Do I Need A Tutor?

People always want the best for their children, especially where education is concerned. All parents want their children to receive 100's in all their courses, score 1600 on the SAT, be accepted by Harvard and become brain surgeons earning $1,000,000 per year.

Unfortunately, many children encounter educational problems along the way. There can be many causes - overcrowded classrooms, poor motivation, bad teachers, slow development, family problems, etc. But, no matter the cause, the problem must be addressed and overcome immediately.

Your first grader may be having trouble with phonics or your third grader with the times tables. Maybe your seventh grader hasn't been able to keep up since being placed in a gifted program or you're not happy about your fifth grader being placed in resource room. Perhaps you're worried your tenth grader won't do well on the upcoming Regents exams or score high enough on the SAT for admission to a good college. Possibly you'd like to remove your children from school and continue their education privately at home. If your child is having problems such as these, you certainly need help to overcome them.

Of course, some parents try to provide help themselves, particularly if their children are in elementary school or if they themselves are teachers. Unfortunately, this is almost always a bad idea. Why? Because parents and their children are too personally involved with each other and find it very difficult not to let their emotions get in the way. Nothing is more distressing that witnessing a parent and child at each other's throat because the child wasn't able to master a topic right away or because the parent lost patience after trying to explain a topic. No, what's needed is an objective, impartial, professional teacher to explain the topics not yet mastered by the child.
