Do I Need A Tutor?

People always want the best for their children, especially where education is concerned. All parents want their children to receive 100's in all their courses, score 1600 on the SAT, be accepted by Harvard and become brain surgeons earning $1,000,000 per year.

Unfortunately, many children encounter educational problems along the way. There can be many causes - overcrowded classrooms, poor motivation, bad teachers, slow development, family problems, etc. But, no matter the cause, the problem must be addressed and overcome immediately.

Your first grader may be having trouble with phonics or your third grader with the times tables. Maybe your seventh grader hasn't been able to keep up since being placed in a gifted program or you're not happy about your fifth grader being placed in resource room. Perhaps you're worried your tenth grader won't do well on the upcoming Regents exams or score high enough on the SAT for admission to a good college. Possibly you'd like to remove your children from school and continue their education privately at home. If your child is having problems such as these, you certainly need help to overcome them.

Of course, some parents try to provide help themselves, particularly if their children are in elementary school or if they themselves are teachers. Unfortunately, this is almost always a bad idea. Why? Because parents and their children are too personally involved with each other and find it very difficult not to let their emotions get in the way. Nothing is more distressing that witnessing a parent and child at each other's throat because the child wasn't able to master a topic right away or because the parent lost patience after trying to explain a topic. No, what's needed is an objective, impartial, professional teacher to explain the topics not yet mastered by the child.

That's where we come in. If you're a parent with a child having educational problems (or, for that matter, an adult with your own educational problems, just contact us and we'll find you a teacher who'll get right to work overcoming them.

What Is The Proper Age To Start My Child With Tutoring Sessions?

In general, age is not a huge consideration in determining whether to start your child with tutoring sessions, but it is generally not recommended that students begin tutoring earlier than first or second grade (6 to 7 years old). Obviously, the more years of school your student has had, the more conditioned they will be to function in an educational setting of any kind.

Academic performance: Naturally, a student who is not performing well in a traditional school setting is an excellent candidate for tutoring. However, because emotional and intellectual development varies from student to student, students who find themselves struggling in kindergarten or first grade may suddenly catch up in second or third. Likewise, students who are struggling in sixth or seventh grade may find themselves ready for eighth grade. But the question to consider is, how far behind are they?

Attitude about school: Students who are struggling in traditional classrooms often battle with low self esteem and resist learning and school settings. Tutoring is a great way for them to experience academic success and get a chance to feel smart. The younger the student, the more readily they will rebuild their enthusiasm for learning. Consider this: is their attitude going to support academic growth in a traditional setting?

Availability of resources: Of course, if paying for a tutor will significantly affect financial stability, it should be avoided. Good schools and classroom teachers will often be able to provide advice and support to help a student without the costs of tutoring. Is the anticipated growth worth the expense?
