The transition from elementary to middle school is, arguably, the most important step toward success on the way to college. Middle school is, for many students the first stage when classrooms are divided by subject, when the time spent on homework stretches into hours — when organization and study habits begin to determine how well they can keep up.

Middle School Academic Coaching
February 6th, 2009Sixth grade Social Studies Tutoring
February 3rd, 2009
For many students, the sixth grade is the first time that social studies venture outside the United States, and that history begins earlier than 1492. The standard sixth grade history curriculum — covering ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, et cetera — challenges even the brightest students. The remoteness of thousands of miles and thousands of years makes history suddenly more abstract, as it describes places that students cannot see immediately around them. Southern California students are, after all, more likely to visit the San Juan Capistrano mission than Jerusalem. Read the rest of this entry »

Importance of Math Tutoring
December 1st, 2008
In the teaching profession, the most asked question by students is “why do I have to know this?” Ancient people, famous books, and complicated mathematical formulas appear to be an archaic way keeping children busy at school. However, at Study Hut Tutoring we understand that while the concepts learned in such classes as Algebra and Geometry seem pointless, they are actually important pieces in a large puzzle that makes up a child’s education. Every lesson taught and every formula memorized plays an important role in a student’s future. A very simple example is that each individual mathematical concept builds on the one before it, in a process that prepares a students understanding for a college atmosphere (not just in math, but the sciences as well). But even more importantly, these concepts collectively teach a student important lessons like problem solving, rational thinking, and study habits. Read the rest of this entry »
My Daughter Needs Help in School! What Should I Do?
November 24th, 2008
Hi Study Hut Tutoring,
My daughter is an 8th grader at a middle school in the Torrance
Unified School District, and this year she has really been struggling with her classes. I’m not sure if her classes are getting harder, she isn’t trying as hard as she used to, sports are taking up too much of her time or what! I know she’s a bright girl and she’s always done well in her classes before, but I just don’t know what’s happening this year. Can you offer some advice? Thanks! Read the rest of this entry »
