ACTUALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL

Why Should You Choose Us?

We assess the psychoeducational needs of our clients
so that we may have insight into the entire "educational
picture".  This assessment allows us to work with the
client holistically.   We will not simply impose some
prepackaged, ready-made  program upon our clients.   
The program administrators review each assessment.    
We then create a customized plan after careful review of
our individualized assessment,  parent/guardian
interviews, homework, tests, teacher notes and other
qualitative and quantitative information.

THE SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM

Success is built into our program. At every tutoring
session, the student achieves success by completing
specific learning objectives. Students demonstrate that
they have mastered one skill before moving on to the
next skill. Each success results in improved self esteem
and confidence.  A low student teacher ratio ensures
immediate and individual access to trained and caring
tutors. As a result, each student receives a wealth of
personal attention.  Our motivational system provides an
incentive for consistent and continued student efforts.  
Continual assessment of student progress is an integral
part of the program. An ongoing review of goals and
objectives closely tracks the student work
.
THE WHOLE PICTURE

A comprehensive assessment is administered to the
client to present a complete picture of the academic
strengths and weaknesses. This norm-referenced
assessment identifies and pinpoints the specific skill
areas in which the student is experiencing difficulty.
These skill gaps are what lead to falling behind in school.  
 
THE INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM

Our program is based on specifically identified skill gaps.
A mastery-based learning plan is carefully developed and
individualized to focus on identified skill gaps and on the
development and mastery of new skills.
