As a parent, it can be difficult to know when your child needs extra help with their learning. Your child might say everything is ‘fine’ or ‘okay’ even though they might be struggling with their school work.
However, there are signs you can look out for to see how they are really getting on. Here are a few signs to spot and what you can do to help your child if they’re having a hard time:
It can be a tell-tale sign that your child is struggling at school if they’re hiding or skipping their homework as this suggests they may be falling behind or are bored of their studies. There are several reasons why your child might struggle with their homework including a lack of comprehension, poor study habits, or simply not having enough time to complete their work.
If your child’s grades are consistently low, despite their efforts to improve, it may be time to consider tutoring. Low grades could be a sign that your child is struggling to understand the material or that they are not receiving enough individual attention in the classroom.
If your child is disinterested in their studies or lacks motivation to complete their work, it may be a sign that they need extra help. A tutor can provide the additional support and guidance necessary to help your child become more engaged and motivated.
If your child has a learning disability, such as dyslexia or ADHD, they may require specialised tutoring to help them succeed in school. A tutor who specialises in working with children with learning disabilities can provide the support and guidance necessary to help your child overcome their challenges.
If your child lacks confidence in their academic abilities, it may be a sign that they need tutoring. Your child might get frustrated when you bring up school work. If they are getting more frustrated than usual, there is a chance their confidence has taken a hit. A tutor can provide the additional support and encouragement necessary to help your child build their confidence and succeed in school.
If you notice any of these signs in your child, it might be a good idea to get some support with school from a tutor. Not only can tutoring support your child’s well-being, it can also help your child overcome obstacles in their learning with lessons that are tailored to their needs.
