Question 4

Why are my student's grades not improving after being in tutoring?

Accepted Answer

This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many different factors that can impact student performance. However, here are a couple things to consider:

1.  First and foremost, it is important to know that tutoring sessions are meant to supplement students' studies, not be the entirety of their studies. In other words, it is essential for both parents and students to know that students cannot expect to excel in classes if they are only working on that content 1-2x per week in tutoring. It is crucial for the student to use the knowledge and skills they gain in tutoring and apply it on their own, independently, outside of tutoring. This is especially true for SAT Prep and ACT Prep. After all, students have to take the exam on their own eventually!

2.   Secondly, it could be the case that the tutor your student is working with is not the best fit for their learning style. We at JB Tutoring strive to always maintain a large team of skilled tutors with a variety of backgrounds, personalities, and teaching styles. If, after a few sessions, your student is not improving, consider trying a different tutor from our team!

3.  Thirdly, there may be something else going on with your student. Sometimes we can forget how challenging adolescence truly is. From peer pressure to hormonal changes to the information overload that is social media...let's be honest, adolescence is not exactly a walk in the park! We at JB Tutoring believe it is of the utmost importance to really check in with our students to see if there might be a deeper reason for their academic struggles beyond simply not understanding content. We encourage you to do the same, to partner with us in this way, so that we can better support your student, academically and just as a young human being trying to make their way in the world.
