Maryville Christian School offers a tutoring program called Students Helping Others Progress (SHOP). The student-led organization meets every Tuesday after school from 3:15 - 4:00. SHOP uses peer tutoring tactics very useful for all children. The goal for this paper is to explain the impact that peer tutoring has and to inspire other schools to open an after school tutoring organization. Peer Tutoring is the style of teaching that is one on one. Tutoring benefits anything from academics, driving, or learning with musical instruments. Samuel L. Blumenfeld wrote a book called How to Tutor. Something that stood out said “ Most parents wait until their child is having difficulty at school before they think of providing some tutorial instruction” (Blumenfeld 10). Most kids, when they find out they are getting tutored, feel that they are not smart enough. That they are failing at school, or that their teachers are giving up on them. Tutors help the child and build relationships.
Building Relationships
The goal for Peer Tutoring, not only encourages the students towards success, but also helps the student succeed, also builds a relationship. Peer Tutoring is beneficial since it is one on one. The child may not feel as scared to not know answers to questions. One to one discussion and

While looking for information on learning disabilities, a website said: “35% of parents have serious concerns about their ability to cope with their children’s learning issues. These parents feel isolated, guilty, stressed, and worried about their children’s future. Thirty One percent of parents have conflicted feelings, they accept their children’s issues, but aren’t sure how to ask for help. Thirty Four percent of parents are optimistic about their ability to cope” (Moran 1). The parents of special needs children will gladly pay for tutoring because of the one on one
Additionally, Brian’s parents may want to send his teacher the results of their tutoring sessions every week to show the teacher what they are doing and how they are progressing and have her check and sign off on the work provided. The teacher could also offer recommendations and suggestions for Brian’s parents in regards to their tutoring work. The actual tutoring would take place twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with the teacher being sent a report on Friday. On Friday the teacher could send feedback home to the parents and over the weekend the parents could review the feedback and develop the next week’s tutoring
SJTAA5007 The role of Teachers and support staff in identifying and implementing interventions that suit children’s individual needs using positive behaviour strategies within a primary setting. For the purpose of this project I will be looking at some of the influences that can impact on children’s social and emotional development as they move through childhood. These can often have a great impact on a child’s learning and ability to make successful transitions at key points in their lives. Difficulties often become apparent within the structured institutions such as schools where large cohorts are expected by society to conform to a certain acceptability of behaviour.
CJ is making progress in all areas of tutoring: executive functioning, reading fluency, reading comprehension, and writing. Outstanding work, CJ! This term, CJ demonstrated a much improved effort in both transitioning and staying on task. While staying on task is sometimes challenging, CJ now understands that it is a skill that is required for academic success. CJ also made strong gains in reading this term; he is now reading and comprehending above grade level!
In the article, “Stop Blaming Black Parents for Underachieving Kids”, Dr. Andre Perry defends the negative comments being thrown at black parents based on their child’s academic success. He expresses his feelings and ideas in forms of anecdotes and factual evidence. He also uses his knowledge as a dean of urban education. In his article “Stop Blaming Black Parents for Underachieving Kids”, published in the Washington Post, Dr. Andre Perry defends black parents’ participation in their kids’ education by providing facts and anecdotes discussing what the parents are willing to provide for their children’s education.
Having a trusting and experienced adult around can drastically change the lives of our children. The benefits of mentoring are countless. Children will have someone to talk and confide in, they will experience a peak in their self a confidence and possibly build lifelong bonds that someone they know care. Many of the children that are bullied lack self-confidence, their self-esteem may become poor and they could possibly become withdrawn. The earlier a child becomes joined with a mentor, the earlier the steps towards a different future comes into play.
I have always enjoyed teaching people and helping them learn so that they can succeed in school. I got involved with tutoring through National Honor Society and the A+ Scholarship Program. With National Honor Society there is many service opportunities that I am able to be involved in and I do as many as possible, but tutoring homebound has always been what I've prefered to do. This is very important to me because many of these students aren't in class to learn directly from a teacher so things can become confusing fairly quickly and I like to be there to help as much as I am able to. Even at times when it is something that I am not proficient in it becomes a learning experience for me as well as the student I am tutoring.
These students must be helped and aided to boost them up to an expected level of achievement. To start the process of evaluating a new education process, we have
As a tutor, I try my best to help others do well in the classes that they struggle in and to me being a tutor is worth it. When I sit in class, I always have a pencil in hand ready to learn and that is why I love education. The Early College Program will allow me to excel in the two things I love, to learn and to help
In this particular study, foster parents tutored a child for three hours a week. The majority of this time was spent on reading with some portion on an online math program. This intervention raised the math and reading comprehension scores of students involved with the study. Getting foster parents involved with improving their child’s studying outside of school could benefit their academic success. This was with a research based intervention which would cost school districts or child services organizations money to
We help them identify that not all strangers are bad. The detachment can sometimes be frustrating to both the parent and the child but with time they get used to it. A child who is always with the parents will always find it difficult coping but our patient tutors will ensure a smooth transition. So how to you realize that your child is ready for preschool? You don't want to take a child to school when he/
As the days progress, there are always new adventures waiting each day. I constantly learn new skills, meet wonderful educators, volunteers, and most importantly, assist children who have the potential and enthusiasm to achieve different goals. My day started on a rainy, Monday morning, no different than any other Monday, so I thought. I traveled to Johns Island on this day; Angel Oak Elementary School happened to be my morning destination. When I arrived, I did not expect any additional duties, other than observing tutors and students throughout sessions.
Simply because we do not speak English very well does not mean that we cannot support our children to succeed in school. We value education, and there is much that we do at home every day. And staying involved in the school to watch over them is an extension of our parental responsibility" (Randy, 2009). This effort shows us some of the parents who care about their children and their children 's education; even if those parents did not speak fluent English, they must provide assistance even a little, whether for their children or teachers. Parental interest in their children makes teachers in enthusiasm and motivation to provide assistance to these
Every learner should be given the opportunity to participate to the economy of the country and by them learning all the time is a way of helping them to achieve this. Children helping to plan their own work will help them to make plans for their own future. Fostering-relationships, many parents feel that education have not supported this fully with children that have special educational needs. Encouraging children to form social relationships is a vital part of the child’s happiness, well-being and prospects.
After completing my sixth grade year, I found myself tutoring once again. This time I looked forward to helping children once again. My tutoring sessions during this summer became easier and more productive for the students than my previous summer. The additional learning experience and hours spent bonding with the students
Therefore, students need to be helped perform at their level of ability in order to succeed. Building a strong parent-teacher relationship will benefit the three participants; the parent, the teacher and most importantly, the child him/herself (Holdaway, 1979). Continuous contact and help from the parents will help the educator relate his/her classroom environment with what the students experience within their home environment. Therefore, this puts the responsibility on all the adults present in the child’s life to ensure that the experiences that the child is facing are helping him/her extend his/her learning achievement (Dombro,
