6th grade is the last year of elementary. It’s the time for students to start preparing for middle school. It's an exciting, but very challenging time. Things can get messy - fast. Every skill they've learned and mastered since the beginning of elementary school will be challenged and stretched.

For students to consistently grow and excel, they must have a strong foundation. They must also have patience and confidence in their abilities. One of the biggest issues students face today is the lack of reliable guidance and support. One of the best ways to always ensure students don't burn out, get overwhelmed, and lose confidence is to provide them with an experienced mentor - someone who will be with them through their learning journey.

At Homeschool-Teachers.com, our team of licensed 6th grade teachers-turned- tutors, also known as learning coaches, come fully-equipped with the skills and subject mastery to help students excel and build self-confidence. Subject mastery and comprehension is best achieved by working closely with experienced teaching professionals.

At Homeschool-Teachers.com, we care about quality and attention to detail.

Learning and teaching 6th grade subjects are not easy - especially without the proper experience and skills. It takes years of training, teaching experience, and mastering specific skills to be able to teach and work with 6th graders. Students need to stay focused, excited to learn, and have self-confidence. 

Our learning coaches strive to keep every session energetic and interactive. Through our research, we've concluded that the best way to keep students motivated and excited to learn is to always keep them engaged and involved.

We understand everyone learns differently. There is no set approach to teaching students. Some students learn fast, while others need more time to understand. Some students have confidence, while some need more support and guidance.

A lot of students today struggle because traditional education is currently a one-size-fits-all set-up. All students are expected to learn, perform, and grow at the same time and pace. That is just not a realistic expectation. 

Every student is unique. Our learning coaches use proven techniques to understand each individual's strengths and weaknesses. This method ensures there is no guesswork. Everything is calculated and studied. Every session is personalized according to a student's learning pace and style. This is the most effective and efficient way to build a student’s self- confidence and mastery.

All of our online tutoring sessions are one hour long. Students get one-on-one real-time interaction with a licensed 6th grade tutor. We believe in the power and attention-to-detail of a one-on-one setting. It gives all of our students a more customized, engaging, in-depth and playful way of learning.
