Homework Helpers Tutoring: More than a Traditional Learning Center

Article by Josh Goodkin

Originally published in Bridgewater City Lifestyle

Let me introduce myself, I’m Josh Goodkin, founder of Homework Helpers – a tutoring and test preparation center in New Jersey that offers personalized education solutions for students of all ages. At just 24 years old, I left the corporate world to open my tutoring center in my hometown of Long Valley, NJ. In just 10 years, we have quickly expanded the business’s footprint globally, and now have 40 tutors on staff who work with more than 250 students, mostly in Morris, Warren, Hunterdon, Somerset and Sussex counties. Most recently, with the transition to virtual sessions, we now have clients in India, Morocco, Canada and nine states! 

I’m very proud of our resilience and the quickness we turned an in-person tutoring company into an international tutoring company serving students with the same quality and attention we were known for pre-COVID-19. Our entire staff deserves the credit as they quickly learned how to effectively tutor virtually. I’m also so proud of the community I grew up in and the community we are located in. 

My story dates back to my childhood in a few key ways. As a kid, my sisters and I grew up working with tutors for help with our homework, and for me personally – math. These educators were so pivotal in my life, so much so that they were considered part of the family. They came over a few times a week to help us learn and grow, and even stayed for dinner. Funny enough, at my Bat Mitzvah, there was a whole table reserved just for tutors! In being exposed to tutors at a young age, I quickly recognized how tutoring could be such an instrumental tool in helping kids not only get by in school, but flourish. 

As I got older, I worked summers as a camp counselor and babysitter. In doing so, I recognized how much I loved helping kids, and decided to go to college to become a pediatrician. Unfortunately, despite the tutoring I had received myself, math was still not my strong suit! So, I chose to take a step back and re-evaluate, and in doing so, I realized that there was another way I could work with kids and help them reach their fullest potential, and that was by creating a company that mirrored my own tutoring experiences growing up. 

Homework Helpers was born in 2011, on the premise that tutoring is not a one-size-fits-all industry. Every student has a unique set of needs and learns differently – and our services help them reach their goals in more personalized ways, regardless of grade, subject or ability. 

Our goal is to give teachers a place to share their passion for teaching and helping students achieve success. We are a business that welcomes all students, and we serve each with kindness, respect and the idea that every student is unique and therefore requires an approach customized to them. At Homework Helpers, we strive to boost grades while providing students with the confidence to succeed in the classroom and beyond. 

We are a local business to our roots, with many tutors’ alumni of the local schools or living in Long Valley and its surrounding towns.  In fact, many on our staff often have had the same teachers as some of the students they currently work with. In addition, we sponsor and support our local sports leagues, boy/girl scouts, local school theaters, churches, dance/cheerleading squads and more.  We love our community and want to support them as much as they have supported us.

Unlike other tutoring centers, the sessions offered at Homework Helpers are 100% customizable. This means that parents can build their own packages, and our tutors create personalized sessions for each student based on their learning needs – from ABCs to SATs. We’re constantly creating, collaborating and discussing new ways that we can keep students motivated and learning to the best of their abilities. Examples include a prizing system where students in grades K-8 can earn tickets for working hard, and these can eventually be turned in for prizes of different values – ranging from small stuffed animals to larger toys and gift cards. Students in our SAT and ACT programs can also enter our quarterly contests, where winners of certain categories can walk away with TVs, laptops and more great things. 

We believe that we’re not just a facility to feed the mind, but also the stomach. Students often come to us after school where they haven’t eaten anything since lunchtime, so we offer daily pizza for everyone and bagels on weekends, a full snack bar stocked with all the foods that kids love – and so much more. 

Overall, we don’t want kids to view tutoring as painful or something they dread doing. We’re here to help them in whichever way they need, and that means offering them a comfortable experience where they’ll feel encouraged to reach their fullest potential. 

Currently, our focus is on preventing the “COVID Slide.” Every summer, we see people comment on the “Summer Slide” – an 8-week period of time where it’s been shown that many students lose some of the learnings they’ve gained over the school year. Now, COVID-19 has added a new element of concern for many 

Families and educators worry how the absence of traditional school settings and summer learning programs will impact students in the fall and the long term. We’re working on creating programs to help kids “brush off the rust,” regain better study habits, refresh skills that may have fallen off during this time, and to give them the confidence and skills they need to be successful in the fall – whether it be virtually, or in-person. 

Sample programs include a Math Transition class for kids who are graduating 8th grade and entering high school, helping them understand how to handle the rigors of a new school and different levels of expectations. We’re also offering a new Debate Club to help students stay ahead of current events and learn how to formulate opinions based on research, and even a Home Economics session to teach kids everything from how to write a check to how to do laundry – things that may not be taught in school, but are pivotal for them in terms of life skills. All of these programs are accessible to kids online, and our hope is to bring them back in-person in smaller group settings during the month of July as New Jersey continues to re-open. In addition, We are focused on creating lawn signs for everyone local senior to display their name and the college they are committed to attending. We want to give all seniors the proper recognition they deserve and might not be getting during these abnormal times. 

The hit of COVID-19 has certainly been the most interesting time for us as a company, as I’m sure many business owners can relate. When the pandemic first hit New Jersey, students were in the midst of wrapping up their school years, which meant preparing for finals, studying for the SATs and ACTs, and for many high schoolers, determining their college plans. COVID-19 put much of this on hold, and truthfully - stopped our business in its tracks. We were forced to close our doors, and sit down to re-evaluate how we could keep students motivated and learning from the comforts of their homes. From there, we created our first-ever virtual tutoring model – which allowed tutors to continue working with students via video conferencing. 

Beyond that, we quickly saw that learning at home is not easy for many kids – and especially can be tough for their parents, who are worried about keeping them engaged. With that in mind, we launched Homework Helpers Happenings – a series of free education workshops each week that help kids get ahead, and stay ahead in their learning. This includes sessions like COVID & College, a weekly Q&A session with a professional college advisor who teaches the ins and outs of college applications, and even daily Story Time for younger kids – where our tutors dress up in fun costumes and read popular children’s books aloud. The best part is that just like our virtual tutoring options, these workshops are accessible to students worldwide – so no matter where you live or what you’re learning, there’s a great session available for you that you can easily tune into. 

If there is a silver lining in all of this or a lesson to be learned, it’s that when things are going well it’s hard to step back and recognize areas for growth or improvement. COVID-19, while uncertain and unsettling, gave us a much-needed wake-up call. I was forced to take a moment to become more retrospective and re-evaluate the ways and means that I can further grow my business and expand my services with the goal of helping as many students as possible. I’ve realized that it’s important to think of obstacles as opportunities to get creative. For us, this allowed our company to become even stronger, impact more and ultimately, become even more successful than we were before.

Learn about the Changes and How We’re Adapting to Serve Students

By Josh Goodkin & Celia Turello

Your goals for 2024 aren’t the only things that are changing. The SAT, a household name for nearly a century (first launched in 1926!), is undergoing a makeover with the goal of re-establishing itself as a relevant tool in the college admission process. Further, College Board, the creator of the test, has also cited a need to realign with national education standards and a growing reliance on technology for the shift, which impacts students beginning in March of this year.

While the departure from its traditional format has left parents and students searching for information, many students seem to be embracing the shift. A recent study revealed that 80% of students found it less stressful to take the test in a digital format than with paper and pencil.

With less than two months before the first national test, we have been busy fielding calls and questions from parents curious about the upcoming changes.

Here are some key changes students and parents should be aware of about the Digital SAT:

• Students are still required to take the test at a testing center, which will be overseen by proctors.
• Students will be able to take the test on the College Board’s digital app, Bluebook , either on their own laptop or tablet or on a computer issued by the testing center.
• The new SAT is now 2 hours, a whopping 1 hour shorter than the previous paper and pencil test!
• Graphing calculators are now allowed throughout the entirety of the math portion of the test, and if students do not have one, one will be provided for them on the test-taking software.
• The SAT is tailored to test students on national benchmarks, which include: Reading comprehension, Standard Conventional English, Algebra I & II, Geometry, and Trigonometry. These are tested in 2 sections, known as Reading and Writing and Math.
• The digital SAT uses an algorithm to score the sections of the test. The first modules in both the Reading and Writing section and Math section will be scored, and then prompt students to either an easier or more difficult second module. Those who are directed to the harder module will be given questions that, when answered correctly, will hold more weight.
• The SAT will still function on a 1,600-point scale; each section (Reading and Writing, Math) will be out of 800. Your composite score is determined by the sum of your Reading and Writing and Math scores.
• Students will be able to receive their scores in a matter of days, which is way shorter than the previous two-week waiting period!

A HIGHER SCORE  STARTS HERE.

The most important thing to know about test preparation is that excelling on an exam takes more than just knowing the material, just like excelling at public speaking takes more than just knowing the right words.

Alongside knowing all the material, standardized tests and AP exams require test-taking strategies, time management skills, organization, and emotional strength. Our process goes beyond teaching the subject matter to teach students all the skills necessary to master the test. 

The best part about our process is that all of our tutoring is one-on-one. This approach eliminates the social pressures that often hold students back from admitting confusion or difficulty. Each student will receive the attention and guidance needed to succeed come test day.

At Homework Helpers, a higher score is within reach!

Points on the SAT

Students we've worked with, points on  the act, what makes us different.

You've probably seen it.  Slogans like, "Raise your score 500 points...GUARANTEED!"   Of course we're exaggerating, but the reality is that many people fall for these false promises only to be disappointed later on. Why?  Because unless that company is taking the test for the student, there's absolutely no way to make such a guarantee. 

When parents ask about our "Guarantee Policy," our answer is very simple and transparent.  

    OUR HOMEWORK HELPERS GUARANTEE:

 Our tutors are trained in the art of taking the test. That means constantly staying up to date with the latest test updates.

 We use the most up to date testing materials to give students the most accurate sense of what to expect on test day. 

We will monitor student progress and make appropriate recommendations to achieve desired results.

We will be your student's constant source of support and encouragement. We will motivate each student to reach their full potential!

Our Test Preparation Process

The steps necessary for success..

The test prep process starts with a benchmark practice assessment(s). This practice assessment is a realistic, retired released test (SAT/ACT) or a test that closely aligns with whichever test your student wants to prepare for.

Score & Analyze

This assessment is hand-scored by a member of our team, usually the same day.  During this time, we'll analyze the students' performance, identifying question types and concepts that will be reviewed once sessions begin. 

Review & Plan

 Our staff member will sit with each student and family to review the results, answer questions and make a customized plan.  The plan will include the frequency and focus of the sessions and what the goal score should be. 

Measure Progress

 Throughout the test preparation process- every 2-3 weeks- students are encouraged to sit for the full length test as a way of measuring progress and reevaluating, if necessary, the students plan of action.  

OUR SESSIONS

The structure of our sessions explained.

Let's get down to work!  During the first hour, the student and tutor will cover incorrect questions from the benchmark practice test.  The tutor will identify concepts to review, teach strategy and incorporate testing and time management techniques.  

 Second Hour

Time to measure progress! Now that the student has spent the first hour learning, discussing strategy and gaining more confidence, it's now time to put that knowledge to use. Students will test in the area they just reviewed.  Once completed, the test is scored and the student is given feedback on their results. This test will be reviewed during the next session. 

Our college planning team will create an action plan based on the services that are agreed upon in the initial meeting.  All this will be communicated to the parent and student, including setting goals and deadlines to have objectives achieved.
