Are You Struggling?

Are you struggling to complete your work? Unhappy with your grades? 

I can help you, but before I step in, make sure you are doing all you can.

First:

Make sure you are working about 1 hour per day on each subject. Time yourself, set a schedule. Think about what you would be doing in a regular high school and create a class schedule for yourself.

Example Schedule:

8:00 - 8:50 - English

9:00 - 9:50 - Science

10:00 - 10:50 - History

10:50 - 11:00 - PE

11:00 - 11:50 - LUNCH

12:00 - 12:50 - Math

1:00 - 1:50 - Elective Class

+ approx. 1 hr. of homework give or take. 

Don't get bogged down in any one subject. 

If you can't complete an assignment after an honest 50 minutes worth of work, STOP, take a break and go to the next subject. 

Remember, I can see through Launchpad exactly when you sign on, and how much time you are keeping your assignments open. If you aren't signing in every day and attempting to work on each subject, there is not much I can do. 

Second:

Consider working at one of our tutoring centers. There are tutors and other students there that can help. Consider going to the library or a coffee shop to work. Sometimes just getting away from home can help.

Third:

Call the homework helpline if you get stuck on a problem. 

If you are doing ALL that, and you still are struggling, I can work with you one on one to help you succeed. We can set online tutoring appointments on Fridays, or you can come out to Livermore to the library for face to face sessions. I can also modify some of your assignments, if needed.
