Subject-Specific Tutoring
Exceptional tutoring is provided by well-trained, experienced teachers (e.g., learning specialists, reading specialists, math specialists). At the elementary level, the intervention is usually in developing and enriching reading, math, or writing skills, including keyboarding. At the secondary level, we provide specialized intervention for subject/content areas. This includes grade-level Math, Science, Writing, History, and World Languages, as well as Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate (IB) Curricula. Intervention is both for academic enhancement and remediation.
Test Prep
Test preparation and intervention are geared toward familiarizing the student with the standardized test protocol and test-taking strategies. Services are implemented to address the SAT, ACT, SSAT, ISEE, TACHS, and GED.
