Q. What’s the difference between EDWARDS Learning Center
and other tutoring services?
Unlike other tutoring centers, EDWARDS
Learning Center is a technology-based learning center that utilizes
an advance educational software to meet your child’s individual
needs. EDWARDS Learning Center employs an holistic approach
to learning, where the child, the computer and the tutor, work
in collaboration for maximum results.
Q. How do I know if
my child needs tutoring?
Here are some few reasons why your child
will benefit from EDWARDS Learning Center tutoring services:
- Continued
falling grades in school
- Child shows frustration in a particular
subject(s)
- Child develops low self-esteem and thinks
negatively of himself or herself in regards to school
performance
- Child is constantly making excuses as to why he
or she is not doing homework
- Child experiences anxieties when taking
tests and exams
- No matter how hard your child works, grades do
not improve
- Child is bored in school
Q. Is testing conducted at EDWARDS
Learning Center to see where my child needs help?
When you enroll your child at
EDWARDS Learning Center, the first thing we do is give your
child an assessment to discover his or her strengths and areas
of improvement against the State standards. The educational
software will pinpoint areas for improvement and automatically
map an individualized curriculum based on the test results.
The Director will meet with you to review your child’s results
and recommend a personalized program for your child . Ongoing
testing is conducted to see if your child has improved.
Q. What is the teacher / student ratio
at EDWARDS Learning Center? Will my child have his / her own computer?
The maximum
class size is 4 children per teacher, so there is guaranteed personal
attention. Children work on their own computer.
Q. What is the
cost of tutoring at EDWARDS Learning Center? How does this compare
to other tutoring centers?
EDWARDS Learning Center is committed to helping families in
Phillipsburg and the surrounding areas take advantage of supplemental
education without taking on a huge financial burden. To that
end, in comparison to most national tutoring centers where the
cost ranges from as much as $50 per hour, plus registration
and assessment fees, EDWARDS Learning Center's hourly rate is
$25 per hour with no registration
fees and a one time diagnostic fee of $75.00.
Q. How many
times a week will my child need to attend EDWARDS Learning Center?
EDWARDS Learning
Center agrees with Edward Gordon,
a tutoring consultant for the Federal and State government (NJ
State), featured on CBS/The Early Show. Most tutoring
programs work with the child on an average four to six months,
seeing the child for an hour’s session two (2) to three (3)
times a week. Less than twice a week is often a waste of time
because it is not enough assistance.
Q. Can I enroll at any time
of the year?
There
is ongoing enrollment throughout the year based on space availability.
However, we strongly recommend that you register your
child immediately if you realize your child is struggling and/or
is failing any subjects in school.
