Tutoring programs provide help for children who need extra assistance with their learning, and challenges students who require extension to progress at an accelerated rate. There is no one prescribed age to start tutoring for your child. The age a child starts tutoring will depend on their learning needs and progression through their schooling. Some children need extra support early on in their education, while others experience difficulties later in their schooling. On the other side, some students may need extension as soon as they start school, or this may come later, when they develop heightened learning agility and out-pace their peers. When to start tutoring for your child is a family choice, but NumberWorks’nWords can help with this process, through our academic assessment.
