Find the Right Type of Tutoring for You
Remediation
Remediation focuses on the student becoming proficient in a certain area or subject. It is meant to give the student content skills that he needs to master concepts, reach benchmarks, and stay caught up with peers. Remediation is best for the student who is struggling with grade-level concepts or is falling behind in certain subjects.
Coaching
Coaching focuses on teaching the student how to learn. It is meant to give the student the skills that he needs to meet academic goals and succeed academically and is best for students who struggle with time management, organization, and study skills and who seem to be overwhelmed with the workload of school.
Support
Support focuses on the combination of remediation and coaching by addressing both content and skills. It is meant to give the student specific content skills in trouble areas while also giving them the study skills needed to be successful. Support is best for the student who seems to be struggling across the board and who is at risk of falling behind his peers.
Intervention
Intervention focuses on deeper-level learning strategies when a significant deficiency is present. It is meant to give the student the strategies to become proficient in certain subjects or skills. Intervention is best for the student who is considerably behind his peers, has differentiated learning needs, and is potentially at risk of failing.
Enrichment
Enrichment focuses on the student’s learning at a deeper or more accelerated level. It is meant to engage and challenge the student in a particular area of interest or strength. Enrichment is best for the student who wants more challenge and needs more in-depth learning.
Test Preparation
Test preparation focuses on teaching the skills and techniques needed to take tests. Test preparation is meant to prepare the student for success in taking tests. Test preparation is best for the student who has an upcoming standardized test and the student who struggles with test anxiety.
