Helping the tutor help your child:

Whether you are the parent of a kindergartner, middle school, high school or college student, it's important that you are supportive of your child's efforts to improve his or her reading. Supplementing the work the tutor is doing is important in helping to make reading accessible and fun. Some ways to do this are:

Reading to your child on a daily basis
Allowing your child to read to you daily
Keep a good stock of books, magazines and other reading materials in your home
Visit the local library
Involve your child in everyday activities, like grocery shopping or when driving

Make the learning fun! Be encouraging so your child wants to become a reader who is motivated to improve.

Does your child want to keep up with their skills or learn something new? Summer is a very useful time to have your child tutored. Children don't have all the pressures of school work and homework to deal with and summer is a relaxed time. It is a great time to get a head start on the upcoming school year.

If your child:

Required tutoring during the school year - continuing to do so over the summer can provide continuity, and can help to maintain newly-learned skills.

Had a difficult time during the school year - summer tutor is a great way to be proactive and get the upcoming school year off to a great start.

Is often bored during the summer - spending an hour or two per week with a tutor over can help your child remain focused.

Is homeschooled - If your homeschooled child will be working on her schoolwork during the summer and needs additional assistance summer tutoring can be very beneficial.

Will be taking the ACT Test - summer ACT Test Prep can help your child prepare for the 2012-2013 ACT Test.

Time for a tutor?

10/02/2010 21:13:00

When your child needs a tutor you should not be looking for an instant fix. Learning is a process, and for learning to be successful, there needs to be good communication between the student, the teachers, parents, and tutors. Everyone needs to work together to achieve a common goal. For the best results, Rutherford Tutoring Service recommends you allow for at least a few months of tutoring at least once a week.

Below are a few areas of tutoring here is how each can be helpful to your child:

Academic Coaching: Coaching works best when you start at the beginning of the school year to organize notebooks and become familiar with the curriculum and teachers’ expectations. A tutor can also help keep up with the students daily and long term assignments. Some parents that have children that are disorganized keep academic coaches for years at a time, especially if the child has ADD or ADHD. Organization and study skills are best taught during the school year rather than in the summer.

Math: Math builds from year to year. If a child never quite masters a certain math function they will definitely have difficulty with higher level math such as Algebra. If math seems difficult or grades are lower than expected, there may be gaps. A tutor can help fill in these gaps and help a child master areas of difficulty. In math, there are many ways to do most problems, and learning more than one way is usually helpful.

Writing: Writing also builds from year to year. If you are writing below grade level, there could be many reasons. You may need to work on using varied sentence structure, using more descriptive adjectives and verbs, or adding more detail. You may need to practice arguing a point of view, backing up arguments with examples, or developing a voice. Some students need help with grammar and sentence structure. A tutor can use creative writing and areas of interest to make assignments more interesting. Since students have a long break during the summer months this is usually a great time to work with a tutor on writing.

Reading: There are two components of reading: decoding and comprehension. Learning to read takes time. If your child is not reading halfway through first grade, then it is time to seek help. A tutor can help with all aspects of reading and comprehension.

History/Social Studies/Government and Science Courses: Tutoring for these subjects works best while the student is taking the course. The tutor can work on efficient reading strategies, comprehension, memorization strategies, and study skills.

Test Preparation: At Rutherford Tutoring Service, ACT test prep is in demand. Students can improve their scores from practice and instruction. Students should strive for the highest possible score to allow for more choices of colleges. Practice test taking and strategy instruction should begin about three months before taking the test. It is usually good to start late in the junior year of high school preparing for the test. The more prep time, the better, and a tutor can help at any time in the process.

How do you find the right tutor? Ask the right questions! When working with a tutoring company ask questions like what kind of education and teaching or tutoring experience does the tutors have, how are the tutors screened, do the tutors have current background checks, will the tutor come to your home or will you take your child to a center, is the tutoring one-to-one or small group, can you get a replacement tutor if the one assigned is not working, is the scheduling flexible, how long has the company been in business. These are a few questions that you can ask.
