Eighth grade education is often geared toward a singular goal: preparation for high school. During this year, it is crucial that every student masters the presented material in order to succeed in ninth grade. With teachers intent on helping classrooms full of students gain proficiency in these key areas, it can be easy for your child to fall through the cracks. If you are concerned that your child is not adequately prepared for the rigors of high school, or perhaps if your child is eager to attack those challenges earlier than expected, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a tutor who can give your child the opportunity to excel.
Varsity Tutors can help connect you with a tutor whose services can be custom-tailored to your child's specific needs. When you contact your local educational directors, they will construct an academic profile of your student, taking into account factors like his or her academic areas of interest, strengths and weaknesses, learning habits, and even extracurricular activities and personality. Using these criteria, we can help you connect with the best tutor to fit your child's unique portfolio.
Your child's tutor can then develop a customized learning plan to target the areas in which your child most needs to improve. The breadth of material covered in eighth grade can be staggering. Courses often encompass topics in pre-algebra or algebra, English and language arts, history and social studies, and biology or other sciences. The specific skill set emphasized in each class can lead to numerous projects and homework assignments, which can easily compound.
Eighth-grade tutoring can help your child sort through these different expectations and develop the necessary skills to not only succeed this year, but to excel in his or her academic coursework in high school and even college. Whether you are looking for assistance in strengthening areas of weakness, bolstering areas of proficiency, or simply imparting valuable study tactics and organizational skills, a tutor can help.
While improving areas where your child is currently struggling is obviously important, it may be just as important if not more so for your child to learn how to study effectively. Many students entering high school do not really know how to study. A lack of effective study skills can also impact students who did well in middle school because they may not have needed to study to excel in their courses. But for most students, a time will come where they can no longer get away with substandard study skills. A private tutor can help your child identify tips for studying that will help them most. The best way to study is unique to every student, so it is essential that your child learns the methods will work best for them personally.
Private tutors are talented in academia and in communication, allowing them to teach concepts in intuitive manners that your child can remember for years to come. They work to make your students lessons as efficient as possible, while also making them convenient and accessible. They can meet in a cafe after school, at a local library on the weekend, or in your own home in the evening. Varsity Tutors' live learning platform also allows you and your child to meet their private tutor face-to-face online. This provides a lot of flexibility because this means that their lessons can take place at the time, place, and frequency of your choosing. Tutors can offer extra assistance before exams or project due dates, or simply augment your child's education throughout the semester. Tutors also work to accommodate even the busiest of schedules, making eighth-grade tutoring as hassle-free as possible.
