PARENTS AGREE:  Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES #11

Innovative, determined to make improvements, professional, cooperative and most importantly very flexible with the many moods of our little man.  We are very happy with the progress our son has made and continues to.  Jerry is very responsive to parental feedback and questions.  He tests new methods and adjusts them seamlessly.  We highly recommend him to those looking for a serious tutor whose main goal is helping your child.  Thank you Jerry for all your hard work!!

The owner has been tutoring my kids – now in 10th grade – since they were in elementary school.  The specific needs have varied over the years and Jerry has always been able to adapt his teaching and style to provide what was needed.  He is able to provide support across all the academic subjects – but just as critically – he has helped with organizational skills and planning.  And he has remained even and cool-headed in the face of difficult teenagers, resistant to getting help.  In the face of reactions that would fell the most intact ego, Jerry has maintained his sense of humor.  I can’t recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home highly enough.

Back To School Success #2: Agenda Books

By

Agenda books are great for recording and keeping track of homework assignments. The best agenda books to use are the ones that have the date and each subject printed daily. Y3K Tutor In Your Home strongly suggests that you stay away from the planners without the date and subject names pre-printed in each box. We have observed that the unmarked agenda books cause many organizational problems for students. If the subject names are not pre-printed, the students tend to focus on writing the subject name when they should be listening and writing the assignment. Or if students don’t bother to write in the subject name, they sometimes are not sure which assignments are for which class after they have written them. When dates are not pre-printed, some students will write assignments on various pages and have them scattered throughout the book.

Back To School Success #1: Homework Space

By

The first question to ask yourself is, “Where does your child do their homework on a consistent basis?” Then ask yourself, “Where does your child keep their laptop, tablet, and/or cell phone while they are doing their homework?” If the answer to both questions is the same location, then this may cause a lot of problems. Students require a quiet place to do their homework without interruptions.

Some children (and adults) struggle with putting aside social media and texting, so it is up to the parents to monitor this activity during homework time. One solution is to have them do their homework within view such as at the dining room table. Another solution would be to keep all the electronics in a separate location when they are doing homework in a private room such as their bedroom or study room.
