The Tutoring Experience
What does a tutoring session look like?
When it comes to education, students need to enjoy the process and gain confidence to be successful. Rather than sitting and listening in a worksheet-based program, students are provided the opportunity to engage through multisensory learning that is proven effective and, best of all - fun!
Each tutoring session provides one-on-one instruction, based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, and is designed for the individual student.
What is the Orton Gillingham methodology?
Orton Gillingham is a multisensory learning approach best used to assist students with difficulty in reading, writing, and/or spelling, and thus can be very successful for those with dyslexia.
The Orton Gillingham approach ensures that students aren’t simply recognizing a pattern and applying it without understanding.
As students learn new material, they continue to review previously taught concepts until it becomes automatic. In short, instruction does not move on until the student feels accomplished and has mastered the current lesson.
Each tutoring session follows the Orton Gillingham principles - using the senses of touch, sight, hearing and movement. This method ensures students use more than one pathway in the brain, strengthening and solidifying information.
Any student can benefit from this approach, but for the student who struggles to learn, it can be the difference between success and failure.
