One on One Tutoring

One to one tutors


Research has found that one on one tutoring is most successful when delivered by specialist staff – but it can be challenging for schools and school districts to recruit and train them.

Third Space Learning is like bringing in multiple high-quality interventionists into your school to work one-on-one with the students who need it most – but without the price tag or the need for recruitment.

Tutors are all STEM specialists (graduates and college students) who complete an intensive training program after a rigorous application process and receive ongoing professional development and coaching to support student learning.

One on one tutoring FAQs

What is one on one tutoring?

One on one tutoring is when a specialist tutor works with an individual student to address their learning needs. One on one tutoring may take place online or in-person. It can take place in school or at home with private tutoring. Research suggests the best tutors are specialists in their subject with a solid understanding of teaching and learning. However, there are different benefits and enrichment associated with peer tutors. This is when a (usually older) student tutors another. This may be well suited for students who need help developing motivation and confidence.

Is one on one tutoring good?

One on one tutoring is the best form of tutoring because tutoring sessions can be completely tailored to an individual students’ learning needs and learning style. Small group tutoring may be well suited for some students, however research suggests that students make the most progress when they receive high quality, tailored one on one tutoring.

Is 1 hour of tutoring enough?

1 hour of tutoring per week may be enough to improve student progress, however it depends greatly on the age, developmental stage and learning needs of the student. For students who struggle to concentrate, shorter and more frequent sessions may be more beneficial. This is why one on one tutoring can be so beneficial – learning plans can be individualised and more flexible than group tutoring. Look for tutoring services that provide flexible scheduling. At Third Space Learning, teachers can cancel, rebook and reschedule sessions at any time online.
