Program Overview
Our private 1:1 or semi-private 1:2 tutoring sessions allow us to give your child the intense teaching and consistent attention they need to succeed.
At Aspire, we believe that all students can learn and grow. We use a variety of current, research-based instructional strategies to provide multiple opportunities for students to be successful and improve their self-regulation skills. We also use targeted academic language in our lessons to meet the visual, auditory, and tactile needs of all learners.
We use a team teaching approach with either a highly qualified tutor and/or a certified teacher working with your child. Throughout the session we teach, guide, evaluate, and reteach or move on as needed to ensure that students meet or exceed the required standards.
