While PRAXIS Elementary School teachers are dedicated professionals, the average student-teacher ratio in Akron schools is 14.2:1, meaning individual attention can be limited in a classroom setting. Personalized tutoring provides focused, undivided attention that allows tutors to adapt instruction in real-time, move at your child's pace, and use targeted strategies for the specific concepts your student finds challenging.

Elementary students often struggle with foundational skills like reading comprehension, math fact fluency, and building confidence in new subjects. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges through targeted practice, immediate feedback, and strategies tailored to your child's learning style—helping them build a strong academic foundation and develop the confidence to tackle more complex concepts.

During an initial session, a tutor will assess your child's current skills, learning preferences, and specific areas where they need support. This helps the tutor create a personalized learning plan aligned with your child's goals and PRAXIS Elementary School's curriculum, ensuring that tutoring sessions are focused and effective from day one.

Tutors track progress through regular assessment of your child's skills, improved performance on classroom assignments and tests, and increased confidence in specific subject areas. You'll see measurable improvements in areas like math fluency, reading comprehension, or writing skills—with many students showing noticeable gains within a few weeks of consistent tutoring.
