Benefits of one-on-one teaching

Choosing a school for your child can be a daunting task, especially when you consider the influence that choice will have on your child's future.  Most parents think they have to choose either public, private, or online education.  However there is an alternative to these choices that could lead to your child growing by leaps and bounds this year.  One teaching method that is extremely beneficial for many children is one-on-one in-person teaching.  Why is one-on-one education so important to some children?  Read on to find out:

Reason 1: Strong student-teacher relationship

Trust between any two people must be earned and not just expected.  Many adults believe that children should just give their trust to teachers but we at PHC disagree.  We strongly believe that children must see that their teacher is a member of their team who is rooting for their victory.  When a child can feel comfortable with a teacher then he or she will make greater strides in education.  Trust is earned by our teachers with every interaction.  PHC's teachers will show your child honesty and compassion from day one.  For students who have had bad experiences with other schools this is exactly what is  needed to go from being a struggling, apathetic learner to an enthusiastic student who enjoys learning!

Reason 2:  Adaptive to learning style and special needs

One-on-one in-person education allows your child's teacher to tailor lessons to fit any learning style or special needs.  In traditional public and private schools most teaching is geared toward students who learn either through listening, reading, or writing.  This leaves many children behind not because they can't do the work but because they can't learn the way they're being taught.  With one-on-one education provided by experienced professionals all student needs can be addressed so no child gets left behind.  There are many theories of learning styles that teachers know about but are often unable to apply in a classroom setting.  When a teacher only has one student then suddenly there are many choices for how a lesson can be taught, especially if that teacher has experience working with other children who have had the same experiences.  Additionally, when students have special needs, either EBD or LD, there are limited interventions that traditional schools can offer.  With one-on-one education the teacher has time to learn about special needs in general and your child's needs specifically and adapt lessons to best benefit your child.

Reason 3: Personalized curriculum

When your child is taught one-on-one and in-person then every piece of curriculum is chosen specifically for him or her.  Every assignment can be tailored to your child's needs, interests, and abilities.  No child can fall behind in a one-on-one environment because the teacher won't move on unless their student fully understands a concept.  If your child is having a difficult day in a one-on-one school environment then the teacher can easily improvise a new lesson with ease, unlike at a traditional school where teachers have one lesson that must be followed for the day.  With the ability to work with your child's interests, teachers are able to show more real-world application activities for their students and introduce critical thinking skills that turn struggling students into life-long learners.  Because of these unique teaching techniques PHC's teachers can use we rarely hear the question, "When am I ever going to use this?"
