Learning a new language, or even a familiar one to improve upon, takes time and patience. Reading books can be a step in the right direction, but a mentor puts it all into usable context. Even when taking classes a teacher doesn’t have time to attend to the needs of all the students. Sometimes a student needs more help than an educator has time. That is when a tutor can step in and give the one on one care that might otherwise be lacking. It can determine success for failure, or just an increased grade
School isn’t the only place or means of learning. Going to college can be expensive and if not an native English speaker a daunting task where that is the main language. Tutoring English as a Second Language can include the writing, editing, and resourcing all at once. A main goal is that a non-native English speaker can be taught enough to become independent and understood. Perhaps they need material read to them and explained in a way that they are able to use the information.
Every time literary and other courses become available to increase knowledge of English writing the books taught will be of historical importance or often taught in a school setting. Homeschoolers and their teachers might be interested in using them in their own lessons. Perhaps there are history, literary, science, or other English writing related topics that a teacher would like to have a lesson prepared for them. That is certainly an option for the busy teacher. Students can even request a topic to be developed for their learning. Just be aware it can be time consuming, depending on the required depth of the subject.
