Who needs a tutor for economics?

Everyone can benefit from a tutor but the fact of the matter is that there are some who will benefit more than others. Students who have falling grades, lack motivation or are struggling to keep up with the material during class and lectures all stand to gain more from a professional tutor. Tutors help students in many areas of their education, their confidence, their ability and even their skills which will stick with them for the rest of their lives. At the end of the day, the only person who truly knows if lessons are needed is the student themself.

The many benefits of a tutor

Tutors can be effective tools when selected correctly. Every tutor is different, every student has their own needs, and each tutor has their own unique strengths and weaknesses therefore it is very important to know what you need and what to look out for to make sure you get the most out of the following benefits. Tutors have the ability -that normal teachers do not have- to turn their students into independent learners. No one is born knowing how to study and work effectively but they can be taught. A good tutor ensures that their students aren’t relying on them or others for answers, instead, they can be relied on for genuine questions or difficulties. Tutors also create environments which are very useful for questions. It can often be daunting for students to interrupt class and answer questions in front of their entire course. Tutors are an excellent alternative as it is a one-to-one environment where there are fewer time limits and fewer potential sources of stress. These are but a few of the benefits but there are more.

What you need to prepare for economics

Economics is a difficult subject. There are many advanced concepts that cannot be simply learned, however, don’t worry if you do like memorization as there is a lot of that too! There is only one way to make sure that as a student, you’re prepared for whatever may come. Exam preparation is a key element for all Leaving Cert elements and many tutors specialise in preparing tutors for the Leaving Cert specifically. Answering the question that is asked can be quite tricky for students. More people than you’d expect read a question and immediately start writing before fully considering what they’re actually answering. Take your time, and make sure you know what concepts apply and what exactly the question demands. Practising is all the more effective when you have a tutor with you who can correct mistakes, inform best exam practices and so much more. Diagrams, for example, are easy to recreate and drawing is the easiest part of the diagram questions but students tend to lose marks during the explanation of the diagram, this takes more thought and precision which a tutor can help hone with you. Economics doesn't have to be frustrating and complex, a tutor will be able to practise with you and break down everything sufficiently enough for your understanding.

An environment to build discipline and focus

Courses, schools and universities are amazing places but sometimes they’re not what you need to work well. Lectures don’t check attendance, schools often have noisy, distracting and busy environments where it can be difficult to focus and at home maybe you associate that space with relaxation. Tutors offer a weekly or more often session where you are sat down in a quiet, comfortable environment where you are with a trained professional simply working away. These regular sessions increase responsibility, and discipline and ensure that even if you don’t study outside of your course, you get some productive work done with your tutor right at home in Cork.
