Tutoring Shouldn't End in High School

Tutoring is often considered a remedial activity. Yet, in reality, it consists of more than reviewing new material and solving problems. ALB practices holistic tutoring: helping students understand areas of weakness and strength while guiding development and maturation. Tutoring is more of a mentorship than instruction. Students learn to develop, practice, and apply skills that help them feel more confident and succeed, achieving goals and results.

High school students often collaborate with tutors, only to embark on their own once arriving to college. If the support was productive in high school - an arena in which students are already comfortable and whose standards they understand - why should it stop now when students could benefit from it even more?

During the first years, college is full of new, challenging, intimidating, and distracting stimuli. Collaborating with a tutor can help manage and adapt to this new environment.

ALB Tutoring works with both new and continuing students in college. Alessandra helps establish and organize new routines - hello free time in college schedules! - create study habits, and maintain health and wellness.

College is a time for developing independence, self-advocacy, passion, and a relationship with oneself. Although it may look like fun from the outside, it is not always a stellar time.

Guiding and supporting college students through their new, adult experiences is like teaching a child to ride a bike with training wheels. Slowly, as the child gains confidence, they begin to pedal on their own without the training wheels. The same thing with these growing young adults! However, it is important that they do receive guidance in order to thrive.

All young adults can benefit from this type of support. Contact ALB Tutoring to help your student learn better.
