Student Programs
For people of all ages, an Educational Assessment at the Reading Center helps determine the nature and degree of a person’s language learning difficulties. It identifies the student’s individual strengths and weaknesses in all aspects of reading and is necessary to pinpoint a student’s individual needs prior to beginning one-on-one tutoring.
Application for Reading Center Services
Educational Therapy (tutoring) pairs a student with a specially trained Educational Therapist for one-on-one intensive sessions designed with each student’s individual needs in mind. The Reading Center employs direct, systematic and multi-sensory instruction connecting phoenemic sounds to letters to words.
Math Tutoring Our tutors specializing in mathematics are familiar with the learning styles and challenges of students with dyslexia and reading disabilities. They can help students comprehend complex problems and improve performance.
