I find that being an  English tutor  one-to-one helps to establish a close rapport between the tutor and student, enabling a much more meaningful and beneficial relationship to develop than in a normal classroom environment. Many students often feel that in an average class of twenty to thirty students that they are simply just another face in the crowd and cannot receive the personal attention that they require.   Some of these problems can also be overcome by using an Education Consultant .

Spending even an hour each week one-to-one with a student allows the tutor to identify the key academic strengths and weaknesses that are unique to each child. Providing a personal and trusting setting with the student often allows students to honestly voice their concerns and to share the inevitable stress many encounter when taking important exams.  Such as the SAT .

 The majority of international schools in Hong Kong have changed from the A-Level system to adopting the International Baccalaureate IB system, in the hope of encouraging students to be more well-rounded and to have a greater appreciation of learning and of other cultures.   Learning a language with a language specialist such as a French tutor  can also help this area. Certainly, requiring students to fulfill 150 hours of “creativity, action and service” (CAS) enables many students to help those less fortunate than themselves.   More information can be found about this area in ITS school news  blog

Students at international schools in Hong Kong Are aiming for an International Education  tend to have a greater appreciation and understanding of other cultures, through the huge variety of nationalities attending international schools. Nevertheless, academically speaking, many students find the IB system to be very demanding and report feeling unsure of how to fulfill the necessary requirements.  ITS can also help students prepare for the IELTS exam.

Many students come to ITS Tutorial School because they feel overburdened with homework and balancing the different subjects. ITS seeks not to replicate their knowledge at school, but to supplement, broaden and consolidate their knowledge. We often work to help them with exam techniques and to learn how to respond to examination style questions. Furthermore, the greater coursework content of the IB – through the Extended Essay and Internal Assessment – challenges the students to think in-depth about a focused piece of work. At ITS, we help students to develop and structure their answers in an effective and logical manner.
