7 Factors for Tutoring Success

Here are the simple steps our highest-achieving students take to get the most out of tutoring:

1. STICK TO THE PLAN: Together we establish how much tutoring is required to meet your goals. Time and again, students who consistently follow these recommendations are the ones who succeed.
2. SET REGULAR APPOINTMENTS: Commitment to a schedule gives students the steady support needed to attain their goals. Most new Students must concentrate on learning gaps as well as current homework and test preparation. As mastery grows, session length can be gradually reduced.
3. BE PREPARED: Take a few minutes to set-up for your tutor before each appointment. Make the most of your time by having books open and assignments in front of you.
4. MAKE TUTORING THE PRIORITY: With so many demands on our time, something has to give. But, before you cancel a session, consider what it takes to truly meet your objectives. Each time you postpone, your child risks falling further behind.
5. THINK TORTOISE VS. HARE: When it comes to academics, slow and steady wins the race. As those who crammed for exams know, consistency and deep understanding make all the difference. Regular tutoring sends this message to your child.
6. RE-VISIT OBJECTIVES: Even as the need for tutoring continues, the reasons may change. Be sure to share any new academic insights or goals, so that lessons can be adapted to current needs.
7. KEEP IN TOUCH: Want to change the duration or frequency of tutoring? Have a concern, compliment or criticism? Just let us know. We are here to ensure your Student’s ultimate success!

Perhaps the following analogy sums it up best…

Consider someone who joins a gym, plans to work out three times a week, but only exercises twice a month. Sporadic tutoring, like inconsistent workouts, will not yield visible results. Goals can only be reached through consistent investment of time and effort.
