Private Maths Tutoring (2 Viewers)

Hi guys,
I was wondering if private math lessons are better than group tutoring? How does private math lessons compare to Dr Du, Ngo and Scoms?

Hard to generalise. Depends on who the private maths tutor is. As they say: "There are maths tutors and there are maths tutors".

No. Resources and structure of lessons will be too messed up. and less interactive in comparison to tuition centres

but I feel as though I might need to go private tutoring because I ask my tutor so many questions that cant be answered due to the progress of the lesson and I keep having to go to maths help at school for my tutoring homework

NAH NO WAY YOU'RE SHOWING THE TEACHERS UR TUTORING

a few people at my school do that, of course the majority don't for obvious reasons (and some of my teachers have shown (understandable) disdain towards tutoring), but some do. i know a mate of mine in a maths adv class who's told me their teacher helps them with tutoring hw at times if they don't understand it

this isn't necessarily the case. most of the time, structure of lessons is flexible, and some tutors out there really have crazy access to 500 billion resources, and i don't know what you mean by 'interactive', you get more personalised teacher attention with private tutoring than with group centres.
also another key note is that some of the smartest people in my cohort go private tutoring, so it's pretty much based on what you feel will fit you. it all just goes down to what you want in your tuition. for example, i like centres for maths because i like learning in a classroom centres and in terms of structure for lessons i want something more rigid because my primary focus is learning the content ahead of time

Ah I see! Thanks for the reply!! Yeh, one of my friends who is top in math in cohort goes private tutoring so I was wondering if it might work for me.

only some ? wow.
500 billion resources fr if you have access to the secretive drives , aside from that they have to make their own. having made a (basic) topic qn compilation from trial papers it is so draining (really should do it more efficiently..)

As a person who has had many private tutors throughout my schooling years (started at age 9), I have never found priv tutoring for math very helpful for progressing through content. However, they are great to discuss qns that you find hard. In your case an added private tutor would be helpful as you have literally been showing teachers tuition hw (not very ideal as teachers may view you differently and possibly may add more pressure on you). Again though, it is really a matter of your preferences. If AIM is not facilitating your needs, you should probably also consider a different service. As this may actually be the centre's pace and way of teaching that's pulling you back. Also consider online tuition, this way, you can rewatch videos and slowly develop your understanding through that.

My maths department literally tried to convince everyone to get tutoring at the start of year 11, that’s wild
