MAYBE WE SHOULD TEACH THE WAY THEY LEARN"

Ignacio Estrada

Not sure if your child would benefit from some extra academic support? You are not alone! Many parents have concerns about the academic performance of their child. Parents want to be sure that their kids get all the support that they need. We all know that many schools have over crowded classes with overwhelmed teachers that may not be able to provide an individual child with what they might academically need to make progress. Well, no worries this blog will help you identify some of the tell-tale signs that your child might need a tutor.

Want to know if your child needs a tutor? Here are the 3 signs to look for...

☗ Sign #1

At home, homework time is a challenge because your child….

- avoids doing homework

- often struggles with independently getting started

- has meltdowns or even cries when tasked to do homework

☗ Sign # 2

Your child shows the following signs of being unorganized and frustrated:

- gets physical sick or has anxiety about attending school

- lacks interest in school or explicitly say they ‘do not like school’

- presents with low self-esteem or a change of personality

- has poor time management skills regarding academic tasks at home or at school

- lacks a sense of organization when completing school work (for example school work is very messy)

☗ Sign # 3

Your child is consistently demonstrating low academic performance. Here are some contributing factors to look for:
