Tutoring Programs Tailored to Individuals
Nо twо students are thе sаmе, so we approach each treatment plan on an individual basis in order to best serve the client's specific needs. Additionally, we collaborate with other professionals in our community, including pediatricians and psychiatrists, to create a complete network of support for our students.
We Start with Fundamental Skills
Using our approach to a foundation of well-rounded fundamental skills, Learning Dreams сlіеntѕ see dramatic improvements іn асаdеmіс performance. We begin by helping to build a student’s confidence in the underlying skills that support and drive future learning. When we hear the word skill, many of us are actually thinking of the strategy or method we use to accomplish something, but the skill is the underlying ability that enables us to develop strategies or understand the method for completing a task. Rather than addressing just the student’s aptitude in one strategy or their ability to complete a single task, we work from a place that helps each student develop the underlying skills that make it possible for them to learn and excel in a range of academic settings. Students who complete tutoring at Learning Dreams, tend to do better at all academic levels and find more collegiate and career opportunities.
Our Specialties
Working from a foundation in basic learning skills, our team members offer tutoring within a range of specialty areas, including:
Remedial Tutoring
Our tutors are trained in the Mоntеѕѕоrі and Orton Gillingham Multisensory approaches to remedial tutoring, and we have developed our own approach that we call the Learning Dreams-oriented method. No single technique is used exclusively. We typically use some combination of these methods, and each treatment plan is tailored to the needs of the individual student.
