How Does Tutoring Club Work?
A Skills Assessment presents a picture of the academic strengths and weaknesses
of your child. It discovers the causes of academic frustration and pinpoints
the specific skill areas in which your child is experiencing difficulty. These
skill gaps are what lead to academic underachievement, to "falling behind" in
school. All Tutoring Club programs are based on specifically identified skill
gaps.
A mastery-based Learning Plan is carefully developed, individualized to focus
on your child's identified skill gaps and on the development of new skills.
-
Success is built into the Tutoring Club methodology. Clearly stated goals are set for each skill gap. At every tutoring session, the student achieves success by completing specific learning objectives. Students must demonstrate that they have
"mastered" one skill before moving on to the next skill. Such success results
in improved self-esteem and confidence and a "can-do" attitude toward
schoolwork.
-
A low student-teacher ratio ensures immediate and individual access to trained
and caring tutors. Every student receives a wealth of personal attention.
-
A motivational system provides an incentive for consistent and continued
student efforts.
-
Continual assessment of student progress is an integral part of the program. An
on-going review of goals and objectives closely tracks the student's work.
-
Vital information is shared with parents and teachers. Parents are kept
up-to-date with regularly scheduled meetings with the Tutoring Club Director.

Why Tutoring Works.
A new school year begins and your children dream of success.
They embark upon the new school year hopeful of starting off right, wanting to
achieve, desirous of making a good impression and of doing their work with
positive results. They yearn for the approval and praise that comes from
successful participation in class work/tests.
As the weeks pass by, some children succeed and, with confidence and
self-esteem, keep moving ahead. Others stumble, become frustrated, lose
confidence in their own abilities and, as they fall further behind in their
schoolwork, slowly begin to "tune-out".
The classroom is demanding; it moves at a steady pace. It is no wonder some
students miss fundamentals or concepts and drop behind others. It is hard to
catch up when classmates are competing for the attention of the teacher.
Even high-performance youngsters may not have mastered the art of time
management, organizational skills or test preparation. The enjoyment of
learning may have passed them by. They are harried, stressed and worried about
their competitive position. They may need a brush-up or some intensive tutoring
in one subject for a short period of time. Perhaps they want to master a
foreign language or need SAT preparation.
A good tutoring program offers personal attention and caring, instruction and
correction, inspiration and motivation. It connects positively with the student
and engages him/her in the management of his/her own learning. With effective tutoring,
children will be able to demonstrate to themselves that they are as capable as
their classmates of learning new skills.
A good tutoring program will help students at all levels of academic
accomplishment. Well developed study habits and organizational skills will
result in significantly improved schoolwork and test scores and, most
important, will become the foundation for future learning.

What can a parent do?
Set your child up for academic success. A parent is the child's strongest
advocate. A little time, planning and money spent now is a lot of time, money
and stress saved later.
