SOS (Student Over-all Support)
A Fine Tutor offers a unique program entitled SOS - Student Over-all Support. This form of private tutoring includes: studying and organizational skills, homework help, confidence building, time management, test taking, math, and writing skills. This complete academic support system can benefit the gifted student, the student with ADD/ADHD, the student who needs remediation, or the student who is just not working up to potential.
Our program is available to students in grades 2-12. We have been successful because we recognize that each child's needs are different—and we tailor the program to meet those needs. You can be assured that we know, not only the subjects, but what students' learning abilities are at particular grade levels.
Study Skills
Behind every good student is good study skills. Yet, study skills is not a subject taught in school! The first indicator we look for in a struggling student is a lack of strong study skills. It is an area that can be easily remedied once students apply certain strategies and tips. Teaching good study skills will help establish good practices throughout a child's formal education. Parents find it amazing how quickly their children excel academically once they've established proper study skills. The first step is to determine if certain very important guidelines are established in the home and assess each child's study routine in five key areas: time management, organization, learning styles, concentration and memory, and taking notes.
Learning Styles
Knowing a child's particular learning style will greatly assist parents in helping their child and the students ability to learn as students will better comprehend and retain his or her lessons. For instance, Visual Learning children learn words and definitions by reading them over and over again, and "seeing" the words in their heads. Auditory Learning students tend to recite words and definitions over and over again, or have the words and meanings taped so they can listen to them. Kinesthetic Learning students prefer to write out the words and definitions and draw pictures to remind them of the meanings.
Learning Disabilities
Learning problems vary from one child to another, and we can provide strategies and tips that meet your child's unique needs. Children diagnosed with these disabilities can be taught ways to overcome their handicaps, especially when given highly personalized instruction tailored specifically to the needs of that child.
It is our experience that all students achieve greater benefits when tutoring is performed in a one on one setting. This is particularly important for students who do not cope well in crowded, often chaotic surroundings such as their classroom. Individualized tutoring with a program specific to their needs helps restore confidence and enables them to more efficiently reach their full potential.
