Kids today have busy lives and schedules, so you may not realize they're struggling academically until they bring home their report card. However, there are often signs that they may need extra support through after-school tutoring. Below, learn about a few more common signs that a teen may be experiencing academic challenges.

How to Tell If Your Teenager Needs After-School Tutoring

1. Disorganized Study Habits

A high schooler who is having trouble with their classes might be less inclined to implement good study habits. Their habits may be haphazard at best, such as missing assignments or rushing to get assignments completed on time.

Challenging subjects can also be difficult for the teen to focus on, and their study or homework sessions might be full of distractions or breaks. Monitor how your child studies to see if they're struggling in a certain subject.

2. Excessive Involvement in Extracurriculars

Extracurricular activities are excellent for diversifying a teen's life experiences and introducing them to new people, ideas, and projects. However, too much involvement in extracurricular activities can overwhelm a young student and leave them inadequate time to devote to academics. If your child has a full calendar, take note of how often they study during a typical week. If study sessions are brief, they may need to amend their schedule and seek after-school tutoring support.

3. Absences From Classes

Some high school students might avoid classes that are particularly challenging. If you learn from the school that your child isn't attending classes, after-school tutoring is likely necessary. Your child will not only catch up on the work they've missed, but they will have dedicated time each week to delve into difficult subjects, ask questions, and enhance their understanding.
