4 Reasons You NEED Private and Small Group Tutoring

Hi, I’m Wendy, the founder of Steele’s Scholars, and I’ve seen firsthand how tutoring transforms students’ academic journeys. Whether a child is struggling with math or just needs a confidence boost, private and small group tutoring makes a measurable difference. Research shows that students who receive individualized tutoring outperform 98% of their peers (Bloom, 1984). Here’s why investing in tutoring is one of the smartest decisions you can make.

1. Build Strong Foundations

Math (and most subjects) builds on itself. If a student has gaps in their learning, future concepts become harder to grasp. Studies show that 74% of students struggle in advanced math due to weak foundational skills (NAEP, 2022). Tutoring helps solidify these fundamentals, ensuring long-term success.

2. Boost Confidence

Math anxiety is real—about 93% of American adults experience some level of it (University of Chicago, 2019). Personalized tutoring provides a supportive environment where students can ask questions, make mistakes, and build confidence, turning frustration into mastery.

3. Improve Academic Performance

Students who receive one-on-one or small group tutoring see an average grade improvement of one to two letter grades (EdWeek, 2021). Targeted instruction helps them stay ahead in class, ace tests, and reduce overall stress.

4. Encourage Critical Thinking

Tutoring isn’t just about memorizing formulas—it’s about learning how to think. Research confirms that students who develop critical thinking skills perform 30% better on standardized tests (Hechinger Report, 2023). These skills translate beyond academics, helping students become better problem-solvers in life.
