The importance of tutoring for school-aged children

It is extremely important that parents are aware of the importance of tutoring for school aged children. As the methods of delivering instruction change due to the advancement and incorporation of technology and as standardized testing becomes the new measure of success, one thing still remains, we still expect one teacher to effectively teach to a group of students. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for one teacher to provide the adequate amount of attention each and every student needs. According to (Hams, 2006) childhood is a multistage process where early investments feed into later investments. Skill begets skill; learning begets learning.

Signs of Academic Difficulty

Often times, parents watch their child get pushed through grade levels without properly identifying the child’s learning gaps or seeking appropriate interventions from the child’s school or outside agencies such as One On One Tutoring Service, located in Philadelphia, PA . I have met with countless parents who had no idea what their child’s weaknesses were. The end result is that the child’s learning gaps continue to widen as he or she gets older making it more difficult, expensive, and a lot more time consuming for interventions to be successful.
