We appreciate the opportunity to work with your child(ren) this summer. Our goal is to keep children reading and using their math skills during the summer, while making it fun. There will be two options for sessions.
* Option #1 - We encourage parents to choose the virtual option, as it reduces the stress of getting kids packed up and transported to a location for tutoring. Plus, this option is available to everyone in the United States, regardless of time zone.
* Option #2 - For families in the Lafayette, Louisiana areas, sessions can be conducted at Lafayette Parish libraries
(South Regional, West Regional).
Specialized Reading Instruction
There will be one specialized curriculum for students, mainly first to third graders who are struggling to read. The curriculum used is from the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI; pronounced you-fly).
Focus: Reading Comprehension/ Summer Reading books
(passages or books)
Reading material is chosen with student interest in mind, whenever possible and appropriate.
Focus: Remediation, on level practice or "challenge me" projects)
In math, we try to use projects to review what students already know and then build on it. For example, projects such as "The Million Dollar Project," "Taco Truck," and "Cupcake Cafe" are used to help students manage money while establishing and running their own businesses.

Parent(s), you let us know what your child needs to work on or how we can broaden their horizons. We work out a plan accordingly.
First session and remaining sessions for the month will be paid AFTER the first session is completed and you intend to continue tutoring. Should you choose to not continue with tutoring services, then only the first session will be due. We are confident you will continue tutoring with us, so we give you a chance to "try before buy."
