  • THINGS ABOUT ACADEMIC TUTORING

You Should Know
2
(No Transcript)
3
  • There comes a time in many childrens school
    careers when
  • they are simply struggling
  • with a particular subject
  • or concept.

4
  • Should you notice your youngster falling behind
    in math or worried about not reading
  • as well as classmates

5
  • it may be time to seek out
  • a tutoring program whether
  • through the school,
  • at a community center or
  • at a specialized summer camp.

6
  • Timely addition of tutoring
  • can make a huge difference
  • in your youngsters school success.

7
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.
