Below are five things I have found useful in helping our daughter finish her school year without it causing too much stress on either side and dare I say, even make it enjoyable:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 1. DON’T STRESS THE SMALL STUFF<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>At first, I was only focused on making sure that everything was being done quickly and perfectly. I forgot to take into account that this was new for everyone; including my 5-year-old. I finally gave in to the chaos and relaxed my expectations<\/a>. Now, she does her work at her own pace<\/a>, and not everything is 100% correct, but our household is a lot less stressed.<\/p>\n 2. DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASSIGN HOUSEHOLD TASKS\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The first couple of weeks of homeschooling were a blur. Between working remotely, preparing meals, cleaning and schooling, I felt overwhelmed and exhausted. I finally started to realize that my daughter was capable of doing a lot more around the house. She has actually enjoyed helping to do chores, and it has become a source of entertainment and a confidence builder for her as well.<\/p>\n 3. TECHNOLOGY IS NOT THE ENEMY<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Before all of this began, our daughter was lucky to use an iPad or watch TV for more than an hour a week. Now with all of the additional downtime and the need to use technology, she is regularly using it at least a couple hours a day. I’ve actually come to realize that it can be a great tool, not only for school work but to also stay connected to friends and family.<\/p>\n 4. DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Although it may feel a little odd at first, asking friends and family for help in homeschooling can be a great help. Don’t be afraid to ask if they’d like to do a short lesson via Zoom<\/a> about their favorite subject, or read a book out loud. Bilingual family members can even help with short language lessons<\/a> that are sure to keep children entertained and provide a welcomed distraction from the usual routine.<\/p>\n I also noticed through homeschooling that there are a few things that my daughter might need reinforcements in. I’ve learned that tutoring companies<\/a> are offering remote sessions that can be helpful in preventing the loss of previously learned concepts, as well as reinforcing and building upon new concepts. This could also be something new and exciting for your little one to try and can help keep them engaged in learning new things.<\/p>\n 5. EMBRACE THE CHAOS\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The only thing that is certain is that we’re dealing with very uncertain times. Remember, this is an extremely rare circumstance that your children are never going to forget. It’s OK to have a messy house right now or leave certain things unfinished. Take up new hobbies as a family, or learn a new skill you’ve been meaning to try. Use the unexpected additional free time to make new memories that none of you will ever forget!<\/span><\/p>\n What have you been doing to balance homeschooling and other responsibilities? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

I appreciate how they keep the lines of communication open so everyone stays on the same page. BTB worked with us to find the perfect tutor with a schedule that meets our needs. They were able to connect us with his current tutor, Teresa A****, and she is wonderful! She brings many years of knowledge and teaching experience and ensures that each session is fun and different. She even gives us ideas on fun learning activities that we can use to work with him at home. Our son looks forward to his sessions and has learned so much.\u201d \u2014 Chrystynn Bowles<\/p>\n \u201cThe tutor my son has is patient, caring, reliable and very knowledgeable. I have been extremely satisfied with her services and highly recommend Back to Basics.\u201d \u2014 Lori Spier<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBack to Basics has been great. From our initial phone call, we could not be happier. Our 6th grade daughter was struggling with Algebra. It was beyond my ability to help her and our tutor, Margie was very professional and helped my daughter immensely. She was professional, patient and kind and she is a great role model to my daughter as well \u2013 an accomplished woman with a background in engineering who is easy to work with.\u201d \u2014 Ruth Gilbert<\/p>\n \u201cMy experience with Back to Basics has been wonderful. We contracted with a math and an English tutor for my daughter and both were excellent \u2013 kind, supportive, and most important, helped her effectively prepare for the ISEE high school entrance exam. The support staff were also very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!\u201d \u2014 Alisa Morkides\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMr. Green has been a great help for our 10 yr old grandson. His math scores in math went up to grade level and his vocabulary, as well.\u201d \u2014 Edwin Cartwright<\/p>\n \u201cOn behalf of our family, I am writing to both commend and thank you for the tutoring service you provided to our grandson David. With the help of Sonia Hewitt, David received an award at graduation as the most improved student. He ended 9th grade with mostly D\u2019 and F\u2019s. He graduated with all A\u2019s! Sonia communicated his progress and needs to us and Angie always responded to my concerns as well. Continue your good work.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014\u00a0Anna E. Krall<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMy daughter started attending Back to Basics Private School during the third marking period this year (11th grade). I have to say they made all the difference for her. She was struggling at her old school (which was also private). Both her grades and her emotional well being have gone way up. My daughter used to dread going to school and would make every excuse to stay home. Now she she gets mad when I mentioned that the school year is almost over. She can\u2019t believe the interest the teachers have taken in her. As she said to me \u201cthey really care about me\u201d. This school as been for us a God send. I only wish I had found it sooner.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014\u00a0James Tyre<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBack to Basics is a fantastic source for students to get the extra help they may need in any subject. Our tutor David Power is the best! \u00a0He is so smart and so helpful. \u00a0My sons respect him and trust him greatly to give them the guidance and help they may need with homework, \u00a0study preparation, preparing for a test or quiz or just answering a question. He communicates very well with terrific input always. His emails to us are so helpful and insightful so that we can all help our student the best possible together. \u00a0 Your staff is always so helpful. \u00a0Angie Carbine, in particular, \u00a0always answers my questions and always gets back to me right away with the best help and support. \u00a0We are very pleased and lucky to have such a top notch tutoring facility so close to home in our community.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Joseph Wahl<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMy daughter and I were very satisfied with the level of instruction provided by the tutor. It says a lot that my daughter was able to turn an \u201cF\u201d into an \u201cA.\u201d I think the combination of one on one instruction and the tutor\u2019s knowledge of the subject matter made all the difference. I would highly recommend Back to Basics to any parent whose child is struggling in academics. I know that we will be using them in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 Jim\u00a0Tyre<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cCaleb did receive \u2018Most Improved in Math\u2019 for the entire 8th grade during the graduation ceremony, which we certainly owe to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u2013Kerri Watson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cCandise is an excellent Tutor. Our daughter is finally passing her math classes, which she would never have achieved without the help of Candise! We are very grateful for Candise and Back to Basics.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2013Lorraine Peterson<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBoth of my children have had Mr. Power as their math tutor at different times. They have decided that he\u2019s a math god. He has a gift for explaining the most complex math topics in a way that has enabled each to not only understand the information during the tutor session, but also retain the information and build upon it as each math chapter is covered at school. More than once on the day after a tutoring session with Mr. Power, they\u2019ve been asked how to figure out a problem by one of the other students in their class \u2013 and they\u2019ve been able to explain it to the other student and have been told, \u201cNow I get it.\u201d This is just one example of how effective Mr. Power is as a tutor.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cAfter the PSAT, Christine was devastated. We knew she had a long way to go if she wanted to receive an acceptance to her dream college. Her tutors worked to help her overcome her anxiety and timing issues and she was diligent in completing all of her \u201chomework\u201d assignments. She took the test once and received a score of 2300 [combined score used for three subject areas in the 2015 test]. She also received her coveted acceptance to Georgetown University! Her SAT score absolutely pushed her over the top and it would not have been possible without Back to Basics!\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u2014Susan McNeill<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cTHANK YOU!! I am so proud of Cassie and the work she did on her project. She even made the kluten all by herself. She could not have gotten the grades that she did without your assistance.\u00a0<\/span>Hiring you to work with Cassie was one of the best investments I\u2019ve made!<\/em>\u201c<\/strong> \u201c\u2026everyone is professional, knowledgeable, courteous. A first class organization\u2026.Thank You.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> \u201cI was so pleased with my daughter\u2019s experience with Back to Basics tutoring for the SAT. My daughter improved her score in Math SAT from the PSAT by over 200 points. Not only was she instructed in the math skills she needed to improve her score, but she also was instructed in general test taking strategies which helped in all of the sections of the test. I highly recommend Back to Basics SAT tutoring.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> \u201cMs. Lantz was a great tutor for our daughter. We had a wonderful experience. Our daughter\u2019s confidence in math has gone up tremendously. We would definitely recommend Back to Basics to our friends.\u201d \u201cJoy\u2019s [SAT] scores went up almost 200 points in the short time Bob worked with her, and she got her Writing and English scores up to a level that she had good choices for colleges. She was just accepted at Syracuse in the Economics Department. Your help in getting us help for her at the 11th<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>hour helped make that possible.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI have never before used the services of any tutor, however, I must tell you what an exceptional experience it has been to have Miss Keren work with our son Matthew. Keren is very warm, kind, patient, and effective teacher. Keren has gone above and beyond what I would expect any tutor to do. My son has made incredible progress since he has been working with her. Keren has been able to have Matthew do things for her when no one else could. My son has autism and a very short attention span. He gets frustrated very easily and will either have a tantrum or give up in tears. From the very first day Matthew began working with Karen he was like a different child. Karen has been able to have him work for up to 4 hours in a session with only very minimal breaks. Matthew has not once had a tantrum or showed any signs of frustration and is always happy to see her when she comes to work with him. Keren even attended my son\u2019s IEP meeting with me to help advocate for what we all believed what was best for him\u2026Keren truly is an exceptional person and teacher and I could never ask anyone for more than that.\u201d My daughter loves the one on one attention and [Back to Basics\u2019 tutor] Winn makes learning fun!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> \u201cMr. Duffy was an excellent match for Peter. He understood Peter\u2019s limitations, discussed Peter\u2019s limitations with teachers, and was able to have Peter\u2019s assignment in history changed to something he could handle. Nobody had ever done that before.\u201d \u201cDave Powers is a great asset to Clem\u2019s learning style. He is on target with his instruction and he\u2019s a great support! In addition to my gratitude, I give him an A++!\u201d<\/strong> \u201cJust wanted to drop a quick note and let you know the Krystina raised her reading score from 560 to 720 and her writing score from 610 to 760 after 16 hours of reading tutoring. This has opened up multiple scholorship opportunities for her. Her SAT went from an 1880 to a 2190, and her ACT went from a 28 to a 33. Many thanks for the tutor she had. Definately well worth the investment. She already has a full tuition + scholorship to Alabama.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWe wanted to let you know how pleased and appreciative we are regarding Sean\u2019s progress during this school year.<\/p>\n Sean\u2019s academic growth in all subject areas has been a true delight to witness and simultaneously has caused his self-confidence to soar. He enjoys the challenges of his school days, is proud to be learning a second language, and eagerly completes home assignments.<\/p>\n The staff has been wonderful in recognizing Sean\u2019s learning strengths, while also helping him grow enormously in the areas in which he previously struggled. He is now a motivated learner and truly happy with the social approach of the program this year.<\/p>\n John and I extend a heartfelt thanks to you and your entire staff. We highly recommend the program every chance we get. Bravo!\u201d \u201cIt was June of our daughter\u2019s sophomore year in high school and we didn\u2019t know where to send her for her junior year. We could not work with the public school system to get our daughter some of the special needs that she required. A half a semester at a private school was equally frustrating. The teachers and staff were not capable of dealing with a child that did not fit the mold.<\/strong><\/p>\n When I called Back to Basics to ask about tutoring, I was put through to Beverly. What a godsend! She understood what we had experienced in the traditional school systems and I know we had found the right place. The entire staff was very supportive. The teachers were excellent and really boosted our daughter\u2019s self-esteem. The attention, nurturing and education she received were phenomenal. Our daughter completed both her junior and senior years at Back to Basics and even received significant scholarships from four different colleges.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cThank you from myself and my grandson. After a previous experience with another tutor program, I found Back to Basics very relaxing, and the tutor very comforting. My grandson totally loved the experience at your office and his tutor.\u201d \u201cThank you for the wonderful work you are doing with our son. We are thrilled to see his self-confidence returning and his grades improving. It is a relief to know he\u2019s getting the best help possible. If you ever need someone to talk with parents about the quality of your services, I hope you\u2019ll call on us.\u201d \u201cBoth of my sons attended Back to Basics. I thought you might like to know that one now has a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and the other is a Management Information Systems graduate\u2026 I feel part of the success they have enjoyed is due directly to the instruction they received from Back to Basics.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cMy comments apply to all of Henry\u2019s teachers. They\u2019ve been wonderfully supportive and terrific with him. He is very happy there.\u201d \u201cBoth of our sons have been fortunate enough to work with all the wonderful staff whose warmth and caring has brought out the best in them. The have learned more at Back to Basics than they could have possibly learned in any other school. The opportunity to choose their own courses made learning an enjoyable experience for them.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cJust wanted to share with you how proud Angel is of his report card. He has shown it to the neighbor (one of the heads at Wilmington Friends), his tennis coach, his therapist, and my parents. He now has his own copy in his bag. Watching Angel share the results of his work is like one of those credit card commercials \u2013 priceless!\u201d \u201cHis attitude towards school is completely changing around. He realizes teachers care and are truly interested in his future success.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> \u201cOn behalf of our family, I am writing to both commend and thank you for the tutoring service you provided to our grandson David. With the help of Sonia Hewitt, David received an award at graduation as the most improved student. He ended 9th grade with mostly D\u2019 and F\u2019s. He graduated with all A\u2019s! Sonia communicated his progress and needs to us and Angie always responded to my concerns as well. Continue your good work.\u201d \u201d I sent [tutor] Gerald a thank you email because I wanted to let him know how much I appreciated him helping my daughter. When Gerald took over my daughter had a 69 avg. So it was no small feat to end the last marking period with an 82. My only regret is that he did take over sooner. In my opinion Back to Basics has some of the best teachers my daughter has ever had.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”TEACHER REVIEWS” open_toggle_text_color=”#134985″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#134985″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#4fc8e7″ icon_color=”#134985″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ title_text_color=”#134985″ title_font=”|700||on|||||” title_text_align=”center” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px”]<\/p>\n \u201c[Back to Basics\u2019 tutor] Sharon does a great job. She has worked with the cadets for three years now and they love her. They see true value and definitely feel that she helps them a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong> \u201cI found the staff cooperative and someone was always available to answer any question I may have had. It made my job easier as the program coordinator not to have to worry about the quality of the tutors or to supply any needed substitutes. Working with Back to Basics and Beverly Stewart has been one of the better educational experiences I have had during the 35 years I spent working in an elementary school.\u201d \u201cAs a teacher, I know that when I recommend parents to Back to Basics, they will be pleased with what they have to offer to meet the needs of their child.\u201d<\/strong> [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”STUDENT REVIEWS” open_toggle_text_color=”#134985″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#134985″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#4fc8e7″ icon_color=”#134985″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ title_text_color=”#134985″ title_font=”|700||on|||||” title_text_align=”center” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px”]<\/p>\n \u201cI have been loyal supporter of Back To Basics for more than two decades!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> \u201cBack to Basics had a real challenge in teaching me a foreign language. As a University of Nationwide student in her mid-sixties, they enabled me to receive a B+ each semester by providing excellent instruction. They listen to your needs concerning the time and place that is best for you to learn; they act on that need to match you with an excellent instructor and then, to keep their standards high, they ask for your feedback. Whether a person is six or sixty, I am confident that Back to Basics will make it enjoyable to learn.\u201d \u201cThank you for letting me come back to the greatest school on earth. You set me up with all the things that I needed and it worked out wonderfully. It helped get me where I needed to be.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI intend to put a \u201cTOP\u201d score in each area! Thank you for the Praxis I pre-writing assignment tips. I went from a failing score to a 176. The passing score is 173. You guys are great!\u201d \u201cI would highly recommend Back to Basics to anyone who is struggling with any particular topic in any level of education. I was finishing up my degree at a local college and needed to pass a class in \u201cInferential Statistics\u201d in order to graduate. I realized I wasn\u2019t doing well and I needed help\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”TUTOR & STAFF REVIEWS” open_toggle_text_color=”#134985″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#134985″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#4fc8e7″ icon_color=”#134985″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ title_text_color=”#134985″ title_font=”|700||on|||||” title_text_align=”center” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px”]<\/p>\n \u201cFor more than ten years, I have had the privilege of working in an educational institution which embraces high academic standards and lovingly tells every student who walks through the door that success is within their grasp. I have witnessed countless student transformations focused not just on academic achievement, but self-esteem and awareness that learning is a lifelong process. The compassionate and dedicated staff led by a tireless and respected leader has come to be synonymous with excellence and success. I am honored to be part of the Back to Basics Learning Dynamics family.\u201d \u201cI have been an instructor of mathematics, physics, and chemistry at Back to Basics for 11 years. In that time, I have had the pleasure of instructing over 300 students in a 1-on-1 format. My students have thrived with the individual attention. I have witnessed their blooming confidence and enjoyment in being able to learn effectively. For me, each student\u2019s instruction has been a unique journey. It feels good knowing I have definitely made a significant contribution to each student\u2019s education and well-being.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cFor the past several years, I have had the honor of representing Back to Basics Learning Dynamics as a tutor, interpreter, and translator. Whether inspiring a love for Spanish in the hearts of students through one-on-one tutoring, bridging communication gaps at parent-teacher conferences, or producing high-quality translations of critical documents, I have enjoyed a sense of purpose and happiness in meeting the standards of academic excellence that Beverly and the Back to Basics family have been demonstrating since 1985. I am grateful to be a part of the family and for the opportunities for professional growth that I\u2019ve enjoyed as a result. These experiences have enhanced my individual performance, expanded my cultural awareness, and deepened my knowledge in the fields of education and translation. Whether working locally or remotely, Back to Basics has been the best career choice for me.\u201d \u201cI have been a tutor, translator and interpreter at Back to Basics for 14 years. Back to Basics began small in a crowded field of translating and interpreting but today has a large portion of the market in Nationwide in schools, hospitals, medical facilities and government agencies. I am proud to have played a small part in providing services to international families who need our services. I believe that such services are not only necessary but helpful to the families as well as the institution. Beverly has set a high bar of professionalism and skill attainment for her tutors, translators and interpreters to meet. She has provided certification opportunities as well as professional development so that each translator and interpreter has the best and highest skills he\/she has the possibility of attaining. I am happy to be part of an organization that is at once so professional but also so caring. \u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Layla Gros is a mom of one elementary school-aged daughter.
