FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our approach is simple, we work with you to determine your needs and goals, and then match your child with one of our skilled and experienced instructors.

The program begins by focusing on an overall approach to learning: study skills and academic organization. The goal is always to address immediate needs and to have a lasting impact on performance and confidence.
Our instructors primarily use the curriculum your child is using in the classroom rather than having an entirely separate study program like some center-based programs. We have found that this approach more quickly and directly improves performance and confidence in the classroom, and feels more like help rather than extra work.

Following the school’s curriculum allows the student to keep up with his studies and allows the tutor an opportunity to review anything the child did not understand in the classroom. Using the student’s school curriculum as a guideline, the tutor may introduce supplementary materials and exercises to illuminate difficult concepts.

Typically, the tutor meets with the student once or twice a week for one to two hours each session. Depending on whether the student has catch-up work, late assignments, motivational concerns, or learning challenges, the recommended frequency may be higher. Ultimately, the frequency is determined by the parents.

Yes. ABC Tutors knows that children with learning disabilities have special needs when it comes to instruction. Many of our tutors have Special Education degrees, certification and/or experience working with the most common learning disabilities. Where appropriate, our tutors will be able to work with your school’s teachers and counselors on your child’s IEP (Individual Education Plan). We have tutors experienced in:

• ADD – Attention Deficit Disorder
• ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Dyslexia – Reading Learning Disability
• Dyscalcula / Dyscalculia – Math Learning Disability

While private tutoring is not a silver bullet, it is almost invariably a positive component of an overall program to help your child achieve his or her full potential and overcome the special challenges he or she may face. Please contact us to discuss your child’s specific needs.

For convenience, families generally prefer that we meet in the student’s home. If you prefer, or if the home is not conducive to getting the most out of the tutoring sessions, we can also arrange for other convenient sites, such as a library, office or community center.

Our tutors are credentialed teachers, private-school teachers, former teachers or degreed professionals. ABC Tutors checks all references, conducts background checks and personally interviews every tutor. Our tutors are selected not only for their experience and credentials but also for their dedication to helping children succeed.

No. At ABC Tutors we believe that once a student’s or family’s goals are accomplished our mission is complete. You won’t be bound by a long-term contract to continue with our tutoring service. We’ll be here for you if you need us again! And if you do, we know you’ll call us.

Yes. If your schedule allows, continuing with tutoring during school breaks can be very helpful getting your child caught up with or even ahead of their schoolwork.

During the summer break, having a tutor work with your child on subjects they have had difficulty with can start the next school year on the right foot. Research shows that continued instruction through the summer months can have a dramatic impact on academic performance. As always, in home tutoring can be easily scheduled to accommodate vacation schedules and other summer activities.

The main advantages to ABC Tutors include true one-to-one instruction, convenience, flexibility, and the use of your child’s own curriculum.

Convenience – ABC Tutors come to your home or other convenient location without the need to add one more drop-off and pick-up.

Flexibility – ABC Tutors work with the individual schedules of busy families. Tutoring sessions can easily be coordinated with other extra-curricular activities.

Curriculum

Rather than using a canned prescription, ABC Tutors begin with the same curriculum that your child is using at their school, and augment those materials with targeted exercises and activities based on your child’s specific needs.

ABC Tutors does not believe “one size fits all,” and we don’t think having your child do “double work” is usually the best solution. Achieving success with the same curriculum they are using at their school builds confidence and transfers success in tutoring to sustainable success in the classroom.

An experienced ABC Tutors Education Consultant meets with you and your child to discuss the current challenges facing the student and other factors that may affect the student’s potential achievement, as well as any questions or concerns you may have regarding the tutoring process. The free consultation may be completed by phone, or during a home visit.

Based on the information shared in this consultation, the Educational Consultant assigns a Tutor who has the best match of experience, skills, and personality to achieve success with the individual student.
