Top Ten Signs Your Child Needs a Tutor
I would never admit it. My wife and I used to fight about it. She wanted our kids to have tutors and I would have nothing to do with it.

Huntington Learning Center has these top ten signs that a child needs a tutor.

1)   Your child's teacher or school counselor recommends it. This may happen at a parent-teacher conference. It may also occur when progress reports are issued, or at report card time.

2)   Your child's grades start to fall independent of how hard he or she seems to be working, where before they were improving or holding steady.tutor.gif

3)   No matter how long your child spends on homework, it's neither complete nor accurate. This may indicate a lack of basic skills or a weakness in a specific academic area.

4)   Caught in a cycle of frustration and failure, your child shows an increasing lack of confidence and motivation.

5)   Your child has lost interest in learning.

6)   Your child experiences extreme anxiety before tests and exams.

7)   Your child is reluctant to go to school, fearing failure and criticism from others.

8)   Your child's teacher reports that he or she is acting out, becoming a behavior problem in class.

9)   Your child says, "I'm too stupid. I'll never understand this stuff."

10)  Your child says, "I give up." Or, worse, you hear yourself saying it.

I could have used this list when my kids were little. Then I could have shown my wife that our kids did NOT need tutoring.

I might have won that argument, but I would have still lost....if you know what I mean.

Do your kids need tutoring?

Thanks for these helpful tips.

It's hard to admit that your child needs tutoring services because you feel like you've done something wrong, but that's not the case!

Sometimes it really does take a professional tutoring franchise to help our kids do their best in school.
