Part of a Team

Parents want their student to succeed. Find a tutor who sits down with the parents and the student. Conduct a thorough interview to determine a mutual goal. Questions they should ask are what are the students weaknesses and strengths from the perspective of the parents as well as the student. Each person has a different style of learning and this information will assist the tutor to achieve the best results.

A Good Foundation

Working one on one, the tutor will determine what pieces are missing in the student’s foundation of their knowledge and help increase their understanding in those areas. A good tutor will monitor the students increasing comprehension as their work together progresses. As the student’s confidence in their abilities grows it often ignites a newfound  curiosity about something they struggled with previously.

Study Skills

Often sitting down to study can be very overwhelming for some students. The tutor can help the student learn how to study and use their time wisely.
