulaic approach to algebra have been shown to produce much better results from their students.

English is one of the most difficult subjects to learn, particularly for those who generally struggle with the numerous anomalies of English grammar and for those students whose first language is not English.

With class sizes growing each year, students can easily fall through the cracks in the system and find themselves getting farther behind because they are either too shy or too embarrassed to ask for help. The class room can be an intimidating place for students learning English, or any subject for that matter, when they are experiencing difficulties and surrounded by their peers.

The end result can be a continual loss of confidence and a steady decline in overall performance that carries over into future years because the student has been unable to grasp the basic concepts required to learn English.

The most effective and successful solution for students struggling with English teaching is one-on-one tutoring at home.

Teaching English in your home improves results!

Power Coaching College offers school students studying English, personalised one-on-one tutoring in the safety and comfort of your own home. Many years of experience have shown that students respond and learn with more confidence when they are not distracted by the various stimuli in the class room environment.

The English teaching program is individually designed to cater to each student’s needs and focuses on the areas where the tutor believes the most support is required. Because the tutor and student work as a team, a friendly rapport can develop over time which is potentially beneficial and constructive, particularly for students who are disadvantaged by large class room groups.

Private English tutoring is available for students from Kindergarten through to HSC levels and can be scheduled to fit in with the family’s timetable – afternoons, evenings or weekends.

English Grammar One Step at a Time

Most parents know that one of the most difficult concepts for students learning English is English grammar. After all, parents were once English students too!
The advantage of a private tutor is the personalised attention to the particular needs of each student. A tutor specialising in English grammar can take the time to focus on this area if it is a problem for the student and enable the student to work at their own pace without feeling intimidated. A patient, responsible tutor helps build knowledge while at the same time increasing confidence in each of their students.

Learning English as a Second Language – ESL

There are an increasingly large number of students with English as their second language, often with only a limited knowledge of the English language. These students regularly become the spokesperson for the entire family so have the added burden of having to learn and speak English in the shortest possible time. In the overcrowded public school system, this can place enormous strain on students who aren’t familiar with their new and seemingly hostile environment.

A tutor specialising in teaching English as a second language is the optimum solution. The dedicated English language tutors at Power Coaching College are experienced in this area and understand the special demands placed on children from immigrant families.

By working on a one-on-one basis and focusing on the particular needs of each student, a qualified English tutor from Power Coaching College can build knowledge, confidence and the skills necessary for the student to grasp the English language and English grammar as quickly as possible.

Thanks for finding such a great tutor for our son. Jen was able to motivate him, give him confidence in what he could do and show him that he was able to write answers to questions and use the same techniques in other subjects. That was what he really needed. He was happy to go back to her week after week. Although we don’t yet know Timothy’s results, we are happy with the wonderful help he received from Jen.

She did a great job.

Thank you – Yvonne, Maianbar, December 2009

Good Morning,

Thank you for phoning about Rosiene’s HSC results. She feels pleased with her marks and especially the Science mark of 83%. This was an increase of 20 marks above what she had been achieving in class. We feel this could not have happened without the extra tutoring and would like to thank you and thank Daniel for the excellent teaching and dedication shown during this time. I am not aware of anyone at this stage needing coaching but if I hear of someone, I will certainly forward your name to them.

Thanks again,

Kind regards

Rose
