The additional time and attention directed towards your student can help them retain more information and increase their comprehension.

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.
