Get help for your child

Not everyone is born with the same ability or intelligence. Some children may need extra help to grasp what is being taught. Very often parents for various reasons are not able to provide this additional help. It does not mean that the child cannot receive it. It is totally acceptable and very often helpful to arrange private tutoring or supplemental program help for your child if you find that your child could use it. Many things taught in school are quite difficult to follow if a child has not understood the basics in Math or English. These two subjects are the stepping stone and fundamentals to every other subject and a good knowledge of both will go a long way in helping children do well in most subjects that follow.

These are the two areas in which Pinecone Learning Center provides help at their tutoring center in San Jose. The Math program is designed to achieve mastery of computational skills. Mastery equals confidence, speed, and accuracy. The reading program includes an early comprehension series designed to promote reading for meaning. They have now opened a new tutoring center in Los Gatos.

Prepare your children for exams


Most school systems are exam based, and it is therefore important to help your child learn how to prepare for the tests that they will face. At the end of the day, results do matter. When children are selected for further studies results are compared. How many units you have achieved helps decide which course you get into and at which university. Yes, extra curricular activities do help in the all around development of a child, but an ability to do well in examinations is also important.

Sending your child to a tuition center could go a long way in helping them get ready where studies are concerned. A good tuition center has qualified teachers and provides holistic training. They give attention to every child’s unique needs. The teaching at a good tutoring center should be consistent and graded. Pinecone Learning Center, a tutoring center in San Jose has all these excellent qualities and has helped many children in San José. They are now planning to extend their expertise to the children in Los Gatos where they have opened their new learning center. It is located at 987 University Ave., #20, Los Gatos, CA 95032

Benefits of private tutoring

A one-to-one lesson is always more beneficial than a 1-to-15 or 1-to-20. A one- to-one lesson caters to an individual child’s needs and is changed and increased or decreased according to a child’s ability. There are many benefits to private tuition.

1. Students are more confident as a result of private tuition.

2. Students quite often are ahead of their peers as they understand faster with the individual attention given them.

3. Students understand their foundation skills better and this helps them do better in other subjects.

4. Work and study is regular and this routine helps them stay focused.

A good reading program in a tuition center helps overcome the various challenges in the use of the English language. Children need to know oral and written English as English is the most widely used medium of communication in the world. Students need to be able to compose in the English language. Children should also be taught how to comprehend the written language. Pinecone Learning Center, a tutoring center in San Jose has a great reading program which helps children in all these areas.

Make sure that your child learns the basics

A child is expected to understand the basics of Math and English before she/he leaves middle school. Many schools do not test the abilities of a child until a much later age, and so children who have not understood the basics find it very difficult to cope with studies later. Parents should keep an eye on the progress of their child and meet the teacher once in a while to find out how their child is doing in school. If you feel that your child needs help in Math or English, it is better to provide it now than try to rectify later.

Check out the reading program and math program that Pinecone Learning Center, a tutoring center in San Jose and now in Los Gatos have created to help children go through graded levels in both subjects until they understand the basics. The lessons are designed to cater to every child’s individual needs, and only when a child gets through one level will he or she be progressed to the next. This helps the tutor, the child and the parent to be aware of the progress being made.

Children from Pinecone Learning Center have done very well academically and Ms. Hobbs, the owner and tutor has been recognized as one of San Jose’s finest tutors.
