Congrats! When it comes to academic performance, you can rest easy. Your student is flourishing at school. Your student confidently and independently manages school, projects, and homework! Yay! Your student is motivated and self-driven to do well in school.

However, successful students need to feel challenged and motivated to learn and grow, or they easily become bored and apathetic at school. Even the best students may struggle with study or test-taking skills. If that sounds familiar, check out some of our tips & strategies! Continue to keep an eye out for academic areas that would benefit from support as many high achieving students are uncomfortable asking for help until it's too late.

Needs Performance Improvement

{result rank #2 title} {result rank #2 percent}

Your child is struggling to understand concepts at school and isn't mastering all the skills he/she will need for the next school year.

When students have weak reading skills, reading at their current grade level is TOO hard, and they shy away from practicing it! And it becomes a vicious cycle since reading is the critical foundation for all subjects. Your student would benefit from a full reading, phonics, vocabulary, and writing assessment to identify and fill in ELA gaps. Students with math gaps struggle to master new math topics and skills, which progressively build on prior concepts. Your student would benefit from a full math skill assessment to identify and address those issues before it's too late. Each grade gets harder, and the earlier you get your child academic support to fill in those critical gaps, the better! Every moment that you linger and "wait-and-see," the more new skills that your student will struggle and fall behind.

Needs Confidence Boost - A high dosage and customized tutoring plan allows a student to reset the a baseline to one that is more manageable to him/ her. S/he will then be able to learn the materials at his/her own level and pace to master academics--this builds confidence and eventually motivation!

Needs Uplift On Performance, Confidence, and Motivation

School seems like a daily struggle for a student with low or erratic grades. Your student lacks confidence and needs a lot of help and encouragement to go to school, do homework, and read or do math. Homework rarely gets done without a lot of intervention.

No quick & easy solutions here, but rather a commitment to prioritize fixing the issues one step at a time. We recommend starting with confidence: go back to the skills in time when the student felt comfortable with what he/she is working on, so that he/she can regain the confidence they had when they excelled. Then, we work steadily on filling skill gaps and going over missed concepts so that the student develops motivation as they see their own progress. Family should work together to prioritize the academic support to turn things around. If structured and executed properly, it is possible to achieve an improvement of 2 - 2.5 grade levels within a 5-8 months time frame. Some of the extracurricular and sports activities might need to be rescheduled or suspended in the meantime, but this is one of the key incentives for students to focus and to perform well in school.
