[Infographic]: Video Games Day (12th September) – the positive impact on children
4 years ago
Nowadays, children are obsessed with video games. And, initially, you might think that video games will always have a negative impact on children, regardless of their age. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s Video Games Day on September 12th and national education brand, Tutor Doctor, have put together a list of benefits that playing video games can have on your children.
Children are playing video games from the moment they can walk and talk – with those aged two to four playing for 21 minutes a day, right up to 13-to-17-year olds playing for an average 2.5 hours. Some of the benefits include improving hand/eye coordination, fostering creativity and teaching problem-solving skills. Celebrate and get involved for National Video Games Day or just rest assured in knowing that video games are not all as bad as they’re sometimes portrayed to be.
Tutor Doctor is the fastest growing in-home tutoring franchise in the world. Business owners work with families to thoroughly asses a child’s needs and then carefully select the best-fit tutor based on goals, personality and learning style. Instead of the tired old centre-based model, tutors visit students at home or work via a state-of-the-art online learning platform so that students can learn in the comfort of their own home, at a time that suits them. For today’s busy families, this is a real benefit!
The company was established in North America in 2000 and started its global expansion in 2003. It now has over 500 franchised offices in more than 14 countries and a network of 16,000 tutors. Operations in the UK began in 2009 and since then the company has experienced growth of 50% year on year and now has 80 franchise owners in the UK. The company is a proud member of both The Tutors Association and the British Franchise Association.
