Courses/Programs offered
event_available Reading
From early literacy to reading comprehension, we consult research including the Department of Education’s What Works Clearinghouse to choose the most effective teaching methods. For students with dyslexia and other reading challenges, we have tutors in Chicago trained in multi-sensory methods such as Orton-Gillingham and Wilson. For reading comprehension and higher level skills, we teach advanced comprehension strategies.
event_available Writing
We understand the importance for all students to effectively communicate and express their ideas in writing. For our youngest students we work on handwriting, spelling and letter formation. From there, we move on to writing sentences, paragraphs, and cohesive essays. Many of our students benefit from executive functioning strategies to improve their writing process.
event_available Mathematics
In math we often find that students are struggling because of gaps in foundational skills. We identify the gaps and work to build student’s confidence and understanding. For early learners, it is important that students form a strong number sense. From this foundation, they begin to build computation skills and application through word problems. As math problems grow increasingly complex, students often benefit from executive functioning strategies embedded in math instruction.
