Extra Credit: After School Tutoring!

Hello All!!!

Well, I have had an eventful week and wanted to share some exciting news with you all. Like I stated before, I work as a tutor Coordinator in an elementary school. This past week, I was pleased to accept an additional position as a tutor in the Champions program! I am beyond excited about this opportunity and would love for you all to take a look at the program website! The link is listed below

How does this tie into my blog topic you ask? Well, as I have been working in different elementary schools the past few years, I have noticed things. One in particular is the fact that there are tutoring programs readily available to students and these programs are not being accessed to the fullest potential. I state this because there are constantly students who struggle with keeping up in class or with a specific subject. I know it is hectic for parents to sit and do homework with their children everyday, especially if they have more than one child or work duties to handle after hours. The point I am trying to make is, if there are programs available to help your student learn and complete assignments from school, possibly putting them ahead in class, why would you not take advantage of it? Now, some programs require a cost but some are free of charge so there is no excuse. My hopes are that more parents will take the initiative to place their children in after school tutoring programs to help along their schooling. Yes your children will get the opportunity to play and burn off some steam after school if that's what you're worried about...but they will be sure to complete all of their studies before they step a foot on the playground!!! Please if you have children or know of friends that do who might need some extra assistance, look into the after school tutoring programs in your area!

Until next time,
Miss Crystal
