If I had received consistent private, 1 on 1 in-home tutoring, there is no telling what an amazing success I would be today.

As a teacher, the downfalls of teaching 40 students at one time is blatantly obvious - you can lecture to the masses, but you can not provide 1 on 1 support to all of your students in the class every day. For all you math wizards out there, 50 minute classes, 40 students per class, = 1.25 minutes per student. However, you don't get 50 full minutes of instruction. How about roll call, handing in homework, paperwork shuffling, management issues, etc. You are lucky if you get 45 seconds of teaching per student.

So how do teachers work around this problem? Simple. They preach and lecture to the masses. The teacher's hope is that enough students understand the process of various problems, and that they are able to assist their fellow classmates. However, even the few students that "understand" the Chemistry or Physics content from class, most just understand the process rather than the concept. Not only that, they are not professional teachers and really have no experience or expertise in training and teaching others. This is a sad case of the blind leading the blind.

If a student has an expert tutor watching his every process and move when working on problems, there is so much help that can be bestowed upon the student. The one-on-one environment allows the teacher to correct and modify every single process the student makes. Not only can you affect his learning for the specific class, but our tutors, skilled and experienced tutors, are able to modify the student's way of thinking, way of organizing, and way of approaching problems which will yield benefits that will last for the rest of the student's academic career.

Having a private mentor with you all the time is not inexpensive. How could it be? Not only is it like a personal assistant, but it's an expert in a certain field. Although private tutoring can become costly, it is no where near the expenses of a private school, which offers something of much less value than private tutoring.

Not all private tutoring is created equal. Students teaching students is very common, however Tried & True Tutoring does not employ anyone who doesn't have a college degree, or working on a degree from a prestigious university. Tried and True Tutoring does not employ anyone without tutoring experience. Tried and True Tutoring does not employ unreliable, immature tutors. Tried and True Tutoring goes through a rigorous process to select only the cream of the crop; and even after that, we rigorously train each and every one of our tutors. I always tell my tutors, "If you can learn to teach like me, we will both be extremely successful".

To increase your student's confidence, skill level, organizational skills, grades, college acceptance letters, and anything else related to academic success, then go with a Tried and True tutor. Their skill and experience will be evident during the first session, as well as every subsequent session. Our tutors will take your academic skill and success to new heights. Listen, if you need basic homework help or a few last minute questions, then maybe you can can get the correct answers from an inexperienced tutor who knows the content, but if you are really trying to change your future, and bring your success to heights you've never thought possible - go with Tried and True Tutoring. Don't waste your money on a inexperienced tutor - invest in a professional tutor - invest in your future. Visit www.triedandtruetutoring.com for more information.
