Today’s typical home tuition student is not motivated by religion, rather by the necessity to have a sound education. For many students, the actual learning starts before school as we know it. Many children already know their alphabet, animal names, colours and other stuff long before they reach school. This is usually due to some hard work being done by an active member of the family who has taken time to teach the kid. Home tuition becomes a natural progression from here. Instead of sending the kid to a normal private or public school, the parent or who ever has taken the tutoring role make their own curriculum and teaches the child in ways that best suits them.
