After all, struggling students cost the country. For many students, school is the reason they’re struggling and it can negatively impact their self-esteem. This problem compounds as they’ll struggle to find work. Students struggling costs society and it takes more than just public policy to deal with it. In short, it’s bad for both the student and the country. A lot of secondary school students skip class because they're not interested in school.

The main goals are to:Reduce ESLImprove education levelsPromote social inclusionThe goal is to get the rate of ESL below the EU target of 10% by 2020.With youth unemployment in the UK 2.5 times higher than that over unemployment generally and the UK needs to improve the quality of vocational training to ensure that young people attain the necessary skills to enter the labour market.Actions Taken by the UKBoth education and youth policy in the UK attempted to improve education through increasing school autonomy and created a discourse of individual aspirations, choice, and responsibility.  However, most of the effort has gone towards improving grades at the higher end of the scale. 18% of pupils in English in 2018 failed to get five Gr ade-C GCSEs or equivalent and 37% of them were on free school meals.The government spends around £100,000 per pupil throughout their 15 years of compulsory education and nearly a fifth are not getting the lowest possible qualifications needed for technical courses, apprenticeships, traineeships, or A Levels.This, in turn, makes it even harder for them to find work.So what can you do to combat the failings of the government?Find out more about the benefits of private tutorials.Academic Support for Improving Students’ GradesAcademic support is useful for students whose grades are slipping or can’t get the grades they want.

(Source: ExplorerBob)Missing school can lead to students’ grades dropping and those who are struggling at school are, in turn, more likely to skip school or not attend.Students who don’t like their teachers or don’t get on with them are also less likely to show up. I’m sure that during your time in school you had subjects that you liked because you liked the teacher and vice versa. For me, it was maths. I disliked maths until I found a great teacher who made me appreciate the subject.Academic support can help students enjoy subjects with a tutor who’s there to help them and takes a different approach to learning.  Talking with a private tutor can also be constructive. Academic support isn’t all about grades but rather making mistakes, learning, and getting better. The student may learn new techniques to help them learn more effectively.Academic support, in addition to improving a child’s grades, can al so help them to enjoy school more and decrease the risk of them struggling.So are you ready to give it a go?No matter what subject you need help with or which skills you want to learn, you can find experienced and talented private tutors on Superprof. Regardless of the subject, there are three main types of private tutorial available: one-on-one tutorials, online tutorials, and group tutorials. Each has its pros and cons and some types work better for certain subjects than others.One-on-one private tutorials are between you and your tutor. The lessons will be tailored to you, your goals, and your learning style. Since this entails a lot of work outside of class from the tutor, you'll probably pay a premium for them. However, with every minute in class spent teaching you, these are also the most cost-effective type of tutorials available.Online tutorials are similar to private tutorials since they are between a single student and tutor but the tutor isn't physically in the room with you and is instead teaching you remotely via a webcam. With fewer expenses and the ability to schedule more tutorials each week, the tutor can charge less per hour and they often do.Finally, group tutorials are when several students are taught in a single class by a private tutor. These students may already know each other or be strangers. You won't have the tutor's undivided attention like in the other types of private tutorials but the cost of the tutorial will be divided amongst all of the students in attendance, making it cheaper per student per hour.Many of the tutors offer free tutoring for the first hour so try a few out and see which type of tutorial and which tutor is best for you.
