Often a student with a learning disability finds a need for more individual assistance than a college environment provides in order to reach his or her potential. For this reason, The Learning Center,Inc. has evolved.
We provide assistance, support and encouragement to enable the student to demonstrate what he can do. Because the support is private and on an individual basis, the student does not feel either different or labeled.
On a contractual basis we provide one-on-one tutorial services: three fifty minute periods per week, per course. Tutors have degrees and have training in strategies to assist the learning disabled student.
Academic counseling helps keep a student focused on how he/she learns and how to maximize academic strengths. This takes place weekly. Time management skills are stressed in both tutoring and counseling. Success is studied so it can be repeated and failures studied and shared. We work together to establish a different approach after a failure. Knowing how a student learns is important, and we attempt to help the student establish what individual approach works best.
