Tutors and Nannies

We’ve noticed that more and more families are hiring tutors. to help their children, alongside their nanny. At The Elite Nanny Agency we’re recognising that this is a real contribution. To the well being of the child. Not just intellectually but also to their confidence and self-esteem.

Does your child need a tutor?

Here are five significant reasons to consider hiring a tutor.

  1. If your child has missed education through illness or travel.
  2. Where a child has learning difficulties or requires help with language issues.
  3. If a child is challenged in a particular area of study.
  4. Where a child is excelling in a particular area of study.
  5. If a subject that interests your child is not part of their school’s curriculum.

 

Increasingly we see that extra-curricular subjects. From music to second languages, specialist science and even athletics, are becoming the responsibility of private tutors who work alongside other childcare professionals. This is to ensure children are getting the kind of fully rounded education that parents desire and that will give a child the best opportunities both at school and in the wider world.

How a tutor benefits your child

A tutor doesn’t only play a crucial role in your child’s intellectual development. They generally also provide key life skills. These can help your child throughout life. When a tutor works alongside a nanny to support a child. This can be a powerful way of developing a child’s characteristics and confidence.  The benefits can include.

  • A dual focus on child development. By working as a team the nanny and tutor can give a child a solid understanding of key skills, reward activities and encourage attempts. This mean your child becomes attuned to achievement.
  • Effective monitoring of progress. A dual approach can help a struggling child to get timely support. Or encourage a high-achieving one to continue to progress.
  • Skills building. When powerful strategies are applied to both intellectual and life issues, children become able to focus their efforts on successful approaches.
  • Sensitive supervision. A professional nanny, working in conjunction with a tutor, can oversee a child’s activities and recognise when they are ready to be stretched. Alternatively, when they need extra support to succeed.

 

Nanny and tutor working together for your child

One of the best ways to get the most from the nanny/tutor relationship is to set regular times for them to liaise. Also ensure that clear guidelines are in place for your child’s progress, and give responsibility and supervision roles to each individual. Therefore they can easily share information to help your child’s progress.
