Specialized Our specialty is the cognitive process—the

process of thinking and learning. Sounds

simple, but it’s not. There’s so much to

consider when thinking about thinking:

memory, attention, perception, problem-

solving, and mental imagery. These skills are

needed for comprehending, remembering,

and completing work efficiently and without

frustration.

Kids start off with the most basic thinking

skills and gradually work their way up to more

complex skills. The good news is that research has shown that these complex skills, which

are the ones needed for academic achievement, are more learned than innate. This means

that these skills may be improved through training and transferred to academic tasks! How

exciting for your child!

It’s also exciting for us because this is where our passion and expertise come into play. We can help a child who does not have the need-

ed skills to read a paragraph, grasp a math concept, or recall the main idea of a story. We can provide a child with specialized strategies

to gather the information, analyze it, and communicate it. We can make a child consciously aware of the best way to listen, visualize,

focus, attend, and remember. These new, efficient skills become automatic, and the old, counter-productive behaviors are phased out.

With these valuable skills strengthened, kids learn more productively and attitudes toward learning improve!

Individualized We are dedicated to improving the lives of children, and our strength is doing it one child at a time. When your child comes to Specialty

Tutoring, there won’t be any other kids in the session. It’s just your child, one-on-one, with the same Learning Specialist. This promotes

continuity, establishes rapport, and encourages maximum effort from each child. Plus, by giving positive and immediate feedback, and

making your child aware of progress, confidence can soar! Here’s how it works:

We begin with an initial evaluation at our learning center. Your child will meet one-

on-one with a test administrator to determine strengths and weaknesses in both

the targeted curriculum areas of your choice and the underlying cognitive learning

skills associated with those curriculum areas. A parent consultation is provided to

discuss the results.

Next, we prepare your child’s individualized program based on the initial evalua-

tion and your input. This unique plan allows us to focus all of the tutoring time di-

rectly on your child’s specific needs in order to have the most meaningful impact.

Targeted areas are modified as regular progress evaluations occur.

Finally, we will contact you to arrange a tutoring schedule. Sessions are offered

year-round. We require a minimum of two one-hour sessions per week and expect

consistent attendance. For those who qualify, financial assistance is available for

both the initial evaluation and tutoring sessions.

targeted curriculum areas, and programs.

Reach out for something truly special. It will be worth it!
