Let your child set the pace


Pinecone Learning Center is a learning center in San Jose, which is well known for its dedicated tutors and their systematic work schedule. They have a math program and a reading program which has been designed to cater to every child’s unique needs. It progresses upwards in terms of difficulty. Your child will be evaluated and then the decision will be made on which level he or she will start. Do not get disheartened if your child is starting at a lower lever than his/her peers. It is better to start the child at a level he/she is comfortable in to feel a boost in confidence.

Some children may not have gotten their basics right and the tutors would prefer to spend some time addressing this before tackling more complicated levels. Do not compare your child’s work with her/his peers as the experienced tutors at Pinecone believe in letting the child decide the pace. But you can be rest assured that your child actually understands what he/she is learning and will start to enjoy the subject. You will see the results very soon as the grades start rising.

Visit their websites atwww.pineconelearning.comand www.mathtutorsbayarea.com . You can call the owner and principal tutor Vivian Hobbs at (408) 270-4548 to fix an appointment.

Overcoming learning disabilities

Learning disabilities are prevalent among 10% percent of America’s school-age population. The problems are multidisciplinary in nature where children have problems in academic achievement and progress and show an uneven pattern of development. This can be overcome, but requires that the teacher, parent and child be on the same page. The early signs of learning difficulties which can be detected are problems with reading, understanding math/arithmetic problems, writing, comprehension and reasoning abilities. If you suspect that your child has a learning disability, arrange for testing and evaluation to find out the degree of the problem. You can then think of enrolling him/her for extra tutoring classes, that can help in strengthening basics and improving grades.

Homework Blues

Has your child been finding it difficult lately finishing her homework everyday? Homework and studying can put kids in a bad mood, not because they don’t like it per se but because they find it difficult to understand the subject and implement it on paper without anybody’s guidance and help. As a parent, you can only do so much and getting worked up with your child during study time is not going to solve the problem. With patience, empathy and planning you can chart out a plan that works for you and your child or instead you can opt for school tutoring classes that are designed to help your child enjoy studying in a constructive way without losing sight of the basics of concepts and theory.
