Get Tutorial Help from Your Student's Teacher
Read your student's math syllabus
Determine when your student's teacher has tutorial sessions
Have your student email his/her teacher to set up tutorial sessions at least 1-2 times a week.
Make sure your student CCs you in the email so you can see that the email was actually sent and the teacher's response.
Ensure your student regularly attends the study sessions with his/her teacher
If possible, ALSO, obtain a home math tutor that can help your student 1-2 times per week.
This is a list of Coweta County teachers that are willing and able to tutor your student after school.
They will charge a tutorial fee, but their assistance is invaluable as they specifically teach the classes your student needs help with.
It is first-come-first-serve, so call them immediately to reserve a spot for your student.
Secret Signals Your Student Can Use to Let the Teacher know He/She is Confused and Needs Help
Secret Signals Your Student Can Use to Let the Teacher know He/She is Confused and Needs Help
Students can sometimes be very sensitive and easily embarrassed about asking for help, because they don't want other students to know that they are confused. They would rather lack understanding and even fail the assignment than be embarrassed in their own eyes.
You and your student need to contact his/her teacher and come up with a secret signal your student can use to let the teacher know he/she needs something repeated during instructional time or to come to his/her desk to give one-on-one help when possible.
Here are some examples:
A winking or blinking when the teacher looks at him/her
Rolling his/her eyes
Rubbing the side of his/her face or head
Playing with his/her pencil
Putting a blank piece of paper on the edge of his/her desk.
Come up with whatever is comfortable and easy to remember.
