You may think that tuition programmes are only for competitive students, and that it may not be necessary for your child studying in the IB program. However, there are many benefits that your child can get from attending IB tuition. Although students in IB typically pursue electives and interests outside of their curriculum, it may be good to get a head start with future topics with some tuition so that your child is well prepared. Here are some reasons why IB students should go for tuition,.

Get a head start with future topics

Going through the content before a new school semester starts gives students the ability to get an idea of the new syllabus that they will be learning. As IB programs are less structured, it may be good to have a teaser of what is to come so your child is not stressed out. 

It can also give students a long time to learn and master the content for the semester. As students have already covered these future topics before in tuition, they would not have to worry about learning. Instead, they could use their precious time to work on other levels of complex learning, like applying and analysing what they have learnt. 

Receive targeted guidance for coursework

Some schools may allocate coursework for students to work on as part of their curriculum. Although they have lessons during their curriculum to work on, it is very different from regular assignments as it requires a lot of research and analytical thinking. Because of this, many students may feel overwhelmed with their coursework and need to be educated appropriately to begin their coursework independently. Students' common problems when doing their coursework could be better set questions and papers. However, having a tutor can easily prevent these problems.

Achieve better grades

More confidence and guidance can prevent your child from performing poorly in certain subjects. Tutors are not only there to help with academic guidance but can also help to instil the right mindset and improve your child's productivity while studying. 

Furthermore, tutors can prepare students for exams better by providing them with tips and reviews on their performances in their weak areas of study. Some students fear taking exams or tests, and tutors can provide progressive tasks to build their confidence in their weaker areas so that they are well-prepared for their examinations. 

Conclusion

The benefits of enrolling your child on a tuition programme are aplenty. Spreading the school work over a longer duration can also reduce their stress and enable them to perform better in school. If you realise that your child needs more guidance in their coursework or is easily stressed out, it may be time to send them for tuition classes.
