T.N.
As an elementary school teacher (1st grade for 3 years; 5th grade homeroom with a 6-8th grade ESL pull-out program for 1 year before taking time off to have my babies), I did hear great things about Sylvan Learning Centers although I also heard they can be a bit expensive. Another idea is a high school student tutor (be sure the HS student is a very good student prior to the tutoring). Another option is a college student studying to be a teacher. If your child needs more professional help than a HS or college student can give (ex - needs prescribed help and more structure than just homework help), maybe try a local certified teacher. I have always been of the opinion that the most important thing in school is successful students. That doesn't mean an "easy A". That means the students are learning methods, problem solving, and retaining the knowledge obtained. I don't know what area you are in, but I am in Chandler and would be willing to help, if you like. I don't know what your budget is (probably tight given the current market), but I am sure we could work out something that works for all parties involved. In any case, good luck in your search, and I wish your daughter all the success in the world!
