Vicki Daniel, Owner of Richmond's College Nannies & Tutors
It’s back-to-school and a return to busy routines including homework, extracurricular activities and family time. As you prepare your children for learning this year, it time to start thinking about tutoring services. College Nannies and Tutors is a locally owned Richmond-based business that offers customized tutoring, homework help and college prep services. Most kids respond much better to tutors than they do to their own parents when it comes to studying. With your Richmondmom.com savvy saver card, you can even get a tutoring session free with your enrollment.
College Tutors also make it possible for you to have more time with your family and kids doing things you enjoy because you’ll spend less time with the kids stressing over homework. Tutors can improve life for everyone in the family.
They offer a unique way to provide your child with an added advantage when it comes to excelling in school, acing standardized tests, and more.
- College Test Prep is a great way to help kids perform at their best on PSAT, ACT and SAT exams. Don’t wait until the last minute and try to cram it all in. College Tutors make it easier to reach excellent scores by focusing on the most important areas of study for standardized tests. Now is the time to start preparing for the October 4, 2011 SAT/ACT tests too. All test prep students can take free practice exams at the start of tutoring and before the actual test.
- Study Skills are perfect for kids who are frustrated or just don’t have the organizational skills to manage time, prepare for tests, and study. Tutors can take the anxiety out of schoolwork and help kids organize their work and assignments for greater ease in studying.
- Homework Help is a way to help kids complete their homework, especially in challenging subjects like physics, chemistry, and algebra. Some kids just need a little extra help — and tutors can save you valuable time so you have more family time together too.
- And speaking of Math, many kids struggle with arithmetic, geometry, algebra, calculus and trigonometry. Many of their tutors specialize in math and they can really help your student grasp the concepts in their relationship-based one-on-one tutoring.
- Science is easier to understand when one-on-one tutors address individual student needs and customize tutoring accordingly. They know how to make it fun to learn about science.
- Reading and Writing are fundamental and kids who have College Tutors consistently improve in their abilities to do both. It’s amazing what a little help from a professional tutor can do to make school and life easier for your child. Kids who learn to read well do better in every subject.
Tutors as Mentors
College Tutors are great mentors for students too. They are all current college students, college graduates, and teachers who are successful in their pursuit of educational excellence. They love working with students and watching them improve and excel. They have the skills, attitude, and aptitude to make it happen. Mentoring young students is one important way the tutors can help kids succeed in every area of life.Special Needs
Some students have special needs and College Tutors have the training and skills to help. Kids with ADHD or dyslexia can benefit significantly from working with one of their College Tutors. They have tutors with specialized training to work with kids who have learning challenges and disabilities. They know what it takes to help them improve.
Don’t wait until your child is struggling in a subject to seek help. Give your student an advantage early so he can continually improve and excel. And with your Richmondmom.com savvy saver card, the first tutoring session is free with one-time enrollment fee.

Jessica Seinfeld & Bob Greene
Dream Dinners, one of my most favorite places to order my family dinners from in Richmond, has just announced a partnership with Jessica Seinfeld and Bob Greene to share their best-selling recipes and to promote healthy dinners.
From saving time to attempting to get kids to eat vegetables, these two experts are improving Dream Dinners’ already-fabulous reputation for high-quality meals for families.
In the recent Dream Dinners press release, the focus on health in addition to easing family time is addressed:
“The problem for most people is that eating healthy in the New Year usually equates to lots of extra time reading labels and meal planning, and they fall off of the weight loss wagon by March,” said Allen. “Bob’s recipes, like many at Dream Dinners, make it easier to eat better on a regular basis without the hassles. We just print out the calories per serving so our guests can type them into thebestlife.com and match them to their fitness goals.” 
Richmonders may either visit the Woodlake Commons Dream Dinners location and assemble their own meals, or order pre-assembled meals from Woodlake or in the west end for pick-up at The Daily Grind coffee shop in Short Pump.
As always, Dream Dinners is a site sponsor of Richmondmom.com and offers all Richmondmom.com readers 10% off with their Savvy Saver card, request yours free here.
