Why Group Tutoring?

Some families and children feel more comfortable in a small group setting than one-on-one, or are on a tight budget.

Our small teacher to student ratio (1:6) ensures maximal attention and delivery of educational material.

We are happy to offer discounted tutoring sessions to small groups of students that would like to focus on improving or enhancing their Math, Reading and Writing skills.

What is it?

Remediation programs are designed to close the gap between what a student knows and what they’re expected to know. In other words, content that students previously failed to learn must be re-taught in order to achieve expected competencies in core academic skills such as literacy (ELA) and numeracy (Math). Ideally, remediation should be sought done early in the learning process, before additional skills are layered in or more formal mastery or summative exams are administered.

How is this done?

To gather enough insight to recognize the large breakdown in knowledge that students are experiencing, a comprehensive diagnostic assessment is needed. This allows teachers to support struggling students with focused learning opportunities, building on previous learning and focusing on the specific omissions in student thinking experienced the first time around, to achieve the necessary academic success.

Who is it for?

Our remediation programs are for students who are demonstrating significant difficulties in reading, writing, and/or math.

Programs

Personalized Tutoring in Group and Private Setting STEAM Camps

What is it?

Acceleration programs are designed to allow high-ability students to learn at the speed and level that best matches their academic abilities, which may sometimes mean skipping content, but the idea is that such students already understand their grade-level content enough and should not have to repeat it.

How is this done?

A comprehensive diagnostic assessment is needed to assess high-ability students and the extent of their potential. This allows teachers to support advanced students with focused learning opportunities, in order to challenge them with more advanced content that is both demanding and appropriate, as well as build higher-order thinking skills.

Who is it for?

Acceleration programs are best suited for students who are demonstrating continuous academic excellence in school. Such students may often find themselves bored with their current school curriculum or find it too easy, and thus are yearning for a challenge. These students also highly benefit from enrichment programs that highly appeal to their natural abilities. Nonetheless, it is important for parents to assess their child’s maturity level before seeking such acceleration.

Programs

Personalized Tutoring in Group and Private Setting STEAM Camps

What is it?

Enrichment programs are designed to go beyond the standards framework, in which the core curriculum in various subject areas are expanded and explored in more depth or from a different perspective than is generally provided. This means that rather than going faster, you actually slow down a little. These enrichment clubs/activities can take on many forms and can enhance academic, social, oratory, critical thinking, and teamwork skills and require teachers that push students to take their natural curiosity to the next level independently.

Who is it for?

Though all students can benefit from enrichment programs, as they offer richer and more varied educational experiences, they are best suited for more able or accelerated students, due to the demand on higher-order thinking and a strong foundation of core skills.
