In my free time,...

This ability to listen is crucial also for tutoring and understanding a child's academic needs. In working with patients, I also regularly break down tough scientific concepts into every-day language that they can relate to. This is another very important skill to have when...

I scored extremely high through self-guided study and found I learned fun ways to teach some of the tougher concepts. I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

Philadelphia Summer Tutoring FAQ
Each new school year students spend time reviewing and re-learning information that was taught the previous year, but may have forgotten over summer break. Why not find your child a tutor this summer, who can help them review concepts all summer long? This may also be a great help for any of those difficult subjects your child struggled with the year prior. Varsity Tutors can assist you in your search for a passionate, personal summer tutor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Your child’s tutor can work with them at a time and place that works best for your summer schedule, including online.
The last thing kids want to do on their summer break is work on school work; however, Philadelphia summer tutors can make lessons fun and engaging for your student. Your child may review math concepts with fun games or work with their tutor to create their own flashcards. Perhaps your child really needs to keep up on their reading. If this is the case, they can pick out books with their tutor and discuss the chapters read. Tutoring does not have to consume your child’s whole summer break. Just two to three hours per week of reviewing concepts can keep them fresh in your child’s memory enough for use in the upcoming school year. This means they can choose to meet with their tutor just once or twice a week for review help!
Perhaps your child struggled with some new and difficult topics over the course of the past school year. During the summer months they can work with their own private Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, summer tutor going over these areas. Their tutor can provide in-depth lessons on a variety of areas to help your child work through their trouble spots. This allows for your child to receive the help they need without fear of falling behind in class. This also means that their tutor can work with them at a pace that is slow enough for them to be as meticulous as necessary.
The individualized attention from their tutor also allows for personalized lessons for your student. Their tutor can get to know their interests and personality and use this information to design custom-made lesson plans relating these interests to difficult topics. For example if your child is a football fan who struggles with reading, their tutor may find a book about football to help them stay engaged in the lesson. If this sounds like an option you would like to pursue for your child, contact Varsity Tutors today! Our educational directors can help you locate a summer tutor in Philadelphia.
