More than tutoring

Child writing in workbook

When it comes to helping your child learn, you may have heard of tutoring as a way to provide additional support with homework and classwork. However, there is another approach called learning services that can be even more effective for some children.

The main difference between tutoring and learning services is the focus. While tutoring tends to center on completing homework and class assignments, learning services are customized to address your child's unique skills and needs. A thorough assessment is conducted to determine where your child may be struggling and what foundational skills need to be strengthened.

The emphasis in learning services is always on building core skills that will benefit your child in all areas of learning. This means that the focus is not solely on completing current homework, but rather on addressing the underlying issues that may be causing difficulty with specific subjects or concepts.

Another key difference is the way practice is conducted. In tutoring, it may involve completing worksheets or reading passages multiple times. In learning services, practice is focused on building fluency with core skills so they become easier and quicker for your child. This allows them to use less energy and focus on the foundational aspects, freeing them up to focus on learning new concepts.

Lastly, learning services involve more than just academic support. We also help your child identify how they learn best, build strong learner repertoires, and advocate for their learning. By providing a comprehensive approach, we help your child develop the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
