[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 825179, member: 906"] Ditto. I have been doing ACT/SAT tutoring for about 12 years now, and I have learned that I pretty much know at my first session with a teen if there will be success (significant improvement in scores). The ONLY way it will happen is if they are motivated to want to learn OR somehow, their parents' motivation is causing them some "discomfort". :) One of the quotes I dread hearing is this: "well my parents aren't good at math, so I guess that is why I struggle." That is a bunch of hooey. Math is easy and can be learned (memorized if need be) by anyone with an average intelligence. It is all about "want to" in my experience. I tell parents all of this before we start, because I am a tutor and not a motivator. Motivation, in general, must come from within or be taught from an early age. (or be created from significant outside circumstances) [/QUOTE]
