Often students that struggle at school have feelings of low self worth and therefore are not motivated to work hard. Tutors increase a student’s confidence in a subject that they are battling with by explaining difficult sections to them and putting the subject to them in a new way. Once a student starts to achieve good marks in the subject their self-esteem increases along with their confidence in the subject and they are more confident going in to tests and exams. A student's self esteem is therefore increased when they start to achieve good marks.

Tutors will often take a subject to a new level, getting the student to see the subject in a new light and expanding on the subject allowing the student to see different aspects therefore increasing their general knowledge.

A student who is doing badly at school and has lost interest in all of their subjects is greatly motivated by having a tutor sitting next to them, helping them through their homework and giving them tips on studying. A tutor gives them the confidence to tackle difficult sections in their school work and helps the student to come up with study methods that work for them. The student then learns that they are able to complete certain problems with the help of a tutor and then they eventually learn that they can complete these problems by themselves. Tutors encourage the students and always keep a positive attitude. They allow students to always see the positive side to learning. A tutors enthusiasm for a subject begins to rub off on the student and the student starts to see a once boring and dificult subject in a new light.

Occasionally children can become overwhelmed by the amount of homework and tests given to them which can result in them not wanting to do any of it. This sometimes leads to a power struggle with the parents who are often too tired to cope with it resulting in the parent/child relationship being disrupted.

Having a tutor eases the parents stress in that they no longer need to worry about their child's homework and upcoming tests etc. They can have peace of mind knowing that everything has been taken care of and the parent child relationship can resume as normal. The child also responds better to a tutor who comes in and makes the sessions fun and enjoyable resulting in the child looking forward to the sessions every day.

Tutors help improve a students marks dramatically. A student can go from failing a subject completely to doing extremely well in it. Tutors are however not just for the students who struggle at school, they are also helpful in getting a student to achieve an A in a subject that they are only achieving a B. _
