Proof that private tutoring can help children with anxiety disorders socially and educationally
Adam Caller, founder of Tutors International, describes a case in which a private tutor has helped a child with a severe anxiety disorder to develop socially as well as providing excellent home schooling

OXFORD, ENGLAND, December 06, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- One of the most common arguments against home schooling is the concern that a home-schooled child will be socially disadvantaged by not having the experience of attending classes and activities with peers at school. Adam Caller, founder of tutors International, cites an example of home schooling that provides the best social development opportunities for a child with a severe anxiety disorder.

"Families that decide to home school their children come up against this social deprivation argument all the time, and this concern is often voiced when we are helping a family to source a live-in private tutor," Adam comments. "As a result, I felt it was important to describe the work of one of our tutors to demonstrate how this argument is not applicable in all circumstances."

"I feel I can disclose the broad details to give hope to other families with a similar problem," Adam explains. "The child in question suffers with terrible bouts of anxiety which made attending school incredibly stressful. One of our tutors is currently home schooling them, and is greatly improving the child's social confidence in activities that many would take for granted but this child is too anxious to attempt alone. It may be as simple as using public transport, but having a dedicated private tutor means the child gets the individual time and support they need to overcome their difficulties. The tutor is skilled enough to not only help them manage the anxiety, but also use the activity to contribute to their education on multiple levels. It's my firm belief," Adam concludes, "that this proves that home education actually helps the social development of certain children, as opposed to the argument that it impedes social development."
