April 20th, 2009Redondo Union High School Spanish Tutoring: Finals time
April 16th, 2009
Spring is in the air in the South Bay, and finals are right around the corner at Redondo Union High School. As tutors, we know that one of the subjects that requires the most practice and review is Spanish, especially around finals season! With our one-on-one sessions, we not only help students understand supplementary vocabulary, but we also help students get a better handle on how to properly execute correct grammar. With the year coming to a close, the newest material is often the hardest to understand in the least time to understand it. Read the rest of this entry »

April 15th, 2009
Attention PVHS and Peninsula students:
The stretch of finals at the end of the year is when a lot of you will realize that, just maybe, you haven’t kept your schoolwork as organized as you ought to have (and you swore after last year that you’d get better at that)! You’ve seen the study guides — your teachers weren’t kidding when they said that the tests would be cumulative. And where are those notes on cell division, anyway? Read the rest of this entry »

STEP UP:
One-on-one summer program for 8th graders entering High School
As the end of the school year nears, it’s time to start thinking about the transition into a new high school. Bigger classes, different teachers for different classes, more homework, and more difficult material can be overwhelming if a student is not prepared to handle the stress of a new high school. Now is the time for eighth graders to sharpen their organization skills and develop new study tactics so they can stay on top of their work as they smoothly transition into ninth grade.

Science Tutor
March 29th, 2009
Why is science tough?
Why do people struggle with it in school?
Science is definitely a subject where the old cliché of, “The more you put into it, the more you get out of it” applies. Human Anatomy and Physiology further exemplify this adage. It seems that many high school students have trouble putting “more” into academic subject, (especially a notoriously dry one that requires excessive memorization), usually due to typical and healthy teenage distractions such as sports, socializing, music, and various after school activities . This is where Study Hut Tutoring can helpfully intervene! Read the rest of this entry »
History Tutor: AP European History
March 19th, 2009
History is a demanding subject, particularly when it comes to AP European History. History in itself is basic memorization and correlations, but the key to succeeding in this class is good organizational skills. With the right study habits, any student can be guaranteed a passing AP score. Study Hut Tutoring has the ability to provide students with the necessary regimen that will lead to a three or above!
The first step is to read the entire chapter and outline it. The act of writing and reiterating the main points allows for better memorization. It is important for an outline to highlight key events and contain the important W’s (who, what, where, when, and why?). The outline should be followed up by a constructed time-line and flow chart that presents the main ideas of the chapter. This will provide the student with a big picture and will aid immensely in future studying for any class tests and the AP test itself. Read the rest of this entry »

English Tutoring: This Poetry Stuff is Tuff!
March 6th, 2009
From grade school through high school there are those English teachers who assign their kids to write poems.
Students always dread this. This must be because when kids think of poetry, they think of rhyming. They think of all the rhyming poems they heard when they were little that seem so lame now that they’ve got cell phones. They’re busy texting their Bff Josh, amirite? Read the rest of this entry »
