Some Children Are Slower Learners Than Others

PH219168 • 23 July 2024

Schools today are not what they were in the 1950s and 1960s. It seems that many children now get left behind because they haven’t managed to understand something that they were taught in a class, but it seems there is never enough time for the teacher to take them aside and explain and help them.

If this is happening to your child, or children, then they need to have extra tuition in order to bring them up to speed. It is not that they are stupid, but it is a straightforward fact that some children are simply quicker learners than others. The opposite is also true, in that some are slower learners than others.

 

This is why so many parents today are bringing their child to us a Smart Kids – because they want their children to become “smart kids” rather than getting left behind. We provide Oldham academic coaching from teachers who are experts in their field and understand that children are different, as opposed to many schools today where the process is more along the lines of “one size fits all”. The fact is that it doesn’t, and it never will.

 

 

Designed For Each Child


This is why all of our coaching is carried out in a way that is specifically designed for each child and his or her abilities and needs. It is also carried out on a one-to-one basis, so your child has a personal mentor who has an interest in seeing him or her grow and become top of the class. We all want our children to be a success in life, and our Oldham academic coaching is designed to set them off on the right foot.

 

For instance, things such as maths can be confusing to some children. Algebraic fractions and frequency tables are difficult enough for some adults to understand, let alone a youngster. We work by taking each child from easy questions through to more complex ones. This may need to be repeated because the child forgets something, so we return to it and repeat it until one day a light bulb goes off in their head, and suddenly they’ve “got it”!

 

The old saying is “practice makes perfect” and it is true. We also use visual aids such as revision posters to help your child get to where he or she needs to be.

 

If traditional schooling is not serving your child well, then come and talk to us at Smart Kids and let us show you what we can do.
