Problem-area concentration
Students who fall behind on daily
assignments or have problems in particular areas of study often
benefit from weekly tutoring sessions. In these sessions,
students can work at their own pace and be taught according to
their individual learning style.
Accelerated-area concentration
Students who desire a challenge in specific
subjects, can use tutors to help them achieve this goal.
A student who wishes to improve his/her writing, for example,
should be encouraged to develop these talents.
Learning disability
Students with disabilities often rely on
tutors for extra help outside the classroom. A personalized
curriculum can be tailored to the special needs of that
student.
Study skills
When exam time comes around, many students
experience the sort of anxiety which makes it impossible for
them to achieve high grades, even if they have studied for
hours. Study skills are not normally acquired through
osmosis; they must be learned. Tutors can help students
learn how to study.

Self image problems
If students are struggling in school, they
may suffer from a low self-esteem and become discouraged which
can hinder further learning. Tutoring gives students a
boost of confidence and encourages higher learning.
If you do decide that your child may
benefit from specialized education, the next step is finding a
tutoring service which will meet your child’s
needs. Here are some things to keep in mind as you search
through the yellow pages.
Enthusiasm
Look for a service which employs
enthusiastic tutors. The attitude of a professional tutor
can influence the way a child responds to the learning process.
Cost
The cost for a one hour tutoring session
can vary from $55- $70 per hour.
1/2 hour sessions and group rates are also
available.
Mobility
Tutors 2 Go provides in-home tutoring to
accommodate the busy schedules of parents and eliminate student
travel time.

Personalized assessment
It is extremely important that a tutoring
service conducts an initial assessment for its students.
The assessment process helps the tutor understand a
student’s specific needs. With this knowledge, a
tutor can design a learning program that is suited to the
individual’s learning style and areas of difficulty.
Time
Remember, the tutoring process is most
effective when applied over a substantial period of time. To be
the most successful, frequent and consistent sessions are
recommended.
Psychological testing
Some tutoring services work with an
educational psychologist. If you feel that your child can
benefit from a combination of psychological testing and
tutoring, look for a service which provides this option.
User-friendly atmosphere
Try to find a service that emphasizes
communication during the tutoring process. The most
effective tutoring services keep parents and day school
teachers in close contact with the student’s progress.
