1. During the school day, teachers’ attention is spread among many students. A tutor can create a targeted plan for your child’s specific needs.

2. Today, kids have increased access to technology, busy parents, and have extremely busy schedules, all of which can potentially distract them from their studies. Time with a tutor gives them the time to focus only on homework or studying.

3. Tutors have the time to explain a concept in several different ways, instead of having to move class along at a certain pace.

5. Even for students who are doing well in school, tutoring can provide a competitive edge to do even better.

6. Summer tutoring can prepare students for upcoming difficult subjects, such as algebra, or reinforce what was already learned that year so September isn’t spent playing catch-up.

7. For high school students, individual or small group tutoring can be essential for APs and SAT subject tests.

8. For younger kids, tutoring can help boost standardized test scores.

9. A tutor can be a useful sounding board for an upcoming project, paper, or exam, and can help prevent the stress and frustration of leaving an assignment for the night before.

10. Whether it’s third grade math, high school chemistry, or middle school history, tutors have expertise in their subject and can make it more engaging and maybe even fun.
