OXFORD, England, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent statement, Tutors International, a leading provider of bespoke tutoring services, has shed light on the significant advantages of personalised learning in fostering academic success and personal growth among students. The conventional one-size-fits-all approach of classroom education, while foundational, often misses the mark in catering to the individual needs and learning styles of each student. Personalised learning, particularly through private tutoring, presents a paradigm shift that recognises and nurtures the unique potential within every learner.

Key Points:

Personalised learning, particularly through private tutoring, presents a paradigm shift that recognises and nurtures the unique potential within every learner.
Adam Caller, CEO and Founder of Tutors International:
"The ability to recall facts and figures and repeat them in exams is very out-dated.
