Organizational Skills Make All The Difference

By

Y3K Tutor In Your Home often receives phone calls and emails by parents all the time asking us to help their students with organizational skills. These skills can be the difference between a poor student and a successful student. Children without organizational skills more often than not, tend to fall behind and suffer with low grades. They have trouble keeping track of assignments and/or constantly losing things.

Over the next several posts we will offer some organization tips just in time for the new school year.

Homework Strategy

By

Having a ton of homework can be overwhelming for a student. Students (and adults) may be paralyzed with fear as to how to get all of the homework completed. Have your child identify and start the hardest assignments first. This way their brain will be the least tired and most focused.

“Y3K Tutor In Your Home has been a great support system for my son from elementary school through middle school. Helping him not only with the actual schoolwork but the organizational skills that it will take to be successful in school. My son looks forward to his sessions and plans out what he wants to work on so that he will get the maximum benefit. The tutor (who also happens to be the owner) is always willing to help him out in anything. He really knows my son. He also knows how to motivate and get my son back on task. The owner’s flexibility and support has really helped my son learn to enjoy school and not dread it. I would absolutely recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home for anyone looking for a tutor.”

“Y3K Tutor In Your Home is the best home tutor service I’ve been able to find and has helped my young son tremendously with his marks. Not only did the tutor arrive on time and offer reasonable rates, but he was warm, friendly and does a great job teaching my son. In fact, my son now looks forward to doing his homework with the tutor and is upset when the session ends. The tutor was very flexible, organized and worked with me to reach our goals. I could not recommend this company more! Give them a try, and you’ll see for yourself why I stick with them.”

Praise Effort

By

Praising effort leads to a more confident child. Acknowledging their hard work motivates kids because effort is a factor they can control. Students cannot control the grades they receive, but they can control their preparation and determination to do their best. Applauding their effort reinforces the message that learning and improving is achievable when they try.

Learning Styles

By

Most students learn in a combination of ways but lean toward one style. Understanding how your child learns can help you and their tutor support homework, projects and studying. Over the next week we will take a closer look at the 7 learning styles. Try to see which learning styles your child may use.
