Academic Skills - Skills for School Success

WE CAN HELP KINDERGARTENERS THROUGH 12TH GRADERS MASTER THE SKILLS NEEDED FOR SUCCESS.

If you have a child who is struggling in school, Huntington can help. Our experienced tutors can help children in all grades, K-12, master the basic skills necessary to succeed.

What are Academic Skills?

These are the basic skills needed to succeed in school. Whether your child is just starting kindergarten, entering middle school, or close to finishing high school, he or she needs the fundamental skills of reading, study skills, math concepts, and math computation, as well as the more basic skills of phonics, spelling, and vocabulary.

How do I know if my child lacks Academic Skills?

There are many possible signs that your child needs academic help. They could occur at any time in your child's school career. One common thread is when you repeatedly see inappropriate behavior or when your child's teacher repeatedly expresses concerns about your child. Here are some possible signs.

  • Your child tries to do homework, but never seems to finish it. He often has difficulty preparing for tests or writing that term paper, or repeatedly does poorly on tests or gets poor grades.
  • Your child often refuses to do homework, acts out in school, daydreams in class, is unruly at home, is disrespectful towards others, or is a discipline problem.
  • Your child continually seems to be missing the confidence or motivation to do school work or homework. He typically gives up easily or frequently does not want to try.
  • Your child's teacher repeatedly expresses concerns about his or her ability to succeed, says important school skills are missing, or wants him or her retained.
  • Your child has been placed, or may soon be placed, in a special education class or similar kind of class.
  • You've been told your child has a learning disability.
