"Different strokes for different folks" is the operative phrase when considering the fundamentals of the learning process. Students who require private tutoring need these services for a number of reasons. There are at least three different learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic [which is learning by touching and doing]), and all students operate under a different learning curve. The one-on-one attention that tutoring provides enables a student to work at his or her own pace, and in the stylistic manner that works best so that the student can develop confidence in his/her academic ability.
