First off, congratulations, you are reading this blog, which means you are taking a serious interest in your child’s educational journey and weighing up all the options available to you. Home-schooling is not the best option for everyone but it is becoming an increasingly popular choice for parents, given the lack of flexibility and creativity in the traditional schooling system and the inability for public schools to empower young people to follow their own educational interests. At Global Geography Academy, our online geography tutoring team have designed our flexible programmes considering your child’s academic needs, wellbeing and self-development goals and interests within the subject area. You can find out more about our online geography tutoring packages here.
For now, let us consider some of the benefits of home-schooling.
1. Personalised Learning: small group sizes allow for courses to be tailored to students’ style, pace and interests;
2. Flexible schedule: online study means that individual lessons can be organised at any time to accommodate families’ busy schedules or other commitments;
3. Safe Learning Environment: with technology such as anonymous online quizzes and the ability to learn from peers without fear of judgement should mistakes be made, online group tutoring offers a safe space within which students can grow academically and with the right learning environment, develop all-important life skills;
4. Customised curriculum: at Global Geography Academy, our GCSE and A-Level programmes are modular, meaning that students are free to choose the modules in which they need the most support;
5. Efficient Learning: smaller class sizes and engaging interactive activities keep students focused as they are less likely to get distracted compared to a traditional classroom environment;
6. Reduced stress: home-schooling eliminates the need to commute, assignment deadlines and the pressures of constant testing. Reducing stress in education makes learning more enjoyable and it is more likely for students to develop a passion for life-long learning;
7. Educational consistency: this is especially important for families who are often on the move. Online tutoring allows you to take your tutor, peers and programme around the world with you;
8. Adaptability: a fundamental benefit to home-schooling is the ability to accommodate special needs, unique educational requirements and giftedness;
9. Diversity: at Global Geography Academy, we are excited to bring the world into a single online classroom. Your child can develop an open mind, being part of and interacting with a peer group from different backgrounds from around the globe.
With today’s technology, it has never been a better time to take up home-schooling. Quality online tutoring with subject experts at can remove the pressure from home-schooling parents, knowing that their child’s education and wellbeing are in good hands.
