Remember when getting help with your homework at the kitchen table often ended in tears and frustration? These days, many parents are working from home but are challenged to find time to work with their children. Tutors can bridge this gap and with remote options available, they can connect with students now more than ever. Whether it is helping with a single problem, or trying another approach at an entire subject, tutors are helping students catch up on and improve their academics.
“Tutoring can benefit students who are struggling to catch up, and surprisingly quickly,” said Brian Jackson, principal. “We’ve had a free, robust tutoring program for many years. In-person tutoring is preferred, but if schools are only offering online tutoring, students should take advantage.”
For families where free tutoring is not accessible, the burden often falls on parents to help with schoolwork. These tips for parents can help avoid the pitfalls of helping with homework.
