College students abruptly enter a ramped up academic and social life without the family and school supports they’ve always lived with. Total freedom can be jarring. And, some students need a tune-up or a rev-up of critical reading, writing, math, and study skills that they didn’t need in high school.
- Students need clear, effective instruction or practice from a subject expert.
- Educators need to discern where the student needs help and how to re-teach or fine-tune skills.
- Educators have to communicate and explain material with crystal clarity.
- Tutors have to prepare and rehearse students for their high stakes quizzes, tests, and papers.
