Many students and parents are determining they need some extra help this year. There are a lot of options when it comes to tutoring. Getting extra help from the teacher or professor directly is typically the most useful, however, there are many benefits of private tutoring in Beachwood, OH.
For instance, having information explained in a different way from a fresh perspective can often be just what the student needs. Oftentimes, a teacher who has been teaching the same material over an extended period of time can fall into a routine and become somewhat detached from how students are receiving it.
Also, as we know, students are very individual in their learning process. Sometimes the way the material is presented in class is just not getting through to your student. Having a private tutor to answer questions can help your student feel confident about their progress and less frustrated during class time.
At Academic Coaching Specialists, we provide professional tutors who are experienced in their field and in education. This provides a good combination to optimize the student’s learning. Our tutors are excited to work with students to help them feel more in control and see the positive outcomes their guidance can provide.

Academic coaching can provide your son or daughter with the skills to be a better all-around student.
More than just help in one subject, coaching provides one-on-one guidance with things like time management, turning things in on time, getting and staying organized, thinking and planning proactively, and much more. Here are just a few benefits an academic coach from ACS can provide your student this year:
1. Increased confidence
Working with a coach provides direction and assurance that what they are doing is correct. When an athletic coach provides instruction, correction or encouragement, the athlete responds with a renewed understanding of what is to be done. The same can be applied to academics. When students feel in control of their learning their confidence will increase naturally.
2. Better Grades
Confidence alone will not produce better grades. Understanding of how to prepare for exams, write papers, and complete projects effectively will. These are the things an academic coach will help a student with. Of course, once the student begins to see positive results in the form of grades, the confidence cannot help but build.
3. Develop Self-Discipline
Working with a coach will allow the student to see where they need to be more accountable. Over time, the coach works to create new habits, which will help them grow into a more self-aware and responsible student. Delayed gratification and self-reward can be powerful tools to demonstrate the skills needed for academic (and life) success.
4. Help with Goal-setting
So many opportunities are in front of our students that they may not be able to see or decide. The thought of making decisions that affect them long-term can be scary and anxiety-producing. An ACS coach will guide them through setting their goals; from the everyday to-do’s to the career path. These are all interconnected and they must start to see relationships between what they do today and how it will effect their tomorrow.
5. Improve the quality of study time
Students are the first to admit, either they never had to study to get by, or they never really learned how to study. Re-reading chapters and making mindless notecards are not the most efficient or effective ways to prepare for tests. An academic coach will teach strategies and techniques that will prepare the student for whatever type of test they face.
6. Reduced Stress
Feeling in control reduces stress naturally. Knowing that they are fully prepared for a test or project allows them to walk forward with confidence. Organization of materials and proper incremental preparation can be all that is needed to bring stress levels down and restore peace of mind.
