Our tutors emphasize a hands-on, interactive learning approach. This can make math more for teenagers and help to develop a deeper understanding of the concepts. Brighterly tutors focus on problem-solving, which is a crucial skill in math. Students won’t just learn formulas; they’ll practice applying them to solve real-world problems.

Erin Beers,  7th grade language arts teacher and resource creator from Cincinnati, supports the same studying approach:



“As a middle school teacher, I work with a wide array of different learners, and these simple strategies work well with procrastinating students”

1. Break Down Assignments. Feeling overwhelmed and under pressure is one of the biggest distractions. Sometimes you need to help students simplify larger tasks so they can feel the momentum of accomplishment.
2. Open Spaces. Another strategy is to let your student stand at a high-top table or counter while working. This gives them more freedom to move their body while working. The goal here is to reduce feelings of constraint and pressure.

Causes of homework procrastination
Two main reasons for procrastination are task aversiveness (e.g., a task being perceived as boring or unpleasant), and timing of rewards and punishments (e.g., a task having rewards or punishments that are far in the future).

Therefore, it’s natural that students don’t want to spend their time on a boring task that they don’t understand how it will apply to their lives. Considering the fact that we live in a world of distractions, boring homework is the last thing that a child wants to see.

Dr. James A. Barham, an education expert and the Senior Vice President of Academic Influence, confirms it with his vast experience.



“The key to figuring out how to stop procrastinating homework is to understand why it happens in the first place.”

Often, students put off homework because they find the work boring, frustrating, or overwhelming. Breaking assignments down into smaller chunks can help. Tackling one piece at a time makes the overall task less daunting. Establishing a consistent homework routine is another key to success. I advise parents to work with their children to set a regular homework time each day, free from any distractions.

Another common reason for procrastinating on homework is undiagnosed learning difficulties. Multiple researches show that ADHD is one of the most common neurodiverse conditions that affects productivity. Individuals with ADHD have difficulty delaying gratification and shift responding to a variety of tasks often resulting in inaccuracy.
