PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES

“Our Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor has provided excellent academic support to my 7th grade son. Last year we had battles and tears over homework. This year with Jerry’s weekly tutoring, not only has my son’s resistance to homework and studying decreased, his grades have gotten better and better with Jerry’s help and guidance. He has an ability to relate to my child that somehow engages and challenges him to think at the same time. He never tells my son what the answers should be, but asks good questions, turns learning into something fun and provides clear academic structures and support all at the same time. He is easy to work with and a delight to have found. I’m happy that my son is so agreeable to working with him and I, for one, couldn’t be happier with the services we have received from Y3K. Everything from science lab reports, to math and writing Jerry seems to have a way to help both my son and me through the homework and demands of 7th grade.”

“We have used Y3K Tutor In Your Home for almost 2 years now to help my son through 7th and 8th grade and it has been extremely helpful. Even though our main focus is on math, Jerry is always willing to help with other subjects as needed and even helps my son with time management and organization skills. He is very flexible to schedule and very engaging with my son. I would definitely recommend him to any student that needs a little extra help!”

“Y3K Tutor In Your Home is terrific. We just started using the owner this year for my 6th grade daughter and we have seen a marked improvement on her test scores as well as her comprehension for math concepts she was struggling with. The tutor has got a great way with her. He is very calm and patient. I highly recommend him.”

Autism & Asperger’s Playing

By

The reason children on the autism spectrum do not enjoy pretend play is based on how their brains see the world. Pretend play requires putting yourself in someone’s shoes and talking and acting as if you were another person. Children with autism spectrum disorders usually struggle with the ability to see outside of themselves.

Bad Report Card? What To Do #8: Ask Questions

Sometimes a student tries their best but still receives a poor grade on their report card. Some questions to ask are:

Is the class too large for your student to get the individualized attention they may require?

Could the time of day of the class have an effect on your student? (For example: early morning, before lunch, or after gym)

Bad Report Card? What To Do #3: See The Teacher

Often there are a lot of different components that go into calculating a grade. A simple letter grade on a report card may not provide a clear picture. Your child’s teacher can give you an explanation as to what components specifically may have lowered the grade. The teacher will help you identify what areas in that subject matter require additional support. Then you can decide if the extra support will come from you, the teacher, or a Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor.

Report Cards

By

Report cards can be stressful for many students. If your child’s first term report card does not have the grades you would have hoped for, it does not pay to panic and add to the stress. Some children and their parents outrageously consider a bad report card a death sentence. This is simply not true. A report card can be used as a tool to help a parent have a clearer vision of what strengths and weaknesses their child has. Then once a weakness is on the radar, a parent can begin to address the problem.

There are many factors that go into the grades your child received on the most recent report card. Over the next several days we will take a closer look at first term report cards and what you can do to help your student improve future report cards.
