Receive personally tailored Honors lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
How can Honors tutoring help you succeed?
Even the best students can use guidance to make progress in school and to prepare for the future. Your honors student is no stranger to years of hard, dedicated work. Many teachers and mentors have encouraged him or her to undertake the most difficult academic tasks, set the highest goals, and strive to be the very best that he or she can be. Now that your child is thus established, do not overlook the ongoing importance of such guidance. Varsity Tutors helps in many areas. Connect with us to help you find private honors tutoring, and your child's advanced academic development will continue.
A personal tutor, selected from among the brightest students and teachers, can provide your child with an energetic and encouraging instructor to help him or her set new goals for studies, reaching beyond the basic outlines provided by a standard curriculum. Personal instructors can evaluate your child's strengths and goals and provide you with an advanced study program that builds on the strong foundation that you have already provided. Your honors tutor can also help your student begin to develop a list of specific goals for the future. Such early consideration can help give your student's current studies much more direction. Likewise, private tutoring can help your student make the most of the general curriculum he or she is studying, helping him or her to focus on the rigors of honors classes.
A tutor can help your child see the connections between the science and math courses that he or she is learning, teach him or her to apply writing skills from literature courses to projects in other classes, and provide other opportunities for developing an interdisciplinary mindset. A tutor can also help your child with organization and time management so that he or she can successfully complete all of the rigorous work that is being assigned in class. Many honors students hold themselves to exceptionally high standards. Working with a tutor can help relieve their anxiety and keep them engaged with the material at hand, creating an environment in which learning is a valuable tool toward future achievement, rather than an immediate burden and source of stress. Tutors can meet with you wherever you prefer, and even online through the face-to-face live learning platform.
Honors students may be more advanced than most of their peers, but that does not mean your child won't face challenges along the way. There is plenty of tough coursework ahead, not to mention stress. The risks of falling behind may be even more pronounced, and you don't want your honors student to lose their high status. Honors courses have their own unique demands as well, so it's important to find the right tutor who can handle the type of work your child is learning. One-on-one tutoring is helpful on any level. An educated honors tutor can help keep your child on pace and ease some of the burden on them, so they will be less stressed and more open to learning without all the personal frustration. A tutor can also help a child to understand what is expected of them, as this can be elusive to some people in an honors program, and be a guide so your child is more assured that they can complete the course.
You are rightly proud of your honors student and want the best for him or her. Help to provide for his or her continued success by finding the perfect, personalized attention that can help him or her excel. Within the convenience of your own home and according to the dictates of your schedule, honors tutoring can aid in providing such excellence for your child. Contact us today so we can help you find the perfect match for your tutoring needs!

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
We spent some time at the beginning reviewing the student's scores in Comm Arts and her recent Spanish exam. She wasn't very forthcoming about why these scores didn't correlate with the full credit homework scores and the amount of studying we did for the exam. We focused the rest of the session on her Comm Arts essay. The student wrote the three body paragraphs based on her teacher's notes from the outline. She wasn't able to locate the introductory paragraph we worked on last session (she turned this in to her teacher, and thinks it's in her mom's email). The rough draft is due this Friday. For our Thursday session, I asked her to list out the sources for the essay, locate the introductory paragraph and move it to the rough draft, and to find two more examples from her book to add to the paper.
我们工作在一个有说服力的论文的初稿she had to write. Specifically we worked on forming her idea into a thesis and then following the rubric the teacher assigned to formulate the first three paragraphs. It was a really great session.
Today the student and I focused exclusively on studying for tomorrow's history test on WWI. I revisited the process of studying before a test with her by walking her through reviewing chapters, answering questions at the end of chapters, thinking about timeline, and quizzing herself along the way. She is becoming much more comfortable stopping and thinking through questions rather than just giving up immediately. I think she will be well-prepared for her test tomorrow.
The student and I spent Sunday evening breaking down the week ahead. We went through each of her classes and found out that she had some pretty big assignments coming up both this week and next. We planned out how she would tackle preparing for some tests and quizzes and made a realistic timeline for getting things accomplished. We then went over goals. The student is to make goals for each day and make sure they've been met before going to bed. She is to share them with her parents and me, so that we can make sure she is staying on track.
Went over last week's assigned organizational work (binders, planner, etc.) Cleaned and organized binders (again), went over school-assigned vocabulary words and taught him that just copying definitions is not the best way to understand the words, and tweaked the format in which he should write down his homework in his planner (more descriptive and more clarity).
The student and I worked on his English homework as well as history. We mostly worked on his English, which he had some catching up to do. We read through the book and worked on his vocabulary.
