Benefits of Tutoring

WHY ARE SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS?

Research suggests that quality tutoring can benefit students in a number of ways, including:

Improving student work habits.
By building on the learning that takes place during the school day, tutoring can help students improve
planning, organizing and the way they approach learning, projects
and assignments.

Personalization.

Since instruction is delivered individually, tutoring provides for immediacy of feedback. Reach for the Star Tutoring assesses your child's individuals needs and then plans lessons/coursework accordingly.

More time-on-task.

Tutoring allows students to receive additional help and reinforcement for learning skills and provides additional opportunities to practice the application of information.

Meeting specific student needs.

Tutoring can offer students individual attention to help them learn in different and perhaps more effective ways in a smaller group environment. A tutor also provides an additional academic interaction focused on the individual student.

Reducing non-productive or risky behaviors.

Tutoring offers students a safe, supportive environment after school and can help them make
productive use of their time.

Improving social and behavioral skills.

Tutoring programs can support students develop confidence that helps them in the classroom. They can
become better communicators, make positive social and behavioral adjustments, form better relations with peers, and exercise more effective conflict-resolution strategies.

Increased ability to manage one’s own learning.

As competency grows, confidence in academic performance increases. This is often seen
in a positive shift in attitude toward the content area and school in general.

STAR STUDENT SUCCESS

"Madison" began receiving tutoring from Reach for the Stars in 2013 when she was in first grade. In the beginning, "Madison" really struggled with knowing her sounds and reading. She is now beginning third grade and is an excellent reader. "Madison's" parents were so pleased with how she was improving in school that they decided to be one, of the many, "Comprehensive Curriculum" students at Reach for the Stars. "Comprehensive Curriculum" students attend between 2-4 tutoring sessions per week and are working toward higher level skills. For example, "Madison" attends 3rd grade at a public school, but because of her abilities she is now working on 4th grade level work in most subject areas. "Comprehensive Curriculum" students must meet strict criteria for this advanced coursework. Congratulations "Madison" for being a STAR STUDENT SUCCESS!!

CHARITY OF THE MONTH:

Reach for the Stars Tutoring is a Christian based company that is dedicated to giving back to those who are suffering. Each month, 10% of all sales will be sent to an organization called US Dream Academy. US Dream Academy is a non-profit organization that provides tutoring and additional programs to children who are poor and either have a parent who is incarcerated or was incarcerated. Statistically, children who have a parent who is incarcerated or was incarcerated are up to 80% more likely to repeat that same pattern. US Dream Academy is working hard to reduce those outcomes. As a believer in Christ, all we have really belongs to the Lord. I encourage each of you to seek God's will for where He is calling you to give, whether it is of your finances, your time, or both.
