Math

In math we assess each of the necessary component skills, like math facts, math vocabulary, addition, subtraction multiplication, division and fractions. We are able to pinpoint very specific skills and knowledge that the student is lacking. Then we develop a program based on their needs. We want to make sure a student understands math and numbers, so we deliver explicit and direct instruction broken into small parts. The student works on each part until they reach fluency. By breaking each skill into separate components, the child is able to master those skills at an accelerated rate. The components build on each other until the child is solving complex math problems with ease and understanding.

Reading

We specialize in helping students to jump ahead in their reading skills. We conduct assessments to pinpoint very specific areas of language and phonic skills. These skills are essential for reading. Many students who struggle in reading lack these "pre-reading" skills. They are skills not taught, but rather develop as a baby develops language. Although many of these students didn't develop those skills naturally, they can be developed with intervention. Students in the reading program build fluency and mastery in these skills, while developing fluency in reading. And when they are fluent, reading and school becomes easier.
