Tutoring secrets schools hide

Many parents trust schools to help their kids with math, but the truth is, not all teachers are prepared to help struggling students. I just finished my first year teaching 5th grade math and thought tutoring would be easy money—just help with homework, right? But here's the real story: some kids need more than just homework help. They need someone who understands their struggles and knows how to teach in a way that makes sense to them. Over the summer, I started digging into resources that most teachers never bother with. I found out that many schools don’t train teachers to handle students who really struggle with math. They just expect us to figure it out! There are podcasts, online courses, and even secret Facebook groups where experienced tutors share their tricks—stuff you’ll never hear about in a staff meeting. If you’re thinking about tutoring, don’t just rely on what the school gives you. Go deeper. Find those hidden resources, talk to real tutors, and learn the methods that actually work. It’s shocking how much is kept under wraps. Have you ever felt like schools are hiding the best ways to help our kids?
