How to Know it is Time to Hire a Math Tutor
What is the perfect time to hire a math tutor? Is it when you have failed a couple tests and need some guidance to get back on track? Is it when you get water poured on your head in class
because you got so bored that you fell asleep at your desk? Is it somewhere in between? As a parent, you have a lot of decisions in front of you. In a perfect world, you could have the ideal education for your children at all times for no extra expense, but that is not the case with
tutoring. There is a point you reach where you realize that you need to invest more money into your child’s education to make sure that they are getting the full experience that they are entitled to. Finding that point is different for every parent, which is what makes things complicated. I hope that in this article, you can start to see what thought process you might go through before hiring a tutor.
Let us start with scenario 1, which is going to be the student that failed a couple of tests and is
looking to reverse the direction of their grades. In this situation in my family, this was something that would get you grounded. Heck, I do not even think that I would have made it to
the second failure. By the time my mom saw that I did not do well on one test, we would have had a serious discussion about how I am doing in math. A lot of parents have the same access to their children’s grades as the kids, which can be a really scary thought as a student. For me, I
would find out my grades from my mom before I even knew them. Some days, I would wake up and walk out to the kitchen, only to find a printout of my grades with the bad grade circled in green highlighter with the question “what is this?” right after. At this point, it is in the best
interest of the student and the parent to just seek external help. As a student, you can get mom
off your back and get the help that you need. As a parent, you can let someone else take control, so you can focus your crazy on one of your other kids or on your spouse.
Moving to scenario 2, we will look at the student that is way ahead of the game in math. This is someone that is not feeling challenged in class. They might check out in class and procrastinate on their homework more than usual because they do not need the extra help as much as their
peers. At this point, you need to be real about yourself. As a student, you might see this as freedom to slack off because you can be equal to your peers with minimal effort. Instead of this, it is a smarter idea to work to push ahead. You can jump up above your peers and blaze a path that they can only follow. Maybe you need the break. But if you can, pushing ahead will show colleges that you are committed to bettering yourself, something that they find very attractive.
No matter the reason, when you realize that tutoring is an option that might work for you, jump at the opportunity. You can salvage a bad year or push forward to the next level early.
