The Learning Institute
Individual Tutoring Program
"The Key to Success"
Reading, Writing & Math are the core subjects explored at
the Learning Institute. Whether it is pre-reading skills or
college level math, the Learning Institute can meet your
needs with qualified instructors and flexible hours.
The
programs focus on three steps: assessment testing,
parent/school cooperation and commitment. Upon registering
for the program, each student is given assessment testing to
determine strengths and weaknesses in the areas of math and
reading. The next step involves open communication between
the student, parent, teacher and tutor. The final step is to
make a commitment to learning by attending sessions
regularly. By enrolling in the program you become part of
our team - and the goal of our team is to make learning FUN!
The
Individual Tutoring Program is offered at both the North and
South Shore locations. There is an open enrollment policy
throughout the year and summer jump-start programs are also
available for all grade levels.
