Studying doesn’t just mean sitting in class and memorizing. From my experience as a parent, private tutoring is often a real game-changer for secondary students, especially for important subjects like Indonesian, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Sociology, and Geography.

“Initially my child didn’t want to study on their own, but after finding the right tutor, they became enthusiastic,” shared a friend.

Why Can Private Tutoring Help Children?

Private tutoring offers a individualized and adaptable approach. Every student doesn’t progress at the same speed, and personal tutors can adjust the study approach based on the student’s learning style.

According to research from Universitas Gadjah Mada (Santoso, 2022), students receiving personalized guidance show improvements in concept comprehension of up to 40%. Therefore, the results aren’t limited to better grades, but children’s thinking processes and learning strategies also improve.

Learning Strategies by Subject

Focus: reading, understanding texts, writing essays.

Tips: Storytelling and analysis exercises aid comprehension.

Research from Indonesia University of Education (Rahman, 2022): students studying language through discussion and text analysis improve literacy skills by up to 35%.
