Dear Mr. Greene:
We can definitely see improvement with Don's study
skills and test scores. Thank you so much for all your help.
Steven,
Thank-You for your summary of last nights session. I encouraged Scott to
ask for help in his other subjects and was glad to hear you worked a bit on
geometry. He was impressed that you had a copy of his math
book.
Mrs.

Thanks for the report. Allison is enjoying working with
you. She has worked with other tutors before and says that you really know
how to teach!!
4pm on Thursdays is fine.
Thanks
To Whom It May Concern,
In all after-school programs, one of the most important and often lacking elements for success is communication with parents. Parents care about the progress their child is making. They want to know how things are coming on a regular basis. Yet often times, offering this type of regular communication is difficult.
This is where ASAP comes in. ASAP is a program developed specifically to facilitate this kind of communication. It allows tutors to offer parents more than just help with their children's homework. It gives them a vehicle for keeping parents informed.
Beyond that, ASAP helps keep a busy after-school program running efficiently. Because of its built in attendance features, it makes accounting for who's there and who's not a breeze. It also allows users to immediately inform parents when a child has missed a scheduled session, important for both safety and disciplinary reasons.
A third, more subtle benefit I found from using ASAP was that it required me to take the time to reflect upon my own performance each day. It gave me a chance to think about what worked well, what needed improvement and where I wanted to go next with each student. This made me a much better tutor without a doubt.
I would highly recommend ASAP for any program that wishes to achieve these goals of increased parental communication, program efficiency and higher tutoring standards. And this is to say nothing of the statistical information that ASAP allows its users to gather and analyze over time. But don't take my word for it. Try the demo for yourself. I'm sure you will see why running ASAP will become standard operating procedure for any serious after-school program in no time.

"Thanks so much for the detailed report. Allison's teacher, Miss Jenkin, has commented how homework club has helped teach her organizational skills which has turned her grades around. Thank you so much!!! Keep up the good work!"
"Thank you for all YOUR help and support. Josh is the kind of child that is often described as "challenging" which may be something of an understatement, and we appreciate you working with him, guiding him and tutoring him. I'm sure you'll see him again next year."
"Thank you very much for your comprehensive progress report on Lindsey today. I am really happy to hear that Lindsey is doing well and appreciate that you go beyond reporting on academic issues to discuss class participation. I am extremely impressed with the depth of your reporting and with the fact that, to date, the homework club has been exactly as advertised."
"Dear Ms. Kender--First, I want to tell you how much I appreciate what a difference this has made in Anthony's life. He is feeling so much more confident, he is taking initiative at home to do homework, he is not fighting me about going to HWC. Thank you--and I love getting the nightly report. You guys do a wonderful job."
