How do math tutorials help students? - Answers

There are different kinds of tutorials and they help in different ways. Tutorials are (or should be) organised for small groups. A good tutor should, therefore, be able to respond to the needs of the individual pupil. In better tutorials, they should know and be able to work with the pupils' preferred learning styles. Pupils are often embarrassed about asking questions in large classroom environments. This should be less of an issue in a smaller group and the tutor should have more time to deal with individual queries. That should help pupils gain a clearer understanding. Finally, tutorials supplement teaching. It is an opportunity to apply what has been taught and explore the range of applications where that learning may be applied.
