6

• Timely addition of tutoring
• can make a huge difference
• in your youngsters school success.

Individualized Learning Experience
8

• Theres nothing like individual attention to help
  youngsters grasp hard-to-learn concepts and work
  through stumbling blocks.

9

• Todays classrooms are often crowded and busy.
• Quiet, struggling children
• are easily lost in the crowd,
• and individual tutoring

10

• or small group instruction allows these
  youngsters
• to better reach their potential.
• Kids are also more comfortable in the
  non-threatening atmosphere of tutoring

11

• where they can work at their own speed without
  worrying about the performance
• or opinion of other students.

12

• With less pressure, students
• are more at ease and better able
• to overcome with academic problem areas.

13
Becoming A Better Learner
14

• A good tutoring program can give young students
  the chance
• to become better learners,
• to think independently
• and to develop improved
• problem solving skills.

15

• A good tutor can help a child hone study habits
  and learning strategies that can stand him
• in good stead in a variety
• of subjects throughout his academic career.

16

• Its also helpful for kids to see that they
  arent alone in their struggles with math or
  reading, and success can also
• breed success.

17

• When kids see others with similar academic
  problems begin
• to succeed, they realize that they can too.

18
Value Of Hard Work
19

• Tutors arent intended to do your childs home
  work for him.
• Rather, a good tutor can develop
• a childs appreciation
• of the rewards of hard work.

20

• Much as a coach cant hit a home run for a young
  baseball player,
• a tutor cant perform a students school work but
  can show him how to maximize his efforts.

21

• For a child, knowing that better school
  performance and better grades are earned by their
  own hard work is an invaluable lesson and a great
  character builder.

22
Immediate Feedback
23

• Unlike homework and class assignments, individual
  or small group tutoring means your child will get
  immediate feedback
• on work done.

24

• Although this can seem like criticism to your
  child
• if hes not used to tutoring,
• its a great way to speed along the learning
  process.

25

• Also, one-on-one attention means your student can
  ask
• as many questions as he wants without worrying
  about whether class might think the question
• is stupid.

26

• Immediate answers to questions means concepts can
  be grasped more quickly.

27
Super Parent Resource
28

• Because a tutor is spending
• one-on-one time with
• your youngster, it means the tutor can be a
  valuable resource for you
• as a parent.

29

• Stay updated on the progress
• of current and upcoming sessions and ask the
  tutor about his own experiences with studying
• and taking tests and how they may help your child
  in their
• home studies.

30
Improving Academic Performance Stopping The
Summer Slide
31

• High quality tutoring, based
• on the childs needs as identified
• by parents, teachers and the child herself, leads
  to improved performance with school work,
  homework and tests

32

• However, even when one
• particular goal has been achieved,
• a youngster may need occasional remediation in
  problem areas.

33

• A good tutoring program is geared to helping kids
  with needs
• that may change throughout their academic career.

34

• Additionally, many kids lose ground during summer
  when theyve stopped using their academic skills.

35

• Depending on the student,
• this may mean the loss of several months of
  learning.
• Tutoring during the warm weather months can help
  your child start school in the fall right at or
  above grade level.
