Tips on Affordable Tutoring Help
As kids go back to school, and the controversial practice of outsourcing homework raises questions of whether your kids are learning anything, here are tips on cost-effective ways to get your kids extra help with their homework that will really help them learn, whether she’s having a tough time with math, or he needs extra help writing a report:
1. Friends & Family – Got a professional in your circle? Without my uncle Harry, an accountant, I never would have made it through 11th grade math. Ask around; most are happy to help, and you could foster a relationship that goes way beyond the brackets.
2. Student Tutors – Try posting a sign at your local high school or college campus. You may just find a good match with a stellar student looking to bolster his or her volunteer experience. You can also try to find a match at Tutor Match , a nationwide service for one-on-one tutoring.
3. Virtual Tutors – Get your kids online help (for free!) with Live Homework Help. Expert tutors offer students from grade 4 to early college, help with math, science, social studies and English, via the Internet.
Note: Even if yours is a straight-A student, Oxford Learning says tutoring is no longer just for kids having a tough time. Supplemental home study is the key to help top students get ahead.
