Tricks in Specific Subjects Tutors can helps your child with specific subjects: Quick mental math, Classics Illustrated books to help the lazy reader get through English, Strunk & White, halogens vs. noble gases in Chemistry, Presidents and British monarchs, songs and poems to remember dates in history, etc. Five Languages What are important phrases in Italian, Russian, German, French, Spanish? How about Bahasa and Kiswahili? A well-traveled tutor can give your child confidence and expand vocabulary and horizons. General Information Does your child need a little boost of confidence? A little review of geography, U.S. History and other useful information (that many schools overlook or don’t include in their curriculum). Quick metric and currency conversions. Does a tutor cost a lot? Not necessarily. You can use a tutor for a short "boost" (two or three lessons) or for an on-going "training" (once a month) to monitor and sustain your child’s progress. Why is a tutor helpful? There are "Seven Intelligences" – Research has shown that traditional tests (like the SAT and IQ tests) measure only two of a person’s aptitudes. Most schools teach analytical thinking using abstract marks on paper. There are at least five other "intelligences", including kinetic sense (the ability to learn sophisticated movements), rhythm and musical memory and structural visualization (3-D vision). Why not teach to your child’s strengths? Johnson O’Connor Laboratory (based in New York) suggests that if an aptitude is not used, the person becomes restless or bored. If your child has a strong musical ability but has problems with math or other subjects, a tutor can use non-traditional techniques to teach the material in a new way. Why not try tutoring? I have learning disabilities including ADD. I have multiple aptitudes. I can show your child how I adapted.

| What do you know? www.whatdoyaknow.com Cultural Literacy: I have an example of a complete program using rewards to stimulate the interest of "unmotivated students." We just need to find some way to catch their attention. I have two students (whom I'm tutoring) who are writing a book, learning another language, doing a science experiment and writing essays about classic tales. How did I motivate these students?
