Research
suggests that quality tutoring can benefit students in a number of ways,
including:
1.
Improving student work habits. By building on the learning that takes place
during the school day, tutoring can help students improve planning, organizing
and the way they approach learning, projects and assignments.
2.
Personalization. Since instruction is delivered individually or in small
groups, tutoring provides for immediacy of feedback. Techno Tutor requires the
development of an Individual Student Learning Plan that builds on student
strengths at their individual learning pace.
3. More
time-on-task. Tutoring allows students to receive additional help and
reinforcement for learning skills and provides additional opportunities to practice
the application of information.
4.
Meeting specific student needs. Tutoring can offer students individual
attention to help them learn in different and perhaps more effective ways
individually versus a group environment. A tutoring program also provides an
additional academic interaction focused on the individual student.

5.
Reducing non-productive or risky behaviors. Tutoring offers students a safe,
supportive environment after school and can help them make productive use of
their time. The negative effects of television and video games can be reduced
if a child gets in the habit of studying from a young age.

Improving social and behavioral skills. Tutoring programs can support students
develop confidence that helps them in the classroom. They can become better
communicators, make positive social and behavioral adjustments, form better
relations with peers, and exercise more effective conflict-resolution
strategies.
7.Increased
ability to manage one's own learning. As competency grows, confidence in
academic performance increases. This is often seen in a positive shift in
attitude toward the content area and school in general.
Techno
Tutor provides a consultation to parents to showcase the great effects of the
program. Parents are the experts on the needs of their children and this
program seems to be a very effective and popular option. When a school is underper
forming, parents have the right to seek additional educational support for
their child.
