Reading & Writing Clinics

The Reading & Writing Clinics are 6-week clinics.  The Clinics focus is on helping students who are struggling in some area of reading, writing, or language arts (spelling, vocabulary).  Prior to the clinic each student will participate in a diagnostic evaluation conducted by Dr. Rozendal.  (Formal Report of the evaluation is available for an additional fee.) This evaluation along with information from parents and the student's school will be used to craft a specific intervention program for the student.  The student teacher ratio for the Reading Clinic will not be more than 4 students per 1 teacher, with the students grouped according to age and literacy needs.

Reading Clinics will be held on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday; 8:30 am - 10:00 am and 10:30-12:00 at both locations.

Math Clinic

The Math Clinic is a 6-week clinic.  The Math Clinic focuses on helping students who are struggling in Mathematics or who desire strategic interventions to accelerate their mathematics skills.  Prior to the clinic each student will participate in a diagnostic evaluation to determine the focus of their work in the clinic.  (Formal Report of the evaluation is available for an additional fee.) This evaluation along with information from parents and the student's school will be used to craft a specific intervention program for the student.  The student teacher ratio for the Reading Clinic will not be more than 4 students per 1 teacher, with the students grouped according to age and skills/concepts to be learned.

Math Clinics will be held at both locations on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday; 8:30 am - 10:00 am and 12:30-2:00 pm.

Private Educational Interventions

Summer private education interventions (specialized tutoring or educational therapy) will be contracted on an hourly rate.  A minimum of 2 sessions per week is recommended. Tutoring is one-on-one with a certified teacher.  Learning goals for tutoring will be determined based upon consultation with parents, the student, and the school.  Diagnostic Evaluation is available for an additional fee to determine a more specific intervention plan, but not necessary for summer tutoring.

Summer Private Educational Interventions will be scheduled on an individual basis and are available Monday through Friday.
