Guest Blogger S.M.A.R.T Zone Tutoring | Hosted by Norman Photography - Harker Heights Family Photographer


A month in to the school year, many of you may be noticing the initial excitement and anticipation of “back-to-school” beginning to wear off.  With each new assignment, deadline, and test, many students start to experience increasing levels of stress, frustration, and anxiety, especially if they are not performing at the “desired” level.  Whether you are the parent with a frustrated child who refuses to let you work with him or are a student who just isn’t grasping that new math concept, we, at S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring, offer the help you need.

Who we are & how we started:
S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring was started by Educational Outfitters and is a local, family owned and operated company.  Educational Outfitters, owned by Cindy and Randy Schoel, provides educational materials to parents, teachers, homeschoolers, students, and schools in the community.  For years, Educational Outfitters has served as a “match making service” between tutors and students and earlier this year decided to formally provide this service and opened S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring.  S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring is operated by Stephanie (Schoel) Kelso, a former Killeen ISD student and teacher.

How we are unique:
*We offer S.M.A.R.T. :  Science Math And Reading Tutoring for grades K-12.  Yes, this includes first grade reading/writing & high school chemistry!
*All of our tutors are state certified teachers with classroom teaching experience.  Our teachers know the objectives the students are responsible for, the struggles the students face, as well as how to implement countless teaching strategies for struggling students.
*We tutor in a safe, neutral location. We believe it is important to conduct our tutoring at our center, creating a neutral location away from the distractions of home and frustrations of school.
*We offer personalized private (one-on-one) and small group (2-4 students) tutoring.  After conducting the initial consultation/assessment, the tutor creates a personalized plan of instruction based on the student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style(s).  The tutor remains with the student for the course of his/her tutoring.
*No long-term contracts. We want to work so we are not needed…. whether that happens in 10 or 50 sessions, we don’t require you to sign up for a minimum number of sessions. 

Benefits to tutoring:
It is common for all students to need additional assistance in one way or another throughout their education.  Supplemental instruction and tutoring offers many benefits to students both in and out of the classroom.
Tutoring often can provide the following benefits to students:
·       enhance academic performance
·       increase confidence and self-esteem
·       promote a positive view of subject, school, and education
·       improve study skills and strategies
·       allow students to ask questions and seek clarity
·       supplement and reinforce classroom instruction
·       lower dropout rates
