Math Tutoring With Miss Stefany

Teenagers often have a hard time asking for help when they need it, and to make it worse, they need regular guidance to get things done. For these students, a once or twice a week session with a tutor can help ease the pressures they face with their school work.

​

To make this arrangement the most beneficial for the student, teacher/tutor communication is vital. Sometimes textbooks and assignments can be made available to the tutor ahead of time, to give her time to prepare for the student's sessions. If study guides are available, a test prep session can be an invaluable asset for the student. 

High School is the time of SATs and ACTs, Work Keys, and other college entrance exams, on top of the regular course load of testing. Parents and students can put their minds at ease with a well planned study program that provides the student with corrections and exercises designed to improve their scores and build confidence in their achievement.

 

No specific score or improvement is guaranteed, but every student who uses this program makes improvement based on their own efforts and dedication.  Students should be prepared to spend at least an hour with their tutor and 2-3 hours per week on their own, studying and preparing for the test. The shortest program length is 3 months, but can be extended for students who need greater gains. 

So many students fall through the cracks. K-8 seemed to be going well, but then high school starts and it feels like Mission Impossible! These students need a little more than just help with their homework and study guidance for tests. They have some serious holes in their understanding and need some one-on-one attention to be able to successful accomplish their education.

​

The typical recommendation for students at this age is 2-3 days per week, for at least a year. It's not easy to catch up, and takes hard work on the part of the student as well as the tutor, but it is possible. The program will start with a basic assessment and then a tentative 10 week plan. If the first 10 weeks go well, then a more detailed plan will be made with the student's goals in mind.
