Tutoring

 

Many children who struggle with reading and learning cannot benefit from tutoring or special education programs until the underlying cause of the learning problem has been addressed.   

 

Traditional tutoring works well for mainstream learners.  It does not, however, begin to reach the core of the problem that children who have learning challenges experience.   Tutoring focuses on WHAT the child needs to learn but not on HOW the child learns. 

   

In fact,  traditional approaches aimed at helping struggling children are laboured and lengthy often resulting in the child experiencing frustration, loss of confidence and loss of self-esteem.

 

Before a child who struggles with learning can be helped by tutoring, they must first develop the brain processing skills essential for learning.

 

PATHWAYS is an exclusive North Vancouver prerequisite to tutoring. If a student has a poor memory, has difficulty paying attention or focusing, is slow to process information, or has sequencing challenges, tutoring or special education will not be very effective. 20% of children struggle at school because of weak core learning (cognitive) skills. The core learning skills of memory, attention, processing and sequencing must be strong before learning becomes effortless. When tested, a struggling student will most likely exhibit one or more weak core learning skills.

 

Reading & Learning PATHWAYS can identify which skills are weak and customize a program to strengthen those skills. The programs used by PATHWAYS develop a student's core learning skills to maximize learning potential. The programs restore confidence, are fun, fast and last a life-time. We offer one-on-one and group programs at our learning center as well as at-home options.

 

Once core skills have been strengthened, we can connect you with outstanding tutors in your area.
