Tutoring and study guides tips
Most high school students are able to cope with the rigor of in-class instruction. However, there are always cases when in-class teaching is inadequate - perhaps because the teacher is inexperienced, the class is not well organized, or the material is too difficult to digest.
Several tips can help you address this need.
Study groups. One of the most effective techniques is to have your student team up with 2 to 3 close friends in school who have approximately the same academic standing and also want to improve their performance. Simple tricks like dividing content among group members, with each member taking ownership of creating index cards that can later be shared with others in the group, and role-playing as an expert in the topic area to "teach" the other members can be extraordinarily effective.
Tutoring. If you're already a Rao Advisors client, you are a member of our WhatsApp group of parents. Post your request for a tutor and receive a direct message from another parent who has vetted a tutoring resource. This service is only available to Rao Advisors customers.
Online tutoring. Websites like Gopeer.org and Wyzant provide online resources for a small subscription fee. These resources can be beneficial when you are coming up against an exam and want emergency assistance.
Study guides. Books and exam prep packets from companies like Ultimate Packet are helpful in summarizing key concepts taught throughout the year.
