Feeling overwhelmed by your nightly homework grind? You’re not alone. If you’re spending close to four hours a night on your homework (the national average), that’s over an hour spent feeling panicky and still not getting your work done. Homework anxiety can become a self-fulfilling prophecy: If you’re already convinced that calculus is unconquerable, that anxiety can actually block your ability to learn the material.
Whether your anxiety is related to handling your workload (we know you’re getting more homework than ever!), mastering a particular subject like statistics, or getting great grades for your college application, stress doesn’t have to go hand-in-hand with studying.
1. Work the Best Way for YOU
From the way you decorate your room to the way you like to study, you have a style all your own:
“I cannot thank Christopher enough! I felt so anxious and stressed trying to work on my personal statement, and he made every effort to help me realize my strengths and focus on writing in a way that honored my personality. I wanted to give up, but he was patient with me and it made the difference.”
“[My] tutor was 1000000000000% great . . . He made me feel important and fixed all of my mistakes and adapted to my learning style . . . I have so much confidence for my midterms that I was so stressed out about.”
“I liked how the tutor asked me how was I starting the problem and allowed me to share what I was doing and what I had. The tutor was able to guide me from there and break down the steps and I got the answer all on my own and the tutor double checked it… saved me from tears and stress.”
2. Study Smarter, Not Harder
If you’ve read the chapter in your history textbook twice and aren’t retaining the material, don’t assume the third
time will be the charm. Our tutors will help you break the pattern, and learn ways to study more efficiently:
“[My] tutor has given me an easier, less stressful way of seeing math problems. It is like my eyes have opened up.”
“I was so lost in this part of math but within minutes the tutor had me at ease and I get it now. I wasn’t even with her maybe 30 minutes or so, and she helped me figure out what I have been stressing over for the past almost two days.”
“I can not stress how helpful it is to have a live tutor available. Math was never and still isn’t my favorite subject, but I know I need to take it. Being able to talk to someone and have them walk you through the steps on how to solve a problem is a huge weight lifted off of my shoulder.”
3. Get Help in a Pinch
Because sometimes you need a hand RIGHT NOW:
“I was lost and stressed because I have a test tomorrow and did not understand the problems. I fully get it now!”
“My tutor was great. I was freaking out and stressed out about the entire assignment, but she really helped me to pull it together. I am excited to turn my paper in tomorrow.”
“This was so helpful to have a live person to validate my understanding of the formulas I need to use before actually submitting my homework and getting it incorrect. My stress level reduced greatly with a project deadline due date.”
4. Benefit from a Calming Presence
From PhDs and Ivy Leaguers to doctors and teachers, our tutors are experts in their fields, and they know how to keep your anxiety at bay:
“I really like that the tutors are real people and some of them help lighten the stress by making jokes or having
quirky/witty things to say. That helps when you think you’re messing up! Gives you a reprieve from your brain jumbling everything together!”
“He seemed understanding and empathetic to my situation. That means a lot to a new student who is under stress.”
“She was very thorough in explaining her suggestions as well as asking questions and leaving the changes up to me, which I really appreciated. She was very encouraging and motivating which helped with keeping me positive about my paper and knowing that I am not alone in my struggles. She definitely eased my worries and stress. She was wonderful!”
5. Practice Makes Perfect
“Love this site once again. It’s so helpful and this is the first time in years when I don’t stress about my frustration with HW because I know this site will always be here to help me.”
“I’ve been using this service since I was in seventh grade and now I am a Freshman in High School. School has just started and I am already using this site again! 🙂 This site is so dependable. I love it so much and it’s a lot easier than having an actual teacher sitting there hovering over you, waiting for you to finish the problem.”
“I can always rely on this site to help me when I’m confused, and it always makes me feel more confident in the work I’m doing in school.”
