Private vs. Public High School and College Admissions Success There is a long-time argument going on between graduates of private and public school institutions. Each has its own list of pros and cons, which makes them unique to the other. We do not know if there is a right or wrong answer, but in this article, we just want to open your eyes to all of the possibilities that come associated with each of these different types of schools. Depending on what you are looking to gain out of education, either of these options may work for you. There are benefits to being in both of these styles of schools and here I am going to talk about them in-depth. Let’s start off with the public school system which is free and offered to all types of children. These schools can be highly beneficial depending on the location of the school. Some districts have better public schools than others due to all sorts of reasons. So, if your child is serious about going to college then it is important to get enrolled in a school that is fully accredited and has strong relationships with colleges. You can make the best out of a bad situation by making sure your child stays on track. The harder they work, the better of they are going to be in the long run. So just make sure they stay humble and grind it out, that is the true key to college admissions success. But also do some research and find the ideal fit for their learning style and dreams for the future. It can really help them get into college and set them up for their best possible life. College is right around the corner the moment they start high school. You do not want to waste any time by having them transfer to different high schools. Get the right fit so that they will not want to quit. Stability breeds excellence both in sports and in the classroom. Plus it is easier to stick with one group of friends over four years as opposed to floating around and going to several different schools. Anything is possible when you do the right thing, so start right now. Read more - https://www.thethickenvelope.com/2019/06/private-vs-public-high-school-and.html What makes a successful tutor? Personalized tutoring fills a niche that can’t be filled in today’s schools alone. Tutoring is becoming more common with blended learning more prevalent in local schools like Summit Prep in Redwood City and San Jose. The Gates Foundation is also getting involved in giving grants to innovative online tutoring companies like Tutor.com and Khan Academy. More and more parents and educators are realizing that tutoring gets to the heart of learning, personalizing the meaning and instruction of the subject at hand. We hire our tutors after carefully vetting them to align their qualifications, characteristics, reference checks and college education philosophy with our vision and values.
And finally, tutors who make learning appropriately rigorous, who make learning challenging enough, but not too tough where students get frustrated and stop trying, the more growth we see in student progress. We found 90% of our students improved their academic achievement as measured by grade improvement, and 71% improved their standardized test scores, with our tutors who were content experts.
