One-to-one tuition or group tuition, which is more suitable for my children?

一对一补习和辅导中心补习，我应该为孩子选择那一种？

One of the questions which parents ask most frequently is: “One-to one tuition or group tuition, which is more suitable for my children?”

家长最常问的问题是：一对一补习和辅导中心补习，我应该为孩子选择那一种？

Every child is different. Group tuition caters to a group of approximately 8 students each session and the syllabus is prepared with the objective of catering to the average learning capacity of the class; the progression of the class is based on what the teacher perceives as an appropriate pace for the group as a whole, thus it is not possible for every individual’s unique needs to be met in full.

每个孩子是不同的。辅导中心设立的补习班每课有八个学生，补习课程按照孩子们的平均水平设置；补习过程通常是根据老师所理解的进度按部就班，很难照顾到个别学生的弹性需求；

In One-to-one tuition, the teacher pays close attention to the child’s personality and level of understanding, preparing a set of lessons best suited to the needs of the particular student. Lesson objectives and pace may be altered any time, in accordance to the rate of the student’s progress so as to ensure that each class is very focused and efficient.

一对一补习，老师为孩子设置独一无二的补习计划，按照每个孩子不同的个性和程度进行贴心辅导，上课的侧重点和节奏按照每个学生的实际状况随时调整，非常有针对性。

In terms of physical environment, a typical group tuition class follows the traditional classroom setting, which makes it difficult for the students to be relaxed and in the best mental state to learn. They may find it difficult to communicate effectively with the teacher and may not receive personal care and attention.

环境方面，在辅导中心补习，孩子等于面对另外一个学校课堂，心理状态难以完全放松，也很难找到自在、从容、被老师重视的感觉。

In One-to One tuition, there is no barrier between the teacher and student. The child is given personal attention and feels more at ease in a private setting. As a result, it is easier for the student to relax and focus solely on learning, gaining confidence and motivation which makes the process of learning more enjoyable.

一对一补习，老师和学生的沟通没有障碍，孩子单独受到老师的特别关爱，能够放松身心，找回自信，激发潜能，使学习变得轻松愉快。

All factors considered, the benefits of One-to-one tuition far exceed that of Group tuition. However, if you would like to focus on developing a child’s picture description skills in composition or speaking, it may be beneficial for him/her to participate in Group tuition, where students may inspire each other through brainstorming and group discussions.

总体说来，一对一补习的效果远远好过辅导中心补习。不过，如果需要特别加强孩子看图说话和看图作文的能力，参加小组讨论的补习班也是有益的，学生们可以彼此启发，集思广益。
