Jacksonville Jaguars Gameday!

The Tutoring Club Jacksonville is full of sports fans, especially fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars!  We are so excited to be part of this NFL community and can't wait to see our team play tonight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!  Our students will benefit from Jaguars games as we will tie contests to scores and events of the games to learning in our center!  So be sure to watch and/or attend games and be involved in what's happening!  It's going to be a GREAT season!

"Apparently..."

This has to be the cutest news story presented this week!  "Apparently" is a pretty big word for a child this young to use, and apparently he uses it a lot in his day to day vocabulary!

We have kids this hilarious at The Tutoring Club of Jacksonville too, we just don't film the funny things they say and do!  Clips like this are a reminder of how precious children are, and how they repeat what they hear! Take time to appreciate the sense of humor in your child today!

Be a Parent who is involved in your child's education

Research overwhelmingly shows that parent involvement in their children's learning is directly and positively related to achievement. Unquestionably.  At the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville we also are involved in your child's learning, and we are your partner in their education achievements!

The Duval County Public Schools website has excellent resources for parents.  It also reinforces the premise above with words and tools.  Read the excerpt below from www.duvalschools.org:

There is nothing more important than your child and contributing to their achievements. Become a player.

Make time each day to be a part of your child's educational and social activities. Help your child study. Make sure they complete and understand their homework. Review the work they are doing. Play a game, watch television or read a book together. Know your child's friends. Learn what motivates your child, in and out of school. Help your child set goals and measure their progress. Praise achievement. Talk with your child every day. Talk to your child's teachers about any teacher conference concerns before they become a problem.

Mandarin High School Marching Band

The Tutoring Club of Jacksonville is delighted to give a community shout-out of support to the Mandarin High School Marching Band.  Many of the Marching Mustangs have been students of ours for Tutor Up learning (for advanced subjects) and SAT Prep.  We admire this talented bunch of students!

If you live in the area or are out and about and near Mandarin High School, you can hear the Band playing in the Courtyard from 8:30-9:00 pm, Tuesday and Wednesday night this week, practicing the music they are learning for the amazing halftime show for this season!

At the Tutoring Club, we say "Hail to the Band"!!

Rewarding hard work and achievement

At The Tutoring Club of Jacksonville, we reward all our students for hard work and achievement.  We reward good attitudes.  We reward manners.  We try to find any positive aspect during our precious time with our students to make this a place they come to learn, feel accomplished, and look forward to returning!
We are launching some creative ways to incent our students even more by enabling them to earn extra tokens!  Be on the lookout for those announcements and always encourage their efforts here at the Tutoring Club.
