It’s mid January, which means all of our students have shaken off the long winter break – and it’s all-encompassing mental freeze- and are gearing up for their finals. Here at Study Hut, we’ve extended our hours and expanded our tutoring capacity to help our students tackle their logarithmic functions, combustion reactions, and preterit tenses before they’re tested on it for the last time this semester. We’ve brought out the big guns this finals season to make sure they’re reviewing what they know, filling in any gaps in knowledge, and gaining confidence in subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to AP Biology, but are doing so in a comfortable environment. This past week, I’ve personally logged over 50 hours of just finals tutoring, complete with much needed Goldfish cracker and Oreos breaks.
Obviously students should be studying all semester long to keep up with all relevant concepts, but there is no substitute for getting some extra one-on-one tutoring right before the test. Our tutors are experts in many different fields of study, so the instruction the students get in here is second only to what they get in class (and sometimes even better).
I always make certain that building confidence is a focal point in tutoring my students, as well as emphasizing the importance of working a little every day. Tutoring is a lot like baseball practice: you don’t skip practice and then do a six-hour scrimmage the day before a tournament and hope to win. You practice your plays day-by-day and BAM! The day of the game you’re ready. Finals are the same – with daily practice, paying attention to homework assignments (those questions WILL be on the final), and then a solid review of the semester’s teachings (whether or not the teacher provides a study guide), you will be game-day ready. So, study up for finals, kids, and come into Study Hut for some awesome one-on-one tutoring to make sure you’ll hit it out of the park!
