An individual's sound
education is not only the result of the efforts invested by both the student
and the school system, but is actually a product of symbiotic interactions
between the parent, the teachers, the student, and the school. On the other
hand, while home tuition may seem to be an independent effort by parent as an
adjunct to the traditional classroom instruction, it is actually effective
because of a regular interaction between the parents, the tutors, and the
tuition agency.
The
Role of Parents
Because parents have a natural emotional attachment to their kids, it is just normal for them to have the desire of providing only what is best for their children, and that includes the desire to provide the best quality of education possible. It is therefore natural for parents to feel stressed whenever their kids are not performing well at school, and in an effort to help their children achieve an acceptable academic performance, one of the thing they resort to is to look for professional help by way of home tuition. The parents' role, however, does not end with providing such a need. Home tuition is as dynamic as traditional classroom instruction is. It does not exclusively revolve around the tutor and the student. To be an effective instrument in facilitating a conducive learning environment for their kids, parents must take a proactive role in private tuition. Firstly, they must see to it that their child's tutor does not engage in the classic teaching methods that hamper the child's opportunity to develop an ability for self-directed learning. Teaching strategies such as the spoon-feeding and the rote-memorization method are among such techniques that obstruct a student's capacity for independent learning, and parents will do well to make sure that their child's tutor does not in any way resort to using these antiquated methods of teaching. Parent's must also see to it that their child's tutor has a supportive attitude, which will go a long way towards helping develop the child's emotional intelligence. This, in turn, also helps in the development of the child's ability to engage in self-directed learning.

The
Role of Home tuition
Teachers working for a home tuition provider must recognize that they perform a critical role in the total personal development of any child they interact with. As private tutors, they give a supportive learning environment wherein the child's emotional intelligence, apart from his or her intellectual capacity, is gradually developed. This in turn promotes a student's self confidence and results in gaining an ability to conduct self-directed learning. To achieve this goal, home tuition providers must avoid spoon-feeding and rote memorization as a method of instruction, since these techniques only foster dependence on the part of the student. Rather, private tutors must use teaching strategies that promote and support independence and self-motivated as well as self-regulated learning.

The
Role of Home Tuition Centers
Home tuition agencies have the responsibility of looking for teachers or tutors who are well qualified to handle the subjects that they offer tuition for. Not only should teachers have sufficient knowledge of the subject that they handle, but they should be able to facilitate a smooth knowledge transfer as well. In addition, it is the tuition center's responsibility to screen their teachers or tutors, making sure that they have the capability to adapt to diverse student personalities and behavior. Moreover, the center should be able to identify tutors that are particularly suited to handle particular type of students as needed. Aside from tuition, the center must also be able to offer motivational activities and group classes.

In conclusion, home
tuition is an important component of a child's education and its main objective
is to help the student achieve not only excellence in academics but also
emotional intelligence and independence in learning. An effective home tuition
is the result of mutually beneficial interactions between the child, the
parents, the teachers or tutors, and the tuition center.
