▣ Back to school and both parents and children perhaps a little apprehensive?1 Comment added to this post
So many times Parents have no time for themselves, with all the extra curricular activity, and students spend so much time with after school homework that the household stress is enormous.
What to do? A few suggestions come to mind to relieve some of the pressure. When children need after- school help, who can blame them if they do not look forward to a sessions or two with a tutor on a subject they find difficult to comprehend?. Why are they stressing so much? They are not feeling good about themselves when a school subject is tough for them. Obviously with the large number or children in each classroom children cannot receive individual attention….and what about their learning style? Teachers have no time to analyze that for them either. What if an after school tutoring program became something to look forward to? Parents, when working with a Tutoring Organization,( after making sure background checks and qualifications are what is needed), express from your observations the way your child learns best, talk about their personality(nervous, shy, outgoing, curious) and what type of tutor’s personality would be a good fit. When a child gets individualized tutoring and all of the above concerns are addressed, they become more relaxed and realize that it was not them who “:Just did not get it” but that everybody learns in a different way. Once a good tutor recognizes this, and the student begins to overcome the difficulties experienced with a particular subject……Wow….The difference it makes to that child’s self-esteem, is enormous, learning becomes fun, and what was once difficult is now understandable. Parent’s too, feel less stressed when they realize that they have given their child a gift that will last a lifetime, and at the same time shaped their child’s attitude about learning and ambition to do well in life. On the “What our tutors say” Page on the Comfort Zone Tutoring Web-Site, it gives us the re-assurance that all is not lost when we read some of those comments. These are excellent educators with a passion for teaching and take a pride in their student’s success. In fact it becomes a very personal challenge for them to succeed also, your child becomes their’s in a manner of speaking. Our children are our future also, let us make sure that American Children exceed in education and do not fall behind other Nations. last edited on November 12th, 2008 at 4:29 PM |
