What does a tutor do?

Tutors are common for secondary and university-level students, if you are/were a student you probably know someone who has taken tutoring lessons. However, it might not be fully clear what the difference is between a tutor and a teacher or why getting a tutor is such a good idea as it is. In Drogheda alone there are 52 tutors ready to take on new students but what are they doing? Well, firstly tutors are excellent helpers with homework assignments. They don’t simply just do the work themselves, instead, they guide the student through the questions, answer any potential questions and they can explain difficult-to-grasp concepts more succinctly so that the student will be able to do better themselves the next time. In essence, the job of a tutor is to enhance self-directed learning. A support system is designed for the specifications of the student, can help with additional explanations, provide alternative notes, dive deeper into subjects that the teacher doesn’t have time for and suggest study strategies.

Tutors offer a wide range of grinds that can benefit any student of any subject of any level. Many students, especially in the Junior and Leaving Cert, struggle with consistency but sessions with a tutor provide that consistency. The regular sessions provide a time every week to simply sit down and get some work done, with the help of a supervising tutor. Study and exam prep involve a lot of repetition and practice so that means these classes really help to put in consistent and productive work which is necessary for any students wishing to do well in the Leaving Cert.
