MLK day is a day where we can all be thankful for the bravery and strength that Martin Luther King and others had to fight through the trials and tribulations of our history, so that we could live under the blanket of freedom and equality today.

How to Succeed in 2013
"I'm just not good at math. I'm more of an English person."
"I'm just not good at English. I'm more of a math person".
This whole concept is a fallacy. You can be good at anything you want to be good at - whether you are naturally inclined to succeed in one subject over another does not affect your overall success in that course if you put in the necessary work.
It is true, some students will learn that 3 x 14 = 42 much more quickly than others - however, all students (unless those students have a specific processing disability) can become above average in all subjects, if they put their mind to it.
The truth is, most students never put in the adequate time and training to really succeed in their academics. At the first sign of struggle, the student will mentally check out of the classroom, and if they are not pushed to succeed by parents and teachers, many of them will fall by the wayside. Young students don't know the importance of education, unfortunately, so they do not put in the effort to become great at academia - many times, they do not put in the effort to become great at anything.
All of the greats in our society - sports icons, leaders of political parties, singers and musicians, great scientific minds - all have put in countless hours perfecting their craft. It is important that a student puts in the time in order to become truly successful.
Many times, student's do not know "where to start". They have the internal motivation to succeed, however, they are so far behind, that they do not know how to begin. This is common. Luckily, Tried & True Tutoring is here to help your student get caught up in any class they are struggling with. Not only do we help with specific classes, like Math, Reading, Writing, Statistics, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Algebra 2, etc, but we can help the student through our remediation programs in order to get their skills up to grade level state standards. This ensures that they will be able to learn the new material the teacher is explaining, rather than sitting dumbfounded in class since they are so far behind.
Success and failure can both snowball very quickly. When you get "on a roll", you will be amazed at what you can achieve in a short period of time. However, if you begin to accept failure, you will be amazed and how quickly your life can unravel.
During 2013, make a promise to yourself to learn more and work harder. Do not do this for your parents, your friends, your loved ones, or your teachers - do it for you. A solid education will provide a foundation for you to do whatever you want to do with your life. You only have one life to live - and there are many paths in life that you can take - make sure that you can select from a variety of paths. America provides us the freedom to do anything we want within the confines of our laws - education will allow you to fully take advantage of your freedoms.
Happy New Year to all of our parents, teachers, students, administration, and staff. We look forward to a successful school year. The next SAT is January 26th, 2013, and the next ACT is February 9th, 2013. Get off to a good start and give us a call today. We'll get you set up with a customized curriculum at an affordable cost, so that you can maximize your potential this year. Visit www.triedandtruetutoring.com for more information.
