10 Signs Your Child May Need Tutoring
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Caught in a cycle of frustration and failure, your child shows an increasing lack of
confidence and motivation.
- Your child has lost interest in learning.
- Your child experiences extreme anxiety before tests and exams.
- Your child is reluctant to go to school, fearing failure and criticism from others.
- Your child's teacher reports that he or she is acting out, becoming a behavior problem
in class.
- Your child says, "I'm too stupid. I'll never understand this stuff."
- Your child says, "I give up." Or, worse, you hear yourself saying it.
