Secrets of a home tutor: 5 Ways To Improve Your Child’s Grades
Whether you have an enthusiastic first grade student, or a serious college-bound high school senior, grades are important!
Grades stay with us as we culminate through each grade level, and into college.
Grades are critical when we apply for jobs.
It is more competitive than ever to land a good job and employers are looking at GPA’s and SAT scores when hiring employees… and grades brand us externally amongst our teachers, classmates and family members. They affect us internally with our self-esteem and self-image.
My own child struggled in Math in elementary school. He began thinking he wasn’t good in Math. He started to give up when problems become too difficult. He didn’t even want to try because in his mind he felt defeated.
What really turned him around was when I hired a home tutor to work with him after school. The tutor simplified the math concepts. She explained the rules of Math so he could understand them.
As a result of hiring a tutor for my son, his grades soared! His confidence grew, and he was accepted to the college of his choice. He is now working in his chosen field, and is an exemplary employee with a top firm.

1. Take an active role in your child’s school work. Know what their assignments are and when they are due.
2. Prioritize time each day to help your child with their assignments. Quality time with your child can mean reading books together.
3. Keep your child accountable with their school work. Remember, it is their work not yours. This is how we as parents teach our children to handle responsibilities in real life.
4. Help your child create flashcards to memorize important data. Teach them how to highlight important information, and even rewrite their notes from class.
5. If this all seems too overwhelming to you as a parent, I suggest hiring a qualified tutor to help. This will free up your time to manage the household and other activities that we as busy parents encounter. Many times your child will listen to a tutor more than they will listen to you. It is a small investment to save your sanity. A good tutor will simplify and break down the fundamentals. Tutors know how to teach. Sometimes all students need is a little one on one help to improve their grades.
