For most elementary students, reading and writing comprehension and mathematics are the areas requiring most attention, posing the biggest concern to parents. Many middle school students struggle with time management, as well as study skills and organization as they transition from elementary level course work to middle school level course work.
OUR PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS:
Our middle school tutoring team follows our main philosophy and mission for all of our programs: to assist their students until they are satisfied that the education objective has been achieved.
WHERE WE START:
We start with an informal evaluation of the student’s strengths beginning at their current grade level based on state standards and state examinations.
WHEN & HOW EVALUATIONS OCCUR:
Evaluations occur at the student’s first session. Specific evaluations are designed by the Education Director and Tutor assigned to work with your student. It is our policy, however, to avoid unnecessary testing as well as the expense of testing. Before the student’s evaluation, please send our office any pertinent information that may assist in establishing a tutoring program (report cards, STAAR results, IEPs, etc.).
WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR STUDENT’S TEACHER(S):
With parental consent, the Education Director and your student’s tutor(s) are able to directly coordinate our customized learning plan for your student with that of their classroom teachers! All we need is a signed parental consent form.
