Third grade is typically the time when children are separated from their peers based on how they are performing academically. There are those labeled “gifted” or “advanced”; then you have those who fall in the middle of the pack, and those who are at risk of falling behind.
Every parent wants their child to succeed in school, and sometimes that takes extra outside attention and academic support. Here are five places in nearby Oak Park where children can receive tutoring, no matter where they fall academically.
