Here are some points to consider:

The effectiveness of tuition depends on many factors, such as the student's learning style, the tutor's teaching approach, and the subject matter. Some students may benefit more from face-to-face tuition, while others may prefer online tuition.

Face-to-face tuition allows for direct interaction and personalized attention from the tutor. Students can ask questions and receive immediate feedback, and the tutor can tailor the lesson to their individual needs. Additionally, face-to-face tuition provides a more structured learning environment and can help students stay more motivated and focused.

On the other hand, online tuition offers more flexibility in terms of scheduling and location. Students can access tutoring from anywhere with an internet connection, and online sessions can be recorded for future reference. Online tuition also tends to be more affordable and can offer a wider range of tutors and subjects.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on the individual student's needs and preferences. Some students may benefit more from face-to-face tuition, while others may prefer the convenience and flexibility of online tuition.

When selecting tuition for a child with ADHD, it's important to consider their individual needs and learning style. Here are some general guidelines that might be helpful:

  • Consider individual or small-group tuition: Children with ADHD can often benefit from one-on-one attention or small-group tuition, which can help them stay focused and engaged. Group classes with a large number of students can be overwhelming for some children with ADHD, which can make it difficult for them to learn.
  • Look for a tutor who has experience working with children with ADHD: A tutor who has experience working with children with ADHD can provide specialised strategies and techniques that can help your child learn more effectively. They may be able to provide extra support and structure to help your child stay on task and manage their time effectively.
  • Seek out a tutor who uses multisensory teaching methods: Children with ADHD often learn best through hands-on, interactive activities. A tutor who incorporates multisensory teaching methods, such as using visual aids, movement, and other sensory experiences, can help your child stay engaged and learn more effectively.
  • Consider online tuition: Online tuition can be a great option for children with ADHD, as it allows them to learn in a quiet, distraction-free environment. Many online tutors also offer flexible scheduling options, which can be helpful for children who struggle with time management.
  • Talk to your child's teacher: Your child's teacher can provide valuable insights into their learning style and can help you identify areas where they may need extra support. They may be able to recommend specific tutors or tutoring programs that have been successful for other children with ADHD.

Remember that every child with ADHD is unique, so it may take some trial and error to find the right tuition approach that works for your child. With patience and persistence, you can help your child develop the skills and strategies they need to succeed in school and beyond.

GCSE exams are usually taken by students who have completed a course in a particular subject. It is not possible to sit a GCSE exam without doing the corresponding course, normally studied in a school setting or sometimes as an individual at home. The GCSE exams are designed to test the knowledge and understanding of students who have completed the coursework and the content of the syllabus.
