BENEFITS OF ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING

Students who fall behind on daily assignments or have problems in particular areas of study often benefit from weekly tutoring sessions. In these sessions, students can work at their own pace, according to their individual learning styles.

Students who want to work ahead in specific subjects (often subjects at which they already excel), can use tutors to help them advance. A student who wishes to improve his/her writing skills, for example, should be helped to develop these talents.

SPECIAL NEEDS

Students with special educational requirements often rely on tutors for extra help outside the classroom. A personalized curriculum can be tailored to the special needs of that student.

STUDY SKILLS

When exam time comes around, many students experience anxiety that makes it difficult for them to work up to their full potential, even if they have studied for hours. Effective study skills are something that must be learned. Tutors can help students improve their time management, focus and study skills, taking the stress out of homework, research papers, class projects and test taking.

SELF IMAGE PROBLEMS

If students are having difficulty in school, they may begin to feel inadequate and become discouraged which can hinder further learning. Tutoring usually gives students a boost of confidence and encourages learning.

If you do decide that your child may benefit from individual instruction, the next step is finding a tutoring service that will meet your child’s needs. Here are some things to keep in mind as you search for the best solution for your child’s particular needs.

A tutoring service should employ enthusiastic tutors. The attitude of a professional tutor can influence the way a child responds to the learning process.

MOBILITY

In-home and on-line tutoring eliminates student and parent travel time.

During the first tutoring session, our tutor will assess your child’s personal learning style and strengths and discuss his or her specific classroom needs and academic goals. This allows the tutor to design a learning program that most effectively meets your child’s immediate and long term educational objectives. As milestones are reached or your child's needs change, the tutor will modify the lessons to keep pace which your child's achievements and goals.

This is a very different than the testing assessments done at learning centers, which exist primarily for them to place students into the correct "generic tutoring class".

TIME

Remember, the tutoring process is most effective when applied over a period of time. Don’t expect overnight miracles.

USER-FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE

An approach should emphasize communication during the tutoring process. The most effective tutoring services keep parents and schoolteachers aware of the student’s progress.

We will customize a program to meet your child’s specific needs.
