[quote=Anonymous]Less than great teachers. Hard subjects. Keeping up with the competition. Keeping up with other students who have tutors. DD now has a STEM doctorate. She was an A student going through school, primarily straight A's. For STEM classes (AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Chem) a tutor was the difference between a mix of A's and B's vs Bs and C's. C's, likely would have meant she wouldn't have pursued STEM, wouldn't have thought it was the right path. Wouldn't have been encouraged. Her two parents are not math/science types, so in many cases, it was also exposing her to mentors and others she could discuss her interests. [/quote]
