[quote=Anonymous]Go on an online tutoring platform like Wyzant and find well-performing high school seniors who charge lower rates. Choose one tutor for each major subject, and have your kid meet regularly with each of them to talk through what their class is covering each week, their study plan, when the next quiz is, and when they plan to study. Ideally the sessions would be on the weekend, to lay out the plan for the week. Once your student gets into the habit, they may be able to do this on their own. The student needs to improve organization and executive-function skills as the courses become more challenging in high school. The 8th-grade teachers may be intentionally structuring their classes to highlight areas where students lack organizational skills. The kids that are still in high school are a good resource for the study skills. Best of luck! [/quote]
