It’s time to Finish Strong!

With the break of winter, distractions abound. Flowers bloom, spring sports begin; we feel the warmth of the sun and think summer is just around the corner. But, before we reach summer we have to finish the school year and finish it strong.  With only a couple months left and SOL’s in May, it is important for students to stay focused on the end game.

As parents we need to ensure our students don’t fade during the final weeks of school. Now is the time to review the rules set at the beginning of the school year and make adjustments as necessary. With extra daylight and increased activities, it’s easy for homework to fall by the wayside, so sticking to a plan and schedule becomes more critical than ever.

Making sure your student is getting enough sleep and setting adequate time aside for study will help them stay on top of tests and projects. If your student is moving into the danger zone with grades, homework or focus, consider one-on-one tutoring to ensure a strong finish to the school year. It’s not too late to turn a C to a B or a B into an A. At College Tutors, we focus on each student’s individual needs; we create a statement of goals specifically for each student and develop a plan to help them reach those goals! And since College Tutors does not have a contract or a registration fee, you pay only for the services needed whether that’s homework help, test prep or improving subject-specific grades.

If standardized tests are on the horizon for your children, help them alleviate anxiety by utilizing practice tests. Any preparation or practice tests will make students more relaxed and confident on test day. Confidence going into the test is often the make or break factor in the test results. Taking timed practice tests can be especially effective preparation as it is often the stress of being timed, not the content, that produces anxiety.

High school students face AP tests and high school juniors are preparing to take the SAT or ACT exams. Spring of junior year is the best time to take the SAT/ACT test for the first time as it increases chances for early admission!

College Tutors offers a free SAT practice test on April 20.

The end of the school year is a very popular time for additional tutoring and tutors’ schedules will fill up fast. Be sure to get your child the help they need to finish strong.
