THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!!!

School is right around the corner

In about a week we will hear buses roaring through the neighborhoods, pencils being sharpened, and homework that needs to be completed. It's the homework part we seem to worry about. As tutors, we know the importance of homework. Without this, students would be partially lost. It is important to us that homework is completed on a daily basis. Although the child may not fully understand the concept, that is what we are here to do.

To Be Real or to Be Rational? That is the Question.

Can this even happen?

Summer Assignments

Don't you just love it when your child comes home with a stack of summer assignments? Having these assignments discourages excessive laziness that a child may develop during the summer. Not only does it keep them in the constant jive of working hard but it also helps them not to forget concepts that were taught to them while in school. More and more schools are requiring summer assignments to be completed as a grade on the first day of school. Although kids may naturally complain about it, all the information learning in the previous years will be attached throughout the summer and onto the new school year. Tutoring during the summer will also make a huge difference. If no summer assignment is given, more and more parents are turning to tutoring services to teach their children the new concepts of the upcoming school grade. Reading and math tutors are always at hand looking for children to tutor. After all, teachers are out of school as well and can always use an extra review of teaching methods. All in all, summer assignments and tutoring is just a win win situation for all groups in the education pool.

Are you good at spelling?

Log vs. Timber

A math student is pestered by a classmate who wants to copy his homework assignment. The student hesitates, not only because he thinks it's wrong, but also because he doesn't want to be sanctioned for aiding and abetting.

His classmate calms him down: "Nobody will be able to trace my homework to you: I'll be changing the names of all the constants and variables: a to b, x to y, and so on."

Not quite convinced, but eager to be left alone, the student hands his completed assignment to the classmate for copying.

After the deadline, the student asks: "Did you really change the names of all the variables?"

"Sure!" the classmate replies. "When you called a function f, I called it g; when you called a variable x, I renamed it to y; and when you were writing about the log of x+1, I called it the timber of x+1..."

Is homework a good idea for the summer?

Most children do not like the idea of homework. In fact, hearing the word homework may even encourage them to look the other way. However, homework helps the student in retaining what they have learned. We do not want the summer to wash out an entire grade. A few problems a day can make a huge difference!!!

Tutoring Makes a Difference!

As a tutor and educator in Florida, I have seen many parents and even students addressing the fact that they may not enter into the next grade. This can be a scary time for many parents. On that scary note, there are options available to improve a child's educational outlook. Being a math tutor in the Broward County area I have seen many success stories through tutoring with Tutorwell.com. One particular student that I have tutored will always stand out. She first started as a 10th grader with no knowledge of basic multiplication facts. Each session both the student and I put out the time needed to make this a success story. Although I was tough on her, she saw past it and paid attention because she knew it was her future she was playing with. Within 4-6 sessions she made a huge improvement. She started adding and subtracting without using her fingers and her multiplication tables was coming along smoothly. Her parents were serious about her receiving an education. They would drill her to make sure she knew what she was doing. Within 2-3 months of tutoring, the student was already at a sixth grade level. From starting at a low level at math she worked her way up to the higher level. A few sessions from then we started to incorporate algebra material. To my surprise, she picked up all very easily. Anytime tests were given in school she would be the first to say she understood most if not all the material. Although this student of mine still has a way to go, this particular case has proven that one on one tutoring does work. At the end, she felt confident she was going onto the next grade level. Not only does tutoring help with academic but it also assists with building the confidence level that children need to succeed.
