Finding the Fit

 

Now that schools have become mostly virtual, more families than ever are looking for tutors and private college counselors.  Our professionals at TutorsCCC work one-on-one with students to help fill the void created by the loss of in-person counseling and instruction in schools. Now the question is: how to find the right tutor or counselor? 

​

 

Here are five tips:

​

1. The benefits of private tutoring and counseling

​

One-on-one tutoring and counseling are fantastic resources for many students. Whether you are looking to improve your grades, prepare for standardized tests, or simply dive deeper into material you’re studying in school, a great tutor can help you take your education to the next level. The one-on-one approach allows a tutor to focus on you and your unique learning style. The same personal approach can help a private counselor keep you on track with college admission planning. Overall, by providing an accessible learning environment, private tutoring and counseling create space for students to ask questions, express anxieties, find stability, and seek support.

​

2. Define your needs

​

Do you need tutoring in one subject, or in several areas?   Do you need help learning subject material, or are you focused more on ongoing assistance with homework?   Are you looking for ACT/SAT prep?  Do you only want help with your college application essays?  How frequently will you need a tutor or counselor?   Once you have defined WHAT you want, you have taken the first critical step in your search. 

 

3. Build a budget

​

How much will you budget for tutoring and college counseling services?  Our tutors and counselors work on an hourly basis, with fees differing based on their experience and the demand for their services. At TutorsCCC, we work with you to match the right tutor or counselor to meet your needs and your budget.

 

4. Find your perfect match

​

At TutorsCCC, we have assembled a great team of tutors and counselors. We carefully select our tutors, have knowledge of their track records, and are in regular contact with them.  With TutorsCCC, you can speak to someone who is intimately familiar with all of our tutors and counselors so you get real personal assistance in identifying the best tutors and counselors for your specific needs.

 

5. Pay attention to progress

​

Once you have started working with one of our tutors or private college counselors, be sure to monitor your progress or improvement. Psychologists have learned that monitoring is a powerful force for achievement.  If we can see gradual progress it motivates us to continue our efforts.  The projects of achieving admission to college and succeeding in school both involve intense effort so you need all the motivation you can get!

 

While schools have done as much as they can to provide good college guidance, curriculum, and instruction for their students, many students still choose to seek out private help to enhance their academic experience and support their efforts in the college admission process. It is a good thing that at TutorsCCC we have so many qualified professionals available … and we can help you make the most of the help they offer!
