Parents, a chronic struggle with reading, writing or math may indicate a learning challenge or learning style that requires us to go Beyond Tutoring. Resentment, frustration, avoidance and anger may be your child’s attempt to communicate an inability to successfully perform the various tasks being asked of him—possibly struggles that are the result of a specific learning challenge that is beyond the control of the student. Even poor classroom participation or constant battles over homework may be more than a matter of improving attitude or self-motivation.
More and more, many intelligent students simply do not respond to the standard teaching model. Children exhibiting symptoms of Dyslexia, ADHD and other learning challenges often experience significant difficulties with standard teaching methods. Even with one-on-one tutoring, special education (resource) classes, a 504 or IEP, and other remedial measures, too many children fail to thrive in school today.Our educational system, our culture and our environment have all undergone tremendous change in recent years. Life in the 21st Century seems to be placing more and more demands on adults and children to adapt and change.
