There are several reasons as to why tutoring is an essential part of every student’s academic life regardless of the grade level they may be in.Some of the most significant reasons as to the need for a tutor are the timing of learning, the importance of test scores, the emergence of common core, the changing teacher environment and the importance for a brush up.

Timing

In today’s busy, fast-paced world, parents don’t always have the time or energy to help their children with homework or test preparation. Moreover, now is the critical time to begin preparing for the state exams. Consistent reinforcement is the key to achieving higher test scores. We can help you with establishing consistent tutoring for an affordable rate.

Test scores are more important than ever

Schools are becoming more demanding and competitive than ever. The good schools prefer to take in high performing students to maintain their reputation. Students that don’t do well on standardized tests whether it’s the Common Core, the TACHS, or the SH-SAT.

The emergence of Common Core

Curriculum throughout the nation has become more complex and evasive with the onset of the Common Core initiative. The common core essentially codified education, essentially revolutionizing the teaching process. Students are now expected to learn in a unit fashion, where sub-topics make a large appearance on the final exam. Specific knowledge is now being more emphasized than general knowledge and each years’ emphasized topic fluctuates. The common core makes it more difficult to prepare in a short period of time. Consistent tutoring is a proven method to increase the likelihood that specific knowledge does not fall through the cracks!

The changing teacher environment

With the millennial generation beginning to encompass the labor force, the teaching industry does not remain unaffected. With our current school system, veteran teachers are moving on at a faster rate than ever. Currently we have one of the largest influxes of new and inexperienced teachers in the classroom. This means that the teacher teaching your child may still not have the experience to manage the classroom effectively, or teach the common core resulting in a sub-par education. With one-on-one tutoring at Tutors on Wheels, all necessary schoolwork will reinforced to your child by an experienced instructor.

Studies show that one of the largest contributors to struggling students are the failing of mastery of key topics in prior years

Students who struggle the most essentially lack the skills supposed to be learned in prior years to be successful with the material introduced. Teachers typically don’t go backwards in material since they have a curriculum plan to focus on. Therefore, those students don’t get the reintroduction to key prior lessons that they missed out on. Private tutoring aims to solve this key problem. Our tutors perform a pre-session diagnostic to determine if their students fail to do well because of prior-lessons struggles. They would then focus on specific lessons to improve those necessary skills and continuously keep track of their student’s academic standing through progress reports.
