Frequently Asked Questions
For your convenience we have put together some frequently asked questions about our tutoring services. Please click on a question below to reveal its answer.
How long does a student need to attend tutoring?
The length of tutoring depends on many factors. The age of the student,
whether or not the student has a learning disability, the amount of difficulty
the student is experiencing as well as the student’s current skill
level. We move at the student’s pace, so one student may be able to
learn multiple skills in one session while another student may need two
sessions to master one skill. Most of our students attend tutoring for
approximately 9-12 months. However, students with severe learning
disabilities may need on-going academic assistance.
Who will tutor my student?
At RLAC, we select our tutors very carefully, as students meet with the
same tutor every week. We work with degreed professionals in teaching related
fields who are highly qualified, experienced and passionate.
What “types” of students do you tutor?
We work with students of all ages and skill levels, including those with
or without a learning disability, as well as students who are gifted. Our
tutors are trained to both remediate learning difficulties and offer
enrichment to those who are not struggling.
My child is dyslexic. Will this program work for him?
Yes. Our Phonics First™ reading program is based on the Orton-Gillingham
methodology and was specifically designed to address the needs
of students who are dyslexic or otherwise learning disabled.
How is progress measured?
We continually monitor progress by reviewing skills previously taught,
contact with the student’s teachers, parents and any other professionals
the student may meet with. Additionally, written progress reports are provided
every three months, at which point, the parent may choose to have
a formal meeting with our director to discuss the student’s performance.
What is multisensory teaching?
Multisensory instruction, the recommended teaching approach from
researchers for all struggling students, is any learning activity involving
the simultaneous use of multiple sensory pathways: this includes visual,
auditory, tactile, and kinesthesia.
How much does tutoring cost?
Most of our students come once or twice per week for fifty minute
sessions. However, many other options are available. There is a one-time
$75 registration fee and we offer an optional assessment, which is $135.
Clients are billed monthly for tutoring. Our once per week package,
which is 4 or 5 sessions per month is $270. The twice per week package,
8-10 sessions, is $440. Please inquire about additional options.
