Student to Tutor Ratio

Kumon Tutoring Canberra

Kumon tuition operates on a group-tutoring system. Students can attend the learning centre in groups, where an instructor is there to guide them through worksheets and assign independent tasks.

Big Improvements Tutoring Canberra

Rather than working in large groups or classes, each tutor works with just two children at each session. This captures the best parts of one-on-one tutoring and group work. This way, a student receives the necessary amount of direct attention, and the social nature of learning is also maintained.

Prior to commencing, a diagnostic test is completed to check a student’s current skills. Kumon tutoring is based strongly on worksheets. Their website states: “With the Kumon Method students learn by doing the worksheets independently without being taught.” Groups do have an instructor present, and it’s their role to guide students progressively through their worksheets and grade their performance. The Kumon tuition method is referred to as ‘Individualised Instruction’ and ‘Self-Learning’. Worksheets are checked by the instructor, and progress is tracked according to worksheet results. Students can get tutoring in all Australian curriculum subjects, however you pay per subject, so a child can’t seek help with, for example, essay planning if they’re only enrolled for maths and English.

The Big Improvements learning environment isn’t like a classroom. It’s aimed to be more fun, hands on, and comfortable so students can be inspired to learn. Tutors create personalised learning activities to suit a child’s needs rather than using generic worksheets. Sessions can also focus on a student’s current needs. If English is an issue, the tutor can help with that. But if students have particular assignments due, there’s flexibility to help with assignment planning and learning good study habits. The tutors at Big Improvements like to learn about a child’s interests and passions, so they can relate their school work to something the students are excited about.
