ISO tutor and schoolwork organizer

[Anonymous]

Hello,
My 7th grader is falling behind and has become combative when I try to help. Does anyone have an in-person tutor in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area?
Not Mathnasium or other companies as they don’t work on homework assignments. I spoke to them already.
Thank you.

We are happy with our tutor from Ls Tutors. www.lstutors.com.

Your best bet is to get a teacher from a neighboring school as a tutor.

I think you’re looking for something more like an executive function coach for the organization issue.

DH and I are very happy with DS’ executive function coach / tutor. It has definitely saved us familiar battles. DS responds much better to his tutor than he does to my husband or I.

If you send me an email I can send you our tutor’s contact information.

I agree with getting a teacher from a neighboring district. They’ll know the same content.

We had one too years ago withy older DD. Best money we ever spent. Unfortunately, our tutor retried but having someone speak to our DD so we didn’t have to fight about his homework.

There's an MCPS teacher/tutor on Nextdoor for Elementary School.

We've used teachers from neighboring schools. Most resource teachers and counselors will have a list.

Agree that you need different help for organization but our Mathnasium DOES help with homework.

Did you get personal service? We’re trying to decide what to do with our son who defintiely needs some support.

We've had better luck with teachers and not big programs. At the big places we felt more like a number compared to a teacher from the neighboring school who would come to our home.

Me too! We hired a neighbor who teaches high school in the neighboring town. We were so much happier with an individual who knew the curriculum than working with generic people who didn't know how MCPS wants students to answer questions.

Talk to the school; you may be able to get 504 or IEP support.

It’s a long process and not every kid with one of those gets a Resource class that can help with organization.
