We came across this video of a father and son practicing some self-affirming talk! As parents, the power of our words and our praise are unbelievable! Enjoy their interaction!

The Answer for Teens who are Struggling!
Many of our high school students here at the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville struggle with at least one or two of the issues highlighted in this article! Let's face it, there is a lot of pressure in middle school and high school and our teens can carry a pretty heavy load when we account for their school, homework, friends, church, athletics, performing arts, and all their extra curricular activities!
We have great news for you! We can help with most of these issues! Consider enrolling your student in our Study Skills and Homework Help programs. If your student is on grade level but is having a hard time keeping up with everything, these are excellent solutions for them. It also frees you up to be the parent. No more having to struggle with keeping them organized and trying to help them with homework you probably don't remember how to do!
Our high school students are rewarded by us quarterly for good grades and we monitor them weekly to try and keep them on track. We teach organization and good study habits; we instill confidence and personal accountability; and we encourage them to strive for excellence.
If this sounds great to you, give us a call at 268-8556!

Keep Learning through our everyday Activities!
We are all always learning, but many of us fail to realize just how attentive and eager our children are to soak up more information! As we enter the Christmas season, where it is easy to get sidetracked with all the festivities and excitement, we at the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville want to encourage you to use this time to help your children continue to learn! Cater to their learning style to help them comprehend the world around them.
For example, these hands-on activities really help drive home some learning principles:
And when your children ask questions, do your best to answer them in a way they will understand. And if you don't know the answer, look it up together and that way you both learn something!
- When wrapping gifts, show them how folding in the sides makes right triangles
- When shopping, teach them about sales tax, percentages, estimating, etc - anything to do with money and numbers is great!
- When baking or cooking, let them help you with measurements - they need to know how much a cup is versus a tablespoon!
