As a brand new business owner, I received 24 calls the very first weekend my ad came out in the Edmond Outlook! I made three new client appointments right away and I continue to receive positive feedback from everyone who sees the ad. I believe in the proven results the Edmond Outlook has brought my new medical practice.

Organizational Tips for a Student's Success
Want to know how to help your child be a better student? Here are 5 organizational tips from College Nannies & Tutors of Edmond.
- Establish a routine for each session. Maintain a consistent time each afternoon or evening for homework and studying. Focus on more difficult assignments first. After dinner, finish remaining work or review for a test with a family member.
- Work at your desk in your bedroom regularly. Minimize distractions. Turn off music, television and phone. Once you sit down to work, focus on one assignment at a time. Parents, you can check to see if your students need your help, but be careful not to interrupt them!
- Maintain a well-stocked and clean workspace. Have a water bottle, sharpened pencils, dictionary, thesaurus and your bookbag with you. Only use the computer when needed to avoid distracting temptations such as IM, music and surfing.
- Hang a bulletin board above your desk for visual reminders: Items to bring to school the next day; difficult to remember vocabulary words; tricky math or science formulas.
- Manage
your papers and books.
Use a planner. Write assignments in your planner on the day they are assigned and every day until due. When completing homework, leave your planner open and check off each assignment as you complete it.
Use a pocket folder for each class as an “inbox/outbox.” Put new assignments in your inbox (left-hand pocket) before you leave that class. At home, when you complete each assignment, put it in the outbox (right-hand pocket). At school, open the correct folder at the beginning of class and hand in assignment that are in your outbox.
Keep a binder with all past assignments, quizzes and tests for review. Teachers take most test questions from homework and quizzes. Study these first and study them well.
Developing this kind of routine strengthens a student’s ability to excel and achieve their full potential. College Nannies & Tutors can help, with customized, one-on-one tutoring and college prep.
