Parents are calling and setting up tutoring appointments almost every day. Math is the biggest draw. Some students just need help because all the work their teachers are piling on is making them overwhelmed.
Academic coaching takes time and energy from the students to improve their performance. A student can't have two coaching sessions and become a great golfer. It takes commitment from both the student and the coach.
Sometimes a student can understand the current material they are learning but the lack of a background of the subject matter can hurt their grades. I like to find out where the student is weak and build them up from that point.
If fractions were a problem in fourth grade, they will continue to haunt the student in pre-calculus.
