Middle School

Middle school is a time of transition in all aspects of a child’s life. While they deal with changing bodies and new social expectations, many students put academics on the back burner. However, if students are matched with a thoughtful, experienced tutor, they’ll be more equipped to overcome these obstacles and stay on track.

It’s common to see a dip in grades during the first year of middle school due to an increased demand for strong organization skills and study habits. In addition, students are given more independence and are oftentimes required to move between multiple classrooms throughout the day, manage lockers, backpacks, and binders, and balance an increased homework load. Students also struggle because subject matter becomes more difficult in middle school, particularly in subjects like middle school math. 

Building Organization and Study Skills
Middle school tutors can have a tremendous impact on students at this age, and foster a more seamless transition. Because adolescents can sometimes feel ashamed of slipping grades, it’s important to thoroughly prepare them for important exams and school projects so they don’t fall behind. Tutors can help students prioritize their homework and manage their schedules, helping them ultimately become more confident, independent learners. With an emphasis on time management skills, proper usage of a planner, and effective study habits, students can use this important time to prepare for the increased expectations that come with high school.

Supporting Parents of Middle School Students
Moms and Dads, as much as they love their children, are often disconnected from the academic world. During middle school, students often crave independence and can be reluctant to work with their parents. However, tutors offer a more peer-based relationship that allows students to open up, feel more comfortable, and be more willing to learn and accept advice.
