+- name: Parent Consultations
+ highlight: >
+ For parents seeking advice for facilitating their child's learning
+ description: >
+ After I have worked with your student for a few sessions, you may request a
+ Parent Consultation during which I will discuss the strengths and areas for
+ improvement I have seen in your child and the ways you may be able to help.
+ All parents want to help their children succeed, but sometimes the way we
+ offer that assistance is not the way children want to receive it. Learn how
+ to meet your child where they are and support them in ways which resonate
+ with their unique needs. These sessions are not tell-alls of what your
+ student and I discuss during our sessions, as I feel that trust is central
+ to successful tutoring relationships.
