 Program Description – written by A to Z In-Home Tutoring

A to Z In-Home Tutoring provides tutors to students in the comfort, privacy and convenience of their own homes. For many families who struggle with transportation issues, A to Z is the perfect fit. All tutoring is one-on-one and in-person with a local certified teacher or education professional. All students are pre-tested using a specialized diagnostic test that is directly aligned to Maine State Learning Standards. The results of the pretest specifically identify which skills sets the child is deficient in so that tutoring services are 100% custom tailored and individualized for the needs of the client. Goal setting sessions are initiated based on me results of this test and tutors are well informed of the child's academic needs.

Through traditional one-on-one tutoring, students are able to reach and exceed their educational goals much more quickly and effectively, especially when the student is struggling in the classroom. By working individually with students, A to Z tutors are able to pinpoint specific needs and custom tailor the instruction given. We believe software short cuts and one-size fits all curriculum programs are a distraction to children who often just need help with the basics. Strong teaching backgrounds and a comprehensive understanding of children's needs enables these qualified teachers to develop learning skills, polish self-esteem, boost confidence and enhance motivation.

A to Z attracts both parents and children by accommodating their busy schedules and offering flexibility not available in other programs. Parents do not have to juggle their schedules and/or waste precious time dropping off and picking up their children. With flexible scheduling, children are able to participate in important after-school activities and still receive the academic support they need.

A to Z understands the benefits of a consistent relationship between tutor, pupil, parent and school. A to Z selects a tutor that best suits the child's circumstances, then continues to provide the same tutor for the duration of the program. Tutors interact with parents each and every time they come to the home, spending time "debriefing" parents on the goals for the child and the progress that is being made toward these goals. No wonder A to Z In-Home Tutoring is America's number one choice for tutoring!
