Award-Winning Private History Tutoring in Canton, OH

"The student and I finished her history unit and the final two earth sciences labs. She will be done with that class except for the final when she turns in the labs tomorrow morning. She also got a start on the last Gov portfolio of the year. It is about local issues, so she has some research to do. In other news, her grades have shown a huge improvement."

"The student and I focused on organizing her material for her Social Studies class and for her other subjects, including Science, Math, and Language Arts. She has trouble keeping her papers in order and putting them in the right place so that she can reference them for her exams. During the session, she was friendly and receptive to help. At one point in the lesson, I showed her my graduate school class notes so that she could see how notes need to be dated, kept together, and marked in preparation for an exam. After the lesson, I emailed her mother a few practice exams, links to YouTube videos that provide help in history, and a few links to history practice questions. From what I gathered, she tends to do well with multiple-choice quizzes, especially in Science and Math, but she needs help with writing essays. Overall, I was pleased with how the lesson went. She is a bright girl with creative impulses and a friendly demeanor."

"The student and I had our first meeting. We discussed his current grade and what he struggles with. He feels that he is not always clear about what is important, and how to determine what is most important. We will work on note-taking and determining key concepts. We also discussed his year-long project, and we will also work on this during a portion of our sessions."

"The student and I spent the time going over his paper that is due on Monday, including doing a detailed outline of the paragraphs he has not yet written. We talked about where he was on his paper, and then that he could send me his draft and I would look it over before he turns it in. "
