Academic Programs

THE TUTORING CENTER's innovative system gives your child far more one-to-one instruction in the following areas than he or she will ever receive in a classroom full of children or a small group:

QUESTION: "At what age should my child start tutoring?
ANSWER: 4 or 5, OF COURSE!

When it comes to your child's education, can you really afford to wait until he or she begins to display signs of difficulty before you start providing assistance? If you've ever wondered when would be the right time to begin tutoring for a child, the answer is unquestionably KINDERGARTEN! We have never met or spoken with a parent who intentionally wished their child would have difficultly in school. In fact, of the thousands of parents we have spoken with over the years, the single most common statement we've heard has been: "I wish we'd have gotten help sooner!"

For this very reason, THE TUTORING CENTER is extremely excited and proud of its newest addition to our already award-winning line-up of programs: THE TUTORING CENTER's "Little Geniuses in Training" Kindergarten Program!

The "Little Geniuses in Training" Kindergarten Program is intended for children who are either 4 or 5 years old and currently enrolled in or preparing to enter Kindergarten. Depending upon your child's needs, the program begins where he or she is comfortable and then (as do all of our programs) empowers your child to "Reach For The Highest Star!"

The "Little Geniuses in Training" Kindergarten Program presents to your child what he or she needs to know, learning completely new skills or augmenting and increasing existing ones. Each level consists of FUN, ENGAGING & CHALLENGING exercises in: Letters, Phonics, Numbers, Math, Reading and Writing! As your child progresses through the award-winning series of materials, he or she will develop and strengthen the three most important characteristics needed for academic success: CONCENTRATION, CONFIDENCE and SELF-ESTEEM.

Research indicates positively that students who get a "head start" and acquire knowledge prior to it being presented in the school classroom do much better throughout the year and in successive years than students who do not. The best thing that you can do for your child right now is to give him or her this advantage and start their education now!

THE TUTORING CENTER's "Little Geniuses in Training" Kindergarten Program, like all of our programs, is month to month and requires no contract. Tuition is very reasonable and includes 2, 60-minute sessions per week. If you've tried other learning programs or daycare for your child in the past, you'll soon see that THE TUTORING CENTER is unlike anything you and your child have ever experienced. THE TUTORING CENTER's intense "System for Success" actually provides long-term skills that will last a lifetime. Our methods are time tested and proven. Start building a solid foundation for your child's education NOW!

Homework/Study Skills Program — "Study Skills Made Easy"

Why would you consider a Homework/Study Skills Program for your child? Because you want your child to be successful in school! You know your child has the basic academic skills, but you wonder if your child needs more. You wonder, "Has my child been taught the most important skill — how to learn?" Just as your child needs excellent skills in reading, math, and writing, he or she must also be taught the skills of efficient and effective studying.

For whom is the Homework/Study Skills Program designed? Is your child disorganized? Does he or she struggle to complete or turn in work, understand what a teacher expects, pick out important points in school lectures or from textbooks, take notes, or is unsuccessful on tests? Is your child struggling to pass his or her subjects but seems to have fair academic skills? Or is your child a good student who takes challenging subjects but is working too many hours to maintain top grades? Your child may work too hard, stress too much, and try to burn the candle at both ends. For all of these students, the answer to easing stress and improving grades is learning how to learn — efficiently. This is what Study Skills Made Easy is all about. Study Skills Made Easy is divided into the following skill areas:

1. Organization Strategies

3. Reading Comprehension Strategies
4. Note-Taking Strategies
5. Memorization Strategies
6. Test-Taking Strategies
7. Homework Strategies
8. Stress Management Strategies
