Tutoring Tools

Assessment and a personalized plan are two critical tutoring tools to use before a child begins a tutoring program.

Tutoring Assessment

In order to accurately determine what type of tutoring is right for your child, you must know what your child's specific needs are. A performance, behavior, and learning style test will help you know how to best help your child. These tests should be available at your child's school, at a tutoring center, or online.

Personalized Tutoring Plan

A personalized program that fits your child's needs is critical to his or her success. Based on your child's assessment, the tutor in partnership with teachers and parents should develop a personalized plan. The plan should include specific goals and expectations, methods for achieving those goals, and rewards or recognition when goals are met.

Tutoring's Newest Tool: Online Tutoring

Online tutoring is the latest development in home tutoring. Students submit work via email and receive feedback from professional tutors. The price for online tutoring varies by company and often depends upon how much assistance is provided. Online tutoring is most effective for students who require little supervision.

With proper assessment and a structured plan in place, you should see noticeable improvement, and your child will be on the road to reaching his or her goals.
