I will be more than happy to help your child/ren understand the work s/he is being asked to do in school, whether reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary, science, social studies or math (preferably science and math, my disciplines of expertise, but I’ve taught/tutored it all for over 20 years). School is hard for A LOT of kids, for any of a number of reasons: the material is just plain old difficult or confusing; the foundation has never been laid for this year’s expectations; the student learns.
