"in-home tutoring"
As a parent, the most important thing to remember when sending your student back to school is that they need your help and guidance in order to be successful. Time management and organization for a student of any age is important at school, but also in the home. The precedent modeled at home will be reflected at school. Doing simple things like committing to a schedule including time for chores, homework, dinner, and family time on a nightly basis will create consistency in your student’s life.
Many of us grew up seeing Mathematics as a field only the gifted can enter. While the geniuses have fun with numbers, the rest of us wade through them either in hazy stupor or in mindless fear. The most we could do was pass the quizzes and exams that our teachers would give so we [...]

Perhaps, APD is more of a learning disorder than ADHD because it involves auditory processing, which is necessary for interpreting information through verbal communication. As we all know, verbal communication is necessary in the learning process.
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) symptoms include difficulty in paying attention and remembering information when coursed through multiple modes, such [...]
Let us look deeper into ADHD and understand how this disorder came to be. Some experts believe that people who have ADHD retain some of the “hunter” characteristics associated with pre-agricultural humans.

Among schoolchildren, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is the most common diagnosis by child psychiatrists today. This disorder has been controversial for many reasons, one of which is the frequent over-diagnosis of ADHD.

More than thirty years ago, the existence of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder were unheard of.

As a result, in-home tutors and [...]

Tutoring and academic coaching both aim towards improving a student’s knowledge and skills. As proof of this improvement, the student’s grades pull up. This boosts the student’s self-confidence and motivation to learn more.
However, tutoring differs from academic coaching in application. Tutoring is often applied when the student has difficulty in one subject [...]
We often see the relationship between an in-home tutor and tutee romanticized in films and books. In a platonic sense, the relationship resembles that of a master and an apprentice, which parallels a familial relationship between sisters or brothers and between a parent and a child.
In-home tutoring has [...]
The relationship between the tutor and the student or the tutee defines the quality of tutoring your child gets. The tutor’s level of authority and the age difference determines how the relationship progresses. Sometimes, peer tutoring works, but other times, a child may need an older and wiser tutor to [...]
Over the years, professional tutors proved to be invaluable assets in an otherwise imperfect educational system.

Education plays an important role in building your child’s dreams. As a parent, you want your child to get a quality education as well as perform well in school. Their academic performance reflects on the kind of parent you are and your personal concern for your child’s future.

Most parents and teachers think play and study are two different activities. One is merely recreational while the other is more practical. In the past, parents see playing as wasting the time better spent on rote learning.
Today, the opposite happens as parents view schoolwork as too overwhelming for children that they do not have [...]
