Step 1 – Pre-test Assessment

We conduct a pre-test to assess the student’s specific weaknesses in the subject area chosen by the parent. A parent may request Language Arts or Mathematics at any grade level, or Science in grade levels 5th-8th.

Step 2 – Student Learning Plan

We write a Student Learning Plan (SLP) based on the results of the diagnostic assessment. We discuss with the parent the student’s weakness and set goals for the student to achieve.

Step 3 – School District Approval

We must submit the Student Learning Plan to the school district for approval. Parents must also approve the SLP by signing a copy that will be kept in the student records and forwarded to the school district office.

Step 4 – Begin Tutoring Services

Once the school district has approved the SLP, we may begin tutoring services with the student. Typical services are in-home, 2 or 3 times a week, for 1-hour each session. Days and times are chosen by the parent in conjunction with the tutor. Meeting on a regular schedule is imperative for the student to receive the most benefits and largest learning gains.

Step 5 – Post-test Assessment

At the completion of each program, we conduct a post-test to determine the amount of progress the student has made and if he/she achieved the Student Learning Plan goals. This information is then provided to the parent and the school district for reporting purposes.
