I Was a Student Who Struggled

When but a very young youngun I moved from a private school to a public school. This caused me great difficulty. Somewhere along the way it was completely different, I no longer understood, and I couldn't find the help I needed. I would fight with my mom about homework, I would throw fits about going to school, and I wanted to be an elementary drop out with everything that was inside me. I didn't drop out, but I struggled for three long years. It wasn't that I wasn't capable of grasping the missing links, it was merely that no one was there to show me. It was an awful feeling. These were in the days before tutoring was provided in nice neat business models. Luckily I had a teacher that was able to spend one on one time with me. Mrs. Veenstra opened the door to a love of learning. All it took was a little extra time. The same thing that a tutor could do.

Now I am a mom. Albeit he is only fourteen months right now. I am still thinking about the things that matter in life. One of these things is having a love of learning, which can only happen if he understands. A tutor can help a struggling child, help them catch up and get ahead. They can open the door to loving to learn. It is as simple as that.

Math Tutors are just as important as other tutors. They can help open those doors and keep learning from being a horrible struggle. It is as simple as that. If your child is struggling, seek help today. It could make all the difference in the world.
