Support Needed for High School Student Struggling with Grades
Hi, I’m a parent of an Olympia high school student, and I’m reaching out to see if there are any suggestions for helping my child improve their grades. As a single-parent family without additional support, I know there are others in similar situations. I’m looking for advice on affordable tutoring options or resources available to help students succeed. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Hi there! I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing, but it’s great that you’re seeking help for your child. Here are some suggestions that might help improve their grades:
School Resources: Check if Olympia High School offers any tutoring programs or after-school help sessions. Many schools have a peer tutoring system where students can help each other.
Local Libraries: Public libraries often have free tutoring programs or study groups. They can also be a quiet place for your child to focus on their studies.
Community Programs: Look into local community centers or nonprofit organizations that offer tutoring services. They often provide academic support at little or no cost.
Online Resources: Websites like Khan Academy offer free tutorials on a wide range of subjects. They can be a great supplement to your child’s learning.
Study Groups: Encourage your child to form or join a study group with classmates. Sometimes, learning together can make subjects easier to grasp.
Talk to Teachers: Reach out to your child’s teachers for advice. They may be able to offer extra help or recommend resources tailored to your child’s needs.
Online Tutoring: Some online platforms offer free or low-cost tutoring. Options like Wyzant or Tutor.com often have a range of prices, and some offer discounts or free trials.
Accountability: Sometimes just helping your child set a study schedule or checking in on their assignments can provide the support they need to stay on track.
Remember, you’re not alone in this, and many resources are available to help students succeed. Wishing you both the best of luck!
