Comments
One of the services we offer is tutoring. We have found that during the school year most parents are more interested in homework helper type of support. They are eager for their youngster to stay on grade level, complete assignments, and be prepared for class. They tend to have less interest in providing basic skills and filling in the missing pieces, so to speak. Many times their youngster lacks a solid foundation upon which to build his or her current skills. We try to identify this as we work with the child on their current assignments. Valerie Allen, Ed.D.
