10 Reasons Kids Need Summer Tutors-Reason #3

Hi there, Charlie here with reason #3 kids may benefit from summer tutoring.

Reason #3: A teacher has recommended summer tutoring to help a student who needs an academic boost.

A teacher is often the first person to realize that a little (or a lot) of help is needed for a student in addition to what's can be  given in the classroom.  This is especially true in the summer - think about it, a teacher reviews the grade book, and knows a student could do better, but a subject hasn't clicked for them yet.

In this case, you'll often be called upon to help bring the student up to speed for an upcoming class, or even a class that might need to be repeated. 

This is a great opportunity for you as a tutor, because it gives you the chance to not only help a student understand the academic concepts of a specific course, but it also gives you a chance to instill a sense of self-confidence and enthusiasm in a potentially nervous student.
