Tutors International warns parents of children struggling with mock A-level and GCSE exams to secure help now

OXFORD, ENGLAND, January 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) Tutors International, a leading provider of private tutors, urges parents to act now if their child is struggling to cope with their mock A-level or GCSE examinations. Thousands of students across the UK have returned after the Christmas holidays to sit exams, which designed to provide an indication of their child's progress and potential to succeed in the final exams.

Adam Caller, founder of Tutors International, said; "I have spoken to so many families who are realising now that their child is having serious problems at school. The mock exams are an early crisis point at which both the student and the parents realise that they are unlikely to achieve the grades required to go on to study at the university of their choice. In today's incredibly competitive environment," Adam continued, "it's absolutely critical to catch problems as early as possible."

"I'm urging parents to act now," Adam explained, "because finding the best tutors at this time of year is challenging, and the sooner parents get in touch, the more choice they'll have. Year after year I speak to families in August who tell me they first knew there was a problem back in January during the mock exams. Families that wait until the results come out are delaying the inevitable," Adam said, "and denying their child the opportunity to turn things around before they get to their final exams. Many then hire one of our tutors to facilitate study for re-sits, and so their child is held back a year."

When asked how Tutors International can help in these circumstances, Adam replied; "We provide several options and tailor our provision to the child's needs. It depends upon when the family has contacted us and the nature of the problems the student is having at school. Some choose to withdraw their child from school for intensive private tuition to take the exams in the summer, for example. Alternatively," Adam continued, "we have had many excellent results when a tutor is provided to support a student every day after school in all subjects. Not only does that mean the tutor can adapt readily to a student's strengths and weaknesses across and within subjects, it also gives the student confidence, improves their self-esteem and gives them the freedom to develop in other extra-curricula activities without any stress. The critical point," Adam concluded, "is that parents act now rather than waiting and hoping for the best."
