Choosing a secondary English tuition centre: what to look for
It can be hard to pick an English tuition centre. However, if you think about these key points, you’ll be on the right track.
- Academic standards. Does the centre work with qualified and experienced teachers? Do they have high expectations for students?
- Educational philosophy. Different people learn in different ways. The secondary English tuition centre you choose should reflect your values and your child’s learning style.
- Appropriate facilities. Is there enough space for all the students? Are the classrooms built for education, or have they been converted from another use?
- Additional support. Does the centre offer online lessons? Do they run social events or extra clubs to enrich your child’s learning? And do they offer courses so that your child can keep learning even after their school years?
- Transferable skills. Learning a new language isn’t just about vocabulary and grammar. With the right teaching, your child will acquire valuable communication skills that will lead them to career success.
