El Segundo Middle School tutoring

One-on-one El Segundo middle school tutoring brings benefits to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students, but is particularly valuable during the transition years of middle school. Middle school is the time to develop important study skills to be successful in high school, and beyond. Study Hut El Segundo middle school tutoring provide students with support in single or multiple subjects, serve as academic coaches, teach study skills, and help prioritize tasks.

Study Hut El Segundo middle school tutoring appointments are tailored to help students with all of their challenging subjects, including: math, science, language arts, social studies, and foreign languages. The struggles that we commonly see with students across every subject, at every proficiency, are difficulties that arise from poor study skills. Study Hut students learn how to most effectively tackle their academic responsibilities, and are given guidelines to continue effective independent study. Along with supplemental practice, middle school tutors can help students learn which study method works best for them and what type of learner they are – visual, auditory, reading/writing, or kinesthetic. Helping a student identify the type of learner they are allows them to effectively study, therefore earning better grades in the long run.

Many struggles that students have stem from the inability to prioritize tasks and manage time. There are only 24 hours in a day, and when you factor out the time spent sleeping, time spent at school, and time needed for eating breakfast and dinner, it is no surprise that students can feel overwhelmed! Students often must contend with multiple tests in a week, or are confused about a topic in one of several subjects. Study Hut middle school tutors can help students plan out their studying, their assignments, and their weeks, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. Honing in on these skills better prepares students for success in high school and their future endeavors, and is core part of Study Hut’s middle school support system.

Do Not be Fooled by Manhattan Beach Middle School students

January 4th, 2012

Dont let these Manhattan Beach middle school students fool you. Please stay active with them and keep them engaged.

Go through his “edline” acct with him and talk to him about each of his grades. He could use practice quizzes and he can make them himself.

He needs to focus on his daily planner too, as do ALL of our middle schoolers, and even most of our high schoolers, and have all his tests written on the day they will be given, and have a detailed study plan written out for the days leading up to his test(s).

The study tasks should say, “Make 20 flashcards for spanish verbs” and that would be on Monday for example, even if his test isnt until friday. The next day should read, “review flashcards for 2 [20min] chunks”…. you can make him difficult practice quizzes where you will be able to see if he is not only comprehending the material, but retaining it.

You’re def going to want to make mini quizzes (they can be as small as 3-5 questions based on the material he just covered). If no practice quiz is given, there is no real way to ensure comprehension.

He can work on HW, but that shouldnt be his number 1 or even number 2 priority, unless the difficulty of the assignment is a pressing concern. He needs some management help, and probably a little conceptual help, you can evaluate the needs of all this at the beginning with an interview process. You will be able to gauge and feel more comfortable after working with him a second time…that kind of thing builds as you get to know your student.

Assuring students’ backpacks are clean and folders have dividers are ways we aid in promoting the success of our students. We try to incorporate good habits while the students are young so they can really utilize these skills as they get older. As students grow, so does their workload,  and organization only becomes that much more important with age.
