Weekly Insight: Don’t Wait for the Parent-Teacher Conference to Act
It’s September—which means parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings are in full swing.
This is often when parents hear for the first time that their child is struggling in math. But here’s the truth: waiting until the conference to take action can set your student back even further.
✅ Instead, check in weekly with your child: ask what’s been most challenging in math.
✅ Look at progress reports or online grades frequently—not just when the teacher brings it up.
✅ If gaps are forming, address them now. Early action means less stress, higher confidence, and better results when report cards come out.
Pro tip: The best time to secure tutoring support isn’t after the red flags—it’s when you first sense your child slipping. Don’t wait until the conference call; start now. Click below to partner with us:

Student Spotlight: Paige Durst
This week, we’re celebrating Paige—a shining example of perseverance and hard work.
Paige has been with Sharpe Sessions since high school, and now as a college junior, she continues to lean on strategy, discipline, and support to excel in her toughest courses.
We spotlighted Paige a few weeks ago for finishing Organic Chemistry with an A. But she’s back with more wins—starting her semester strong with a 94 in Chemistry and a 102 in Physics!
Her story is proof that consistency and the right support system create unstoppable momentum. Paige continues to set the bar high for what’s possible when students lean on strategy, discipline, and Sharpe Sessions tutoring support.
👏 Way to start the semester, Paige—we’re proud of you!
P.S. Did you know we also offer tutoring for science classes like Physics and Chemistry? Ask us today about adding science support for your student.

Quote of the Week
“Mathematics may not teach us how to add love or subtract hate, but it gives us every reason to hope that every problem has a solution.” — Anonymous
Math is more than numbers—it’s a mindset. Every challenge, whether in school or in life, is just a problem waiting for the right strategy. For students, it’s the reminder that mistakes are not the end—they’re just steps toward the solution. For parents, it’s encouragement that no matter how tough math feels right now, progress is always possible with patience, practice, and persistence.

This Saturday, Dr. Shanah Grant, CEO & Founder of Sharpe Sessions Math Tutoring, will be speaking at Rockdale County Public Schools’ Super Scholarship event.
