Our Focus:

Our focus is to develop independent effective learning skills so that our clients can undertake new learning experiences with confidence.

Our goal is to give every client the skills and self confidence to take on any learning task or job. To achieve this goal, strengths and weaknesses are identified, enabling us to teach the client how to learn, and to apply acquired knowledge to new, challenging situations.

Our Methodology:

a. Initial interview and evaluation:

This helps us determine individual needs and requirements. They allow us to develop an understanding of past and present difficulties and current level of achievement. A detailed analysis of this information is used to develop specific approaches and techniques to correct underlying problems. This plan becomes the basis of each client’s individualized program.

b. Diagnostic testing:

Comprehensive testing by a psychologist is available to identify skill deficiencies processing difficulties, learning problems, and strengths. The battery of diagnostic instruments provides information on intelligence, learning style and achievement. It also identifies attention deficit disorder and language / learning disabilities or dyslexia. After a comprehensive battery, a detailed analytical report with specific recommendations is presented and explained in a follow up meeting. Based on this report and our years of experience, learning styles and teaching strategies are determined.

c. Consulting:

If needed, consultations with resource people available at our premises is arranged. These include mental health specialists, educationists, counselors, physiotherapist, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists.

d. Teaching methods:

Our client / teacher ratio is one on one. An experienced, qualified teacher is chosen, based on skills, personality and client needs. Each client works with the same teacher until goals are met or circumstances suggest a change is needed. The original plans and approaches are monitored and modified and changed frequent observations and formal reviews. Progress reports are regularly provided to parents.
