- Test anxiety: High-stakes exams, such as final exams and college entrance exams, can be stressful for students, leading to test anxiety.
- Subject-specific challenges: Students may struggle with specific subjects, such as math, science, or English, due to a lack of interest in the subject, difficulty understanding the material or a lack of confidence in their abilities.
- Balancing extracurricular activities: Balancing activities with academic work can be challenging, especially if a student is involved in multiple activities.

Tutors can also help students navigate the complex college application process, including preparing for entrance exams like the SAT and ACT. With a tutor’s personalized instruction and attention, high school students can gain confidence in their academic abilities and develop the skills they need to succeed in high school and beyond.
