●Live one-to-one video sessions from home, using the same instruction, materials, and progress measurement as our in-person work. How online tutoring works.
●Every student starts with a skills assessment, a set of short tests that shows which skills are in place and which are missing, so instruction starts exactly where your child needs it.
●We can coordinate with your child's classroom teacher or IEP team, in public, private, and homeschool settings.
●Independent academic evaluations are conducted in person in Maine; families travel to us for testing. See evaluations for Biddeford-Saco families.
