5 Reasons your child may need a tutor

Tutors can provide essential assistance to struggling students as well as the competitive edge that an A student needs to get ahead of the pack. However, not all students benefit equally from tutoring. Here are some points to consider when deciding whether or not your child may benefit from tutoring:


  1. The student's grades are consistently low or are beginning to slowly start declining. 
  2. The student is lying or making excuses about school work regarding low test scores, missing work, late work, etc..
  3. Disruptive behavior is being exhibited at school and the attitude of the student is becoming negative. This type of behavior can be a sign that the student is struggling.
  4. There have been missed classes due to illness, skipping, or is adjusting to a new class after a move.
  5. An important test is coming up: midterms, final exams, SATs, ACTs, etc.. A tutor can help with studying, making sure that the student knows the materially thoroughly and correctly, and teaching test-taking strategies and skills.
