Academic failure
 

"..... my child doesn't read, doesn't write, gets bad marks"

When you are faced with a problem like this

What do you do?

Many parents respond to this problem by taking their children to private classes.

This is the first thing that we may think of, but........ Is it the answer? NO, it isn't.

Why?

  • :Children need an environment that stimulates their curiosity and makes them want to explore. Studying is not something innate to children. They need motivation and guidelines.
  • Sometimes children don't use their abilities to their full extent and when it comes to learning they have difficulties.
  • There are children with learning difficulties and it is important to first rule out physical impediments (hearing, vision, hormone problems..)
  • Other learning difficulties arise from emotional problems since both intellectual and emotional maturing are intertwined

What is the solution?

The first thing we have to do is FIND THE CAUSES of the difficulties and then apply the appropriate solution. An in-depth study will provide the child and the family with lasting, tangible benefits:

  • Improvement in performance and academic results ·
  • Improvement in self-esteem
  • Motivation in tasks and new challenges
  • Learning to value time, effort and work.
  • Carefree holidays. How important this is for the whole family !
  • Avoiding doubling expenses: private classes that only attack the symptom may help this time but next course the problems will spring up again.

Whatever the age of your children, have no doubt that this is a good time to help them. In this matter, much more than in any other, the help of a professional can mean the difference between solving the problem on time or not.
