It's easy to spark an interest when learning becomes fun! I gained a lot of experience tutoring while in high school - from helping friends with homework to teaching workshops on SAT Math. I've noticed that a lot of students aren't struggling to understand a concept, but rather are struggling...

I believe this would transfer well in communicating with clients. ... Understand the student; then you can...

How can a tutor help you with summer tutoring?
Summer is an exciting time for children who look forward to a break from school and learning. While it's great to allow your child to enjoy his or her summer time, it's also important to consider the dangers of a stagnant summer that doesn't include studying or learning. A summer that only includes recreational activities and doesn't stimulate a child's learning abilities can make it much harder for them to comprehend new lessons when it's time to go back to school.
A summer without educational stimulation can also let a child lose their previous knowledge from school, causing them to need to re-learn subjects from earlier classes. A few hours a week with a tutor during these summer months can do wonders for keeping your child's brain active, knowledgeable, and primed to learn. Students seeking summer tutoring in Portsmouth, VA, can get assistance in locating an independent tutor from Varsity Tutors.
