Does Your Child Need Tutoring?

DOES YOUR CHILD NEED TUTORING? According to the National Institutes of Health, 15 to 20 percent of children (grades K-3) have poor reading skills and 10 to 25 percent of older readers (10 years old or older) have problems with comprehension. Is your child struggling with reading, comprehension, or other areas of learning? If so, tutoring can help. TUTORING HELPS STUDENTS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS Students who want to improve their letter grades ..from a C to a B or B to an A! Students who want to maintain their grades but need help to boost their confidence Students who are uninterested in schoolwork and need positive reinforcement Students who have recently started having trouble in an individual subject (For instance, Algebra, Reading or Chemistry) Students who need homework help Students who are in difficult Honors or AP courses Students transitioning from one school to another (i.e. elementary to middle school in the same district, or District A to District B) Tutoring can help students develop the capacity to solve problems on their own. It can teach independence to students and help them to achieve a more focused and energized relationship to their education. -James Mendelsohn, Ph.D., Tutor Sources: http://www.parentsleague.org/publications/selected_articles/does _tutoring_help_or_harm_your_childs_education/index.aspx Huntington Your Tutoring Solution
