Dear Parents, these back to school tips would make life easier for you & your kids!!

As a parent, we all want the best for our kids to the extent of paying whatever amounts required for that quality and standard education! Just recently, a six-year-old girl was reportedly seen wailing just because school was about to resume last week to the point of almost falling ill. Dear parents, avoid issues like this, this is a must read (point 2 is so obvious!).

1. Understand children learn differently. Don’t set unrealistic expectations! Because Ade is 5 feet tall doesn’t necessarily mean all 9-year-olds are 5 feet. Children are as individually unique as they can be. Some learn at slow paces, others really quickly.
They could be either or any combination of two of these: visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic learners but while they are in school, they learn in large groups and teachers may not get the chance to understand the individual needs of of your kid.

2. Hire a home tutor or private lesson teacher to help with private lessons. DO NOT make the mistake of getting a personal home tutor from the school your kid attends. In most cases, those teachers already interact with your child in school, they barely teach anything at home. Instead they simply give the kids “expo” on assignments and tests. YOU ARE NOT doing your kid any favors by doing this. Hire home tutors smartly. Hire the best numeracy tutors and phonics tutors from Prepclass. They currently have a massive Nigerian reach with home tutors in Lagos, home tutors in Abuja, home tutors in port Harcourt. Feel free to give them a call at 09035321117 or 08059811502 or click here to sign up. They are an edtech company with offices in Lagos and Abuja and they just recently got an investment of over $1million dollars with the largest database of private lesson teachers in Lagos.

3. Always Consistently Monitor the Performance of your home tutor. For those that already have home tutors for your kids, always consistently monitor the performance of the home tutor to ensure that they are delivering classes according to professional standards. This is another major reason why you should work with the biggest providers of home tutors in Lagos – Prepclass. Never completely rely on only your kid to handle assignments and worksheets. Ensure your private lesson teacher is actively involved in school work.

4. Encourage your kids to read at least one book before the start of a new term. This part is easier said than done! Ensure you cultivate a strong reading habit for your kid. Reading is very important. To easily facilitate this, hire a creative and essay writing tutor, literacy tutor, reading tutor and diction tutor from Prepclass. Schedule the Prepclass tutor to come for sessions once a week on Saturdays. Boom!!

5. Participate in Mental Maths Daily. Actively get your kid involved in simple and easy mental maths. Often times, you can ask them to go and buy groceries across the street and deduce the expected “change”. Use pictures, shapes and flashcards to sharpen their mental acumen. If your too busy to do this, you can also hire a Prepclass numeracy tutor or a quantitative reasoning tutor. Simply call 09035321117 or 08059811502.
