Tutor-Private Teaching and Learning

Information is of great value in our days. With the help of necessary information you may move mountains and protect yourself from troubles, such as different kinds of scam, con and fraud. The songs are made about the consumer rights and their protection, but still people are suffering from fraud and the law cannot do anything, at least punish those scammers. That is why the best weapon we can fight the swindlers with is the information about them. We have to stick together and spread a word about each and every scam and very untrustworthy company or organization. As well as about good ones just like Child Support Network.

About the company. Child Support Network is an American company. The company was founded in 1995. Child Support Network specializes in raising funds for desperate parents. The company claims that it does not charge its clients until Child Support Network really helps. Child Support Network provides its services all over the United States. The company claims that it has collected millions of dollars to help parents and their kids. Child Support Network is one of those companies that very often appear in the news and advertise their services. Child Support Network is considered to be one of the leading child support professionals. Child Support Network describes itself as a company that is actually a parents trusted children source. Child Support Network provides all necessary information about a huge number of youth organizations and everything connected with it. It is all about an enormous database of reviews and comments. People write about their experiences to let others to be aware of bad and good sports school, courses, and so much more. And actually this system does work especially for those parents who really care about their kids and want them to be healthy and wealthy. Everybody understands that this all is very important in our lives.

Advantages and disadvantages of Child Support Network. Child Support Network is a very good way to go for those parents who are looking for some additional information about bringing their kinds up in a healthy society. Child Support Network is a very trustworthy company because these people claim to be those individuals who care about the children the most and never will be able to hurt them. And others would not intend to do something bad to other kids. That is why all the reviews are truthful and other parents can really trust them. But the website of the company has a number of disadvantages. It is not very useful to use it because all the information seems to be spread all over the website and a person can really get lost in it. But after all, Child Support Network has more positive things than negative.

It`s a tradition to consider all or almost all children to be happy. But it`s about time somebody exploded that old myth about childhood being the happiest period of your life.

Why is it hard to be a child? Childhood may certainly be fairly happy, but its greatest moments cannot be compared with the sheer joy of being an adult. Who ever asked a seven-year-old or a ten-year-old for an opinion? Children usually don`t have opinions and if they do, nobody notices or wants to notice. Adults choose the clothes their children will wear, the books they will read, the school they will go to and the friends they will play with. Mothers and fathers are kind but absolute dictators. The world the children live in is an adult world. The children may be deeply loved but have to be manipulated so as not to interfere with the lives of their parents. So the difference between manhood and childhood is the same as difference between independence and subjection. In spite of the nostalgic remarks you may hear, which adult would honestly change places with a child? Do you remember your years at school? Think of your constant fear of examinations and reports. Every moment of your life was observed by some critical adult.

Adolescence is the most painful time. No matter how kind and loving adults may be, children often suffer from terrible illogical fears. Even these are only part of a child`s troubles. The most painful part of childhood is the period when a child begins to emerge from it: adolescence. Teenagers may rebel violently against parental authority, but this causes them great unhappiness. There is complete lack of self-confidence during this time. Adolescents are overconscious of their appearance and the impression they make on others. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy. What a relief it is to grow up. Suddenly you regain your balance: the world opens before you. You are free to choose. You have your own opinion, your own place to live in and your own money to spend. You don`t have to seek constant approval for everything you do. You are no longer teased, punished by heartless adults: you are one yourself.

“Enjoy them now, they will soon be teenagers!” Parents often can hear warnings like this from friends and relatives. Media images of teenagers as secretive and moody troublemakers can lead parents to expect trouble as their children develop. But are these really fair descriptions of the typical teenager? Not necessarily.
Who are modern teenagers? The research shows that family life doesn`t have to be a battleground during the teenage years. Many parents never face serious conflicts with their adolescent children and live peacefully and harmoniously with their teens by keeping communication open and making some adjustments in the way they think and act to compromise. Teens have a natural need to establish their own identity. They progress from childhood dependency to adult independence, from control of parents to self control. For parents this usually means dealing with some tension in the home as teens ask themselves “Who am I?”, “How will I get along with others?” Teens often look for the answers to these questions by challenging authority and testing rules.

What should and what shouldn`t parents do? Parents who lose their tempers, withdraw in despair can make things worse. Constant negative messages from parents can lead to hostility, indifference and withdrawal in teenagers. Whatever their doubts may be, good parents always express confidence that things will get better, support their teens` efforts, cheer them up and show their love to children. Teens need to hear from their parents that they are loved unconditionally for themselves and that their parents will stand by them no matter what. Parents should encourage their teens to assume increasing responsibility for their choices and actions, while continuing to provide appropriate supervision and guidance. It`s important for parents to remember that teenagers begin to look like adults but often act like 2-year-olds in their determination to establish their own identity.

There is no doubt that books have played a major role in shaping the cultural life of any society. They broaden our outlook, develop our artistic taste, give us a lot of useful information. I don`t think I can get along without them.

The price of progress.
People read for different treasons. Some of them read for instruction, some for pleasure and some read from habit. What should a teacher do, if a child doesn`t read at all? He certainly can but he doesn`t want. In one of his novels I. Asimov describes the life of our planet in the future, where only mechanical teachers exist, there are no schools, there are no books with pages. The dusty old book, found by the children, seems to be something particularly wonderful. Was the story written to amuse the readers or to warn them against possible problems of the future. There is a proverb: “Choose an author as you choose a friend”. And a child does. More and more often he chooses… a computer. Sometimes I simply cannot understand why otherwise intelligent humans have gone computer-mad. It starts early: a teacher despairs of time-telling when a pupil sports his hideous digital watch that peeps, plays tunes, starts and stops, even shows firework displays but instills no sense of the hands moving majestically round a clock face. Instead of learning mental arithmetic a child grows up thinking, that a calculator is his right.

How to get children to read.
It has always been difficult to get children to read. Nowadays the situation grew worse. It`s in a teacher`s power to improve it. Teachers are always trying to come up with new ways to get kids excited about learning. They get pupils to special projects to make the process of learning more interesting. Several special programs that are to help the pupils to discover the joys of reading have been introduced in many schools. The pupils are to reach their individual reading goals within four months. The pupils not only read, but they discuss what they have read with their classmates. The winners of the program are to get the reward for the entire class. This fact makes the kids be more diligent and responsible. In one of his famous essays F. Bacon wrote: “ Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take it for granted: nor to find talk and discourse: but to weigh and consider”.

Learning is not at all a bed of roses and a tutor knows it better than anyone else. There are lots of difficulties on the way of getting knowledge. They can be of a different kind, but the main one may be a child who is taught by a tutor, that is, a pupil himself. In teaching practice such a child is usually called a difficult child.

Whom can we name a difficult child?
So, who is he? Is he someone who is always cheeky and rude to everyone, who is irresponsible and undisciplined? Does he break windows or burn his hated books in the fireplace? Nothing of a kind. The difficult child is the child who is unhappy. He is at war with himself and in consequence he is at war with his parents, his teachers at school, his tutor and with the whole world.

Who and what can make a child difficult.
A child is almost always made difficult by improper treatment at school and at home. The conditioned, repressed, submissive child can be met in every corner of the world. He lives in every town, in your street, next door to you. The difficult child is prone to obey, he is afraid of any criticism. He desires to be conventional and correct, that`s why he can`t stand his mistakes. He accepts what he has been taught without question. He never asks questions and has no idea how to do it. It seems to be quite convenient for his busy parents and for a tutor who is indifferent to his pupil, who doesn`t care much about the results of his work. Such a tutor is sure that his main and only duty is to give some useful information and nothing more. He isn`t able to see the way his pupil hands down all his complexes and fears. Or he just doesn`t want. He turns a deaf ear and blind eye to the child`s problems. An unqualified tutor takes it for granted that a child should be taught to behave in such a way that the adults will have as quiet a life as possible.

What can prevent a child from becoming difficult.
Home plays many important roles in the life of a growing child. It gives him love, sense of security, it educates and defends him. If a child lives in a broken home or with heartless, indifferent parents he may turn more to trusted adults outside the family for ideas, knowledge and love. In this situation a tutor`s personality is the first to be mentioned. If a tutor is frankly honest with his pupil, honest without moralizing understand and trust will thrive.

There is a problem that every person faces sooner or later. This problem resolves itself into a few important questions: What is education for? Why study? What way of learning is more efficient? Most of us will be quick to answer. It is a common knowledge that education helps us cope in the modern rapidly developing world where we are to add money up, to fill the tax declarations in, to read maps and street signs. No doubt, we are speaking only about the lowest level. It is a first step on the way to getting education. On the next level everything is getting more complicated, because one should think of some kind of job that will give an opportunity to succeed in life.

We still live in a very competitive society. Competition has been the driving force behind improvements in most areas of our life. The existence of competition has always meant to do things quicker and better than others do. If a person wants to be a successful competitor he is to decide what way of learning will assist him to achieve a long-held ambition and to rise to the top of a chosen profession.

Certainly, there is no right or perfect learning style. Everyone is, to some degree, a mixture of various learning styles. If a teacher at school fails to find out a pupil`s domineering learning style, a tutor is a person who can help in such a situation.

To be properly enjoyed, the process of learning shouldn`t be organized in big groups. If a child is usually surrounded by other children at a primary school, a senior pupil is always accompanied by his fellow students, it is no longer learning in anything but name. Other students may crowd child`s meandering impressions with their own, they may mislead him and obstruct his view.

If a tutor works with a person things seem to be different. A student is able to stop and go on, to have his own pace, he can be open to all impressions and let his brains take all the information from what he sees, hears or reads in a company of his tutor. The work eye to eye with a tutor is particularly important while learning a foreign language.

Learning a foreign language is not just a matter of memorizing, it is closely connected with our personality and culture. Quite an important factor is a tutor`s personality. The atmosphere during the lesson is determined by a tutor, who sets the tone by choosing the types of exercises and topics, suitable for a certain pupil. A qualified tutor can catalyze in his pupil the irresistible wish to obtain knowledge, to do it every day and everywhere, to learn something new and to become something new.

A person can get knowledge in smaller or bigger groups, the number doesn`t matter. If a tutor is in charge of the process, one`s getting knowledge turns into learning for the sake of learning and afterwards for the sake of one`s successful future. What else can be more important…
