A learning specialist is more than a tutor. Learning specialists are educators equipped with the training and expertise necessary to work with students who experience challenges to learning. As learning specialists, we are sensitive to the pace, level and tolerance that individual students bring. We take what we know about how students work, give them the academic skills they need and work to build their self-esteem. We want them to feel good about themselves and to realize, ‘I can be successful.’
A Learning Specialist understands that every student has unique needs and abilities that influence learning. By discovering a student’s learning style and where their strengths lie, we can custom design a plan of instruction that teaches to these strengths. Our individualized approach helps the student to learn strategies to better process, analyze and express information.
From this approach, our students experience:
| • |
Enhanced learning |
| • |
Improved organizational skills and study habits |
| • |
Higher grades |
| • |
Greater self-esteem |
| • |
Positive attitudes toward school, teachers
and family |
All of our Learning Specialists are professional, degreed teachers who have specific training and experience in working with students who have learning differences. Each undergoes a thorough verification of credentials and a criminal background check.
