My name is Mrs TomiladeSonekanfor over 15 years I have consulted as an educational advisor and expert in early childhood education across US, UK and Nigeria.
As schools resume, I’ve gotten calls from hundreds of parents asking “How do I position my child for success this new academic year”. I’ll be providing invaluable success nuggets here for FREE so if you’re a parent who loves your child and wants to see them succeed, then continue reading
What are the principles and pathways to follow to see your child excel academically?
I remember vividly a case I took 4 years ago a Nigerian mother walked up to me at one of my yearly seminars. She was a recently widowed mum whose child was attending a very expensive school in Lagos. She explained that with her husband’s death she would have to withdraw her child from the school even though it would break her heart to do so but the fees was about N2million a year. The only way Vivian could remain in the school was if she became one of the top 3 students in class before the next academic year which was 6 months away. The school has a scholarship progress for top students.
She needed a miracle, the child had always been average in her results and she needed to take her from 12th in class to number 2 or 3 if not number 1. I worked with her and within the 6months we worked a MIRACLE. Here’s how
Grow the child’s confidence: Children often know much more than they show, because they are not sure they are right they tend to keep quiet instead of taking the risk. Only about 40% of kids speak up even if they are not sure of their answers the rest prefer to be quiet and thus often stay ignorant
Grow the child’s curiosity: Curiosity is the key to learning. Don’t shut your child up for asking too many questions
Help them see the relevance of learning: Show them how what they learn in class translates to real life
Constant help and mentorship: I found that kids who spend more than 2 hours everyday outside of class in constant interaction with an adult are far more likely to do better at school and I always tell parents this. This particular point was what really made the miracle for Vivian. We got her a professional home tutor who would visit their home three times a week for just N40,000.
Here is the truth about private tutoring
Since young children approach learning in different ways, one on one classes guarantee that the child is carefully carried along and fundamental concepts are perfectly mastered before new topics are introduced. Having a 1 or 2 hours one on one session with a teacher is extremely beneficial especially to kids. Take a moment to think about it, the average teacher to student ratio is 1 to 20 or 30. This means 1 teacher has to be accountable for 30 students,it’s very tough to carry everyone along and this leaves slow learners in a very hopeless state. Private tutors are solely dedicated to seeing your child move up higher therefore they do all it takes by constant evaluation and motivation to make sure a child achieves great success.
