Ellen Sandweiss is the Owner and Managing Director of College Nannies & Tutors of Beverly Hills, a franchise office she opened in January of 2010. She came to the nanny/tutor placement business after a long exhaustive search for a business she could be passionate about! With a background in non-profit administration and small business management, Ellen started out managing a symphony orchestra and finally wound-up running the business end of a manufacturer's rep agency. However, once her two children were born, she found part-time jobs with flexible hours so she could be available to them -- a privilege she never took for granted, given the fact that some women have no option but to work full-time and find full-time childcare. Now that her daughters are 21 and 24 and (basically) on their own, Ellen finds that she's drawn both to college-aged kids with their idealism and energy, as well as the little kids who crave that energy and attention! Ellen passionately believes that after a long challenging day at school or daycare, children need one-on-one attention and nurturing in the comfort of their home from an energetic, loving caregiver whose sole duty it is to help them grow and thrive. And voila -- College Nannies & Tutors fits that bill!

The Importance of Summer Tutoring
During the time when students are finishing up their last few days of school before summer, many parents may notice that barely any homework has come home in weeks. The school year continues to wind down, and those mere 180 days of school (compared to Japanese students who spend 243 days in school) dwindle away since major testing has already concluded. Although standardized testing is very important, learning shouldn't stop just because there is not an exam to prepare for. When summer is upon us, it is the perfect time to focus on those subjects that are often not emphasized in testing (science, history, geography, foreign languages) and brush up on any areas of English or math that were tossed to the wayside because the curriculum kept moving.

It's no secret that most kids don't enjoy starting each day with school work and ending each evening with homework. And if they have trouble understanding the material in class, they will undoubtedly have trouble completing their homework assignments correctly and efficiently. There are also times when we as parents are not familiar enough with their assignments, and it's difficult to guide our kids and help them navigate through each math problem, essay, diorama, and science experiment. At times like these, seeking professional help from a tutoring service might be helpful. A fellow mother that is all too familiar this situation is Ellen Sandweiss. Ellen shares her insights into the world of homework help, here on The Knowledge Nests.
