Improve Your 8th Grader's Levels With A Tutor
8th grade tutoring can help your student increase their grades and test scores. Your student will be working one-on-one with a professional who has proven expertise in the subject matter.
The additional time and attention directed towards your student can help them retain more information and increase their comprehension. When it comes to tests, their tutor can give them practice exams and pinpoint the areas that they are struggling with. Then, they can spend more time studying those areas, leading to better performance on test day.
How much does a tutor for an 8th grader cost?
Many factors determine the price of 8th grade tutoring. The best way to determine what you will pay is to reach out for a personalized price quote based on your student's needs.
If your student takes a live online math or science class through Varsity Tutors, it will affect the price you pay. You can enroll them in group tutoring, which would be a different amount than private sessions. They may only need help with one subject as opposed to two or three. The expertise of their tutor also plays into the rate you pay.
How can I homeschool my 8th grader?
Homeschooling can be a challenge at times, especially if you are also working and balancing other life obligations. However, an 8th grade tutor can help.
Varsity Tutors has numerous packages that depend on your personal needs. There are many options available, and all of them result in the same thing - high-quality, personalized education support. Our online classes allow your student to learn in a traditional classroom setting without leaving the house. Online group tutoring allows your student to interact with other students who are learning the same material. Private tutoring is great for students who need a direct one-on-one approach. Let us help you provide your student with a well-rounded education.
Is a tutor worth it for an 8th grader?
Yes - when your student works with an 8th grade tutor, they are learning from someone who can focus on their specific needs. Your student can ask questions and get answers immediately.
They will have access to numerous study resources that were created by experts. Working with a private tutor can increase your student's confidence and self-esteem as they begin to understand the topics that once seemed impossible. Plus, tutoring can help them develop a love for learning. There are pre-recorded lectures and study guides that cover popular 8th grade topics, but nothing beats live tutoring.

Recent 8th Grade Tutoring Session Notes
Today, the student and I covered a grammar exercise about finding the object of a sentence when the sentence is in inverse or passive form. Then, I helped him complete his vocabulary homework. Next, we worked on math homework and reviewed the difference between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. At the end, he finished his history homework.

We covered topics for his science and math final tomorrow. Topics included DNA, plants, kingdoms, perimeter and area of figures. I saw his current grades and his upcoming final dates. The student was quick to answer questions. I did not leave him with extra practice since his final is tomorrow and he has a review in hand that he plans to look over again.

The student wanted help reviewing her chemistry for her upcoming science final. We covered most of the things that she had covered earlier in the year in chemistry which mostly covered the definitions of terms. We also went through her previous tests to look at the problems that she got incorrect. For the last half hour or so, we spent some time reviewing math concepts - how to complete the square and solve an equation, simplify rational expressions, etc.

Today we reviewed for the student's Science test that she has tomorrow. We covered properties of matter, chemical & physical changes, and chemical reactions. We discussed balancing equations, factors that affect reaction rates, fire safety, and electronic configuration of molecules, including the Lewis dot structure theory. In addition to reviewing for the exam, we reviewed types of angles for the student's math class and completed a worksheet.
She seems to do well on quizzes and in class assignments. I did help her create a study guide for her exam.

Today we worked on polishing the introduction to her declamation. She did a great job writing it, and made the appropriate connections without much prompting. I'm hoping doing this will show her how much easier it is to hear the corrections out loud than to read them.
Now that she'll be done with school next time we meet, we're going to work on finishing a grammar workbook we started, and go on to short reading and writing assignments. I'm going to gather a list of short stories for 8th-9th graders that we can read for the summer and do writing prompts on.
