We Make it Easy to Track Tutoring Progress

We realize that parents want to know that the investment they are making in tutoring support is working. That is why we send an email report to parents after each tutoring session.

Here is an example of a report for a fictional student, with a description of it below:

This is a A+ Home Tutors session recap for John Student.

Session Information
Session Entry Date: 3/10/08
Length: 1 hrs
Session Type: Private
Subject: Middle School Math
Attendance: Present
Energy : High
Preparation : Medium
Progress : High
Instructor: Trisha Tutor

Session Note: John recently had his chapter test on simple and compound interest. I quizzed him on some of the tricks he may have seen on his test and he was able to answer all questions correctly. I am eager to see how he did on this test.

After this, John was introduced to geometry. We went through the first fours sections of the chapter which will bring him ahead of the material presented in class. I was very happy to see that John remembered a lot of information from his 5th grade class. The most difficult concept is transversals because there are a lot of properties to memorize. We will be working with tranversals in our next session to make sure he has all properties down.

The report provides two functions.

First it allows parents to verify the date and length of the session.

Second, it allows parents to see how the sessions are going, from the perspective of the tutor. The tutor rates the session based on three categories: Energy level, Preparation level, and Progress made during the session. The tutor rates the session with “High” ‘Medium” or “Low” for each category. This gives parents a quick look at how the sessions are going.

Then, the tutor writes a description of the session. The tutor includes what happened in the session, what went well, what the student needs to work on, and any homework that the tutor would like the student to complete. (Usually, tutors only give homework for Test Preparation or if extra work is requested by the parents or
student.)

These reports allow parents to stay current with what is happening with the tutoring, and when you take all the reports together, it provides a history of the tutoring that dates back to the first session. If at any point the parents or tutor notice that we are moving away from the goals for the tutoring, we work with the student and parent to get the sessions back on track quickly, so progress can continue to be made.
