Education for young athletes: Tutors International issues advice to parents

Tutors International founder

Adam Caller recommends successful strategies for educating young professional

athletes 

OXFORD, UK: Tutors International founder Adam Caller has this

week advised parents to consider private tuition for children competing in

sports at elite levels.  Tutors

International clients have found that private tuition is ideally suited to students

pursuing a sport or other extra-curricular interest professionally. The

flexibility offered by private tuition enables pupils to develop their academic

and sporting talents concurrently. 

This advice follows a recent BBC Radio 4 broadcast in which a Tutors International pupil named Alex – who competes in karting at an international level – and his tutor named Paul were interviewed regarding the merits of private tuition for young athletes. Since the interview was recorded, Alex – aged 15 – has gone on to win a major karting competition in Asia.

Adam Caller commented, “I’m thrilled that

since Alex has had Paul as his private tutor and personal trainer, he has

achieved incredible success in his karting career, and he also continues to

excel in his studies. One-on-one private tuition can be a fast and effective

way of transforming children’s learning and sporting performance. For Alex, his

sporting commitments haven’t been restricted by his schooling, and similarly

his education hasn’t suffered despite extensive karting practice and races.”

 When

interviewed by BBC Radio 4’s Caroline Bayley, Alex said: “Now that I have a

tutor I don’t have to be restricted by school hours. Usually I spend Monday to

Thursday doing schoolwork, and I learn the same things as other students but in

a shorter timeframe. My one-on-one tutor can condense the information more because

he knows me personally; he knows how I learn and the best way to feed me the information.“

Mr Caller added, “Since Alex’s sporting win,

we have received a number of enquiries from parents of karters and other

sportspeople who now recognise that traditional education systems cannot

effectively cater to the needs of many young athletes.  Education whilst competing at a high level in

sport is so imperative that many families don’t make the most of the sporting opportunities

available to them for fear of disrupting their children’s school education.

It’s reassuring to see more families recognising the benefits of private

tuition for young athletes, and the high volume of related enquiries we have

received is testament to the commitment parents are making to both their

children’s education and their sporting careers.”
