Everyone needs assistance at some point in his or her life. Sometimes, a person needs assistance with practically everything in his or her life. However, just because someone needs and asks for assistance does not mean they have failed.
On the contrary, the more help you have, especially from knowledgeable individuals and subject matter experts, the more likely you will be to succeed at whatever task you are accomplishing. Just like how even Olympic-level athletes have coaches to succeed, you should get one to do better in school, because there is always room for improvement.
School is often like that. Every student has school subjects they excel at, and some they need assistance with. It is common that students will seek out math help, for instance, from online sources like WolframAlpha and Khan Academy, and from school tutors and peers.
The ability to ask for assistance, and to use such assistance constructively, is practically required in order to accomplish any difficult task.
Student coaching can be the advantage that your child needs in order to finally understand a math lesson, or a scientific process, or the use of specific grammar and syntax in a writing style. An informed second opinion can be the difference between a student succeeding in a class, and not.
The second benefit, besides being able to do well in school, is that being more prepared academically lowers your stress and anxiety level. Students who study and really know the material are calmer on tests, write better papers, and generally do better in school. They receive higher grades and are more satisfied with their schooling experiences.
This benefit “snowballs,” affecting other facets of a student’s life. Like a snowball rolling down a hill, getting bigger and bigger, your study habits will become bigger, having a greater effect on all your studies.
The better a student does in his or her school subjects, the better he or she will do on standardized tests and university entrance applications and exams. The better a student does in university, the calmer and more capable he or she will be throughout his or her higher education career. This may be the difference between being able to successfully apply to graduate school in the future, or not.
Regardless of your life plan, it all starts today. Once a student maps out his or her life trajectory and is able to understand all the steps required to be successful later in life, he or she will ultimately learn which school subjects he or she needs to succeed in.
However, if a student is not doing as well in a school subject as he or she wishes, hiring a subject tutor, college planner, or student coach, can be a great idea.
