Husband and wife team Ed Fu and Emily Wang, owners of Tutor Doctor of Central Houston opened their tutoring service to help students alleviate educational stress and build confidence around learning. They strive to improve grades and relieve worries about education by providing at-home, one-to-one, personalized tutoring specifically suited for the student.
The duo knows that it is sometimes hard for parents to know if tutoring will be beneficial for their child, so they have created a list of four suggestions to help
When your child has lost enthusiasm. Many parents deal with students that are doing fine academically but lack the motivation or drive to do well in school. Tutors can be an incredible resource for students that have lost interest in their assignments. The tutors we work with aim to help students find a personal connection with the material they are learning. If a student is able to see why a concept is relevant, they are more likely to understand and appreciate its importance.
When your child is excelling in school. Although tutoring is often associated with helping students who face challenges, many of the students we work with are already achieving academic success. Tutoring is an incredible resource for students already ahead of their game – a private tutor can help these students continue to thrive, as well as introduce advanced topics that may not be covered in their class or grade.
When your child is beginning the college application process. Tutors can be an asset for high school seniors wading through the college application process. As many students know, standardized scores on important tests like the SAT and ACT can be a large determining factor when selecting a university.
When your child is struggling with school. This is the most common reason parents consider getting a private tutor, but the cause is not always due to academic difficulties. Many students lack organization or time management skills, which is why the tutors we work with specialize in building executive function abilities through our X-Skills Program. Other students simply aren’t understanding material because it isn’t being taught in their learning style. We believe each private tutoring session should be built around a customized learning plan that has been tailored to the student’s unique learning style and academic needs.
