Go Tutor with Melissa offers a reinforcement program for Grade 1 to Grade 10 students. This program has been put together to help those students who have difficulty achieving the expectations for the Grade 1 to Grade 8 language arts or math program and those who wish to strengthen their current skills by building problem-solving skills, self-management skills, and improve report card marks for the following year. 

 

There will be a lot of opportunities for conversation which builds confidence in reflection and providing opinions including the following:

 

I Can Statements: Clearly stating learning objectives keeps children focused and on task.
Think-Pair-Share: Encouraging students to discuss what they are learning because they need to be heard.
The Pause Procedure: Giving students time to process information because not everyone thinks at the same pace.
Fast-Paced Drills: Engaging students with quick exercises builds short and long-term memory
Embedding Humour: Making learning enjoyable because laughter is important.
Requesting Feedback: Using it constructively to build on their learning objectives.

Planning Service with You

You are an important partner in the service that we provide and you will be involved in planning and reviewing the service that are offered. Your assistance is needed  to help develop goals, and give a direction for service, when you first attend a session.  As you are involved in counselling services, after the initial session,  we will discuss the length and type of service you require. You will be informed of the progress of your child and you can request that I share any pertinent information with the school. As tutoring continues, you will be asked to review progress toward your child's goals. I request you provide the following documents:

 

1. Psychological Academic Assessment/Evaluation

2. Current Report Card

3. Current Individual Educational Plan (IEP)

 

Risks:

It can be hard to talk about the difficulties you might be having. You and your family may experience a range of emotions  during tutoring that you may not be used to expressing. You may also experience setbacks as you and your family work on doing things differently. There may be periods of confusion, disagreement and even a feeling of hopelessness about things changing. Change is hard, even when it is positive change.

 

Benefits:

Tutoring can help you achieve your goals that may include positive changes in behaviour, relationships, coping skills and understanding school work better. The use of evidence-based and evidence-informed practices Cognitive Behaviour Therapy(CBT) has been proven to be beneficial for people experiencing challenges similar to yours. You may notice you feel better, and can get along better with others at home, school, the community and the workplace.
