Tutor

A tutor is a kind of teacher who works with just one child, or a small group, instead of a whole classroom. On a regular day, they sit beside a learner with notebooks, pencils, and maybe counting blocks or a picture book. For example, if some words are tricky to read, the tutor listens, tries a new way to sound them out, and plays a word game until it clicks. They notice exactly where someone got stuck and plan the next step just for that learner.

Because a tutor goes at one person's pace, there is time to ask every question, even the ones that feel a little shy. Think of the moment when a hard math problem suddenly makes sense and a smile appears. That is the moment a tutor helps happen. Learning something that once felt too hard helps a child feel brave enough to try more new things.
