Is your child getting enough help in school? Today’s students have a lot on their plates. Children attend school, participate in extracurricular activities, and spend time with friends and family. At times, children can become overwhelmed and need extra assistance. When it’s time to look for outside help, online tutoring like that offered by Growing Stars can be the answer. Here are five signs that it’s time to find an online tutor for your child.

1. Slipping Grades

If your child was once doing well in a subject and is suddenly struggling to achieve a passing grade, it’s time to communicate with his teacher. Your child’s teacher can explain to you exactly what it is that your child is having difficulty with. You can then use this information to find the right tutor for your child.

2. Poor Time Management

Your child may work well under pressure, but most children do not. If your child persistently puts off homework or projects, especially in one subject, to the last minute, it could be a sign that he is struggling. Online tutoring can not only help your child grasp a subject, but a tutor can also teach your child about time management.

3. Constant Confusion

When you were in school, was there a subject that you just didn’t “get”? Your child could very well be dealing with the same issue. Whether it’s reading, math or science, your child may need one-on-one attention to help him or her grapple a tough subject that just isn’t possible in the classroom setting.

4. No Confidence

If your child has struggled in the same subject throughout school, he will undoubtedly have lost confidence in his abilities. It is a sort of vicious cycle that young students go through, and it can affect more than just his or her academic success. A tutor can tailor instruction in a way that helps your child understand a difficult subject and, through that new understanding, build your child’s confidence.

5. Your Busy Life

It’s not unusual for parents to take on new responsibilities or additional commitments. When this occurs in your family, you have less time to dedicate to homework help. An online tutor can take the place of Mom and Dad, helping your child with homework on a daily or weekly basis.
