Most students become quiet in class because they do not understand what is being taught or need the lesson to be re taught in a different way. They usually become scared to look “wrong” in front of their teacher and peers. This fear is one of the biggest barriers to learning but tutoring quietly solves this in ways a classroom cannot. When confusion builds up, gaps in learning may result and this could cause the student to become overwhelmed. During tutoring, we can identify those gaps and cater to their needs as well assign homework so they can further apply the concepts that are re taught during tutoring sessions. This will boost their confidence and allow them to ask questions. Slowly, their fear stars to fade. Over time, they begin to start raising their hands in class and reach high levels of confidence.
