By the end of 1st grade, based on multiple assessments she is performing at 3rd grade level in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. ![Cute little girl drawing on blackboard](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20images/Cute%20little%20girl%20drawing%20on%20blackboard.jpeg?width=257&name=Cute%20little%20girl%20drawing%20on%20blackboard.jpeg) Stephanie is enrolled in a small private school where there are 12 kids in her classroom. For reference most public schools have 24+ students in an elementary classroom. Stephanie's mom is concerned that this school year is a loss and that her daughter's development has been interrupted.She is considering changing schools if Distance Learning will continue into the 2021-2022 school year. ## Plan of Action: There are a lot of families out there that share the same concerns as Stephanie's mom and are stuck in a challenging position. Stephanie's mom has scheduled a zoom conference with the teacher to share her concerns and has asked the teacher to provide additional material for Stephanie to work on. While this is by no means a solution, this is the right start.  What we have done to better support Stephanie is incorporate 30 minute 1 on 1 private tutoring lessons with an English and a Mathematics teacher 3 times a week. We decided to look at Stephanie's overall development and have identified the following areas to work on.  [![My Child Needs a Tutor](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6312752/a3dd2fbf-7ec5-4fa4-9782-839eeca25b7c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6312752/a3dd2fbf-7ec5-4fa4-9782-839eeca25b7c) ##### **English Language Arts:** 1.

She has more confidence in solving multi-step problems and is excited about the upcoming chapters. Stephanie is starting to work on chapter books and is developing a profound love for reading. ## Outlook: Going forward, Stephanie’s tutor will continue to balance enrichment with supplemental school support to help her continue developing her knowledge and skills.
