Themba Tutors – Offering One-on-One Support in Geometry for High School and College Students
Academic success is achievable in whatever stage your child is at in his or her education, but it is by no means guaranteed. There could be a number of reasons why a kindergarten, high school, or even college aged student might begin to fall behind in their studies. If this happens and is not addressed in due time, the effects can be extremely damaging to the progress and academic confidence of that student.
With a complex subject like math, the effects experienced when falling behind can be even more pronounced. This is due the complicated nature of concepts in upper level maths of Calculus, Trigonometry, and Algebra that are oftentimes difficult to master. This results in students struggling to grasp math concepts, experiencing ever-dwindling confidence levels and a growing feeling of not being able to cope with the academic challenges they face and the possibility of worsening test performances.

- We customize curricula, starting with careful assessments, then applying developmentally appropriate methods and strategies. The student's current academic material is an important focus, but strengthening core skills is crucial because that will last a lifetime. We coach students to learn how to organize, plan, prioritize, focus, avoid distraction, and keep track of materials and tasks.
- Goals include improving memory and information retention, spending more focused time on tasks and completing them, decreasing procrastination, organizing schoolwork, managing time more effectively, and learning to think carefully before acting. Specialists model and support the application of skills in the appropriate context. They put the student in the driver s seat to best generalize these skills without holding the steering wheel.
