Whether you decide to choose North Coast Education Services or another company, you should be well-informed. You need to know just the facts!

HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT TUTORING? (IT MAY BE A MYTH.) LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS AND WE’LL ADDRESS IT IN AN UPCOMING POST!
Here are today’s three myths:
1. “TUTORS ARE ONLY FOR KIDS.”
High school students and adults benefit from tutoring, too! Whether you are trying to pass a college course, ace your MCATs, or prep for the SAT. Have you always wanted to learn Spanish? Or maybe you have a passion for photography and want to improve. There are tutors out there for any subject you can think of.
2. “SCHOOLS LOOK DOWN ON STUDENTS WHO HAVE A TUTOR.”
On the contrary, many schools look favorably on tutors. It shows that the student is committed to learning and wants to succeed. Some schools will even allow tutors to come in and work with students during school hours.
3. “GROUP TUTORING IS JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING.”
Group tutoring may seem like a good choice because it is generally more affordable. However, it is much more difficult to help individuals in a group setting. One-on-one tutoring provides the tutor with an opportunity to improve specific areas of weakness in a student. Group tutoring can help improve general skills, but it’s challenging to provide each student with individual assistance.
