Tutoring

Christopher had math tutoring this morning. We had to get there by 7:45 a.m.

He got a bit nervous as we drove up because we arrived right at 7:45 a.m. But they didn't open the school until that time so he felt a bit better.

As a result of tutoring, the bad grade went to a 75. Much better. Not great or even good, but much better.

I'm a big fan of tutoring. It's free and each teacher offers it. You can attend each tutoring session which is once or twice a week per subject. Some are before school, some after.

I tell Christopher, it can only help him. Plus, attending one-on-one or small group tutoring helps him get to know his teachers better. They see his willingness to learn and desire to succeed. Just like his clothes, teachers notice those subtle things.

By no means do I want to force him into tutoring, I want him to feel comfortable with it. Tutoring is not always the result of a low quiz score. We explain it helps him understand concepts he may be confused by or if he has questions on work. His teachers are there to help him.

To tutor him.
