Hi! im looking for a tutor for my daughter who will be going into the 2nd grade next year. I was thinking Sylvan or Kumon, but ive heard that they are pricey and also tutor in small groups. I think my daughter needs more one on one. She needs help in reading and math. If anyone knows of any good tutors,or have had good experiance with either sylvan or kumon it would be great to know!! thank you!!!
I know my Mom hired a tutor for me when I was young and I think she asked the teacher for a recommendation. You might also check with the local colleges there are always starving students who need some experience teaching (I found I did better with a tutor who was closer to my own age then someone who was older). It seems to me that since they are younger they can find different ways for the child to learn. I am a visual learner rather then a read and then apply. When I was young my dad would do flash cards with me for the math and I could tell that 3+2=5 but that 2+3=5 I couldn’t tell him. He would get upset at me and tell me that it was the same number as the other just in a different arrangement. Now I know LOL! Good luck and hope your little girl will get the hang of it.
