It is thought that teenagers suffer more stresses and strains today than their parents did. Whether or not this is true, they do suffer from anxiety, stress, depression, addiction to social media, peer pressure, bullying, eating disorders, low motivation, drug addiction and abuse of alcohol. Tutors from England’s tutors often come across these or indeed a combination of them in the students that they tutor. It is a big part of the tutors’ jobs to deal with these problems. Living in the home, our tutors become life coaches helping to solve these teenage problems.
In fact, it is a major part of the tutor’s task: very often poor academic performance is related to one or more of these problems; there is no point in a tutor trying to improve the academic performance of a pupil if it is being hampered by one of these innate problems. Our tutors help their pupils overcome them. This is one of the many benefits of having a residential tutor in your house for 24 hours of the day to help teenagers with their unique problems. Our tutors have been very successful in resolving them.
The tutors sent by Tutors from England are not just teachers; they are role models, mentors – their positive influence surrounds their pupils 24 hours a day.
Our tutors are holistic tutors – they deal with all their pupils’ problems, not just their scholastic ones, and they help their pupils realise their stress can be a positive motivation for success. Life doesn't have to be overwhelming.
No matter what their pupils are doing, the tutors do it with them – playing sports, chess; going to the cinema and accompanying them everywhere, guiding and building their characters, making a dramatic change in attitudes to learning and life. They are fully immersed in the families' daily life, eating meals, sharing leisure and social activities. This is very different from hourly tutors who have limited time, entirely focused on studies.
