Tutoring

One-on-one tutoring is available at Alongside You for high school and elementary age students. We provide a safe place and patient, caring, personalized instruction for students who may be feeling anxiety about school or are struggling to keep up.Our vision is especially to support students with learning disabilities, neurodivergence, or chronic health conditions that have interfered with their schooling. Our goal, in addition to assisting with academics, is to build the student’s confidence at school and, as a result, for life in general.Current subjects available include Math and English to grade 12, Social Studies and Science to grade 10, with other subjects and grades handled on a case-by-case basis. Please speak with our Client Care Team if you’d like to find our more about our tutoring services, or see if we’re the right fit.

For students with reading difficulties, word reading and reading comprehension skills may require something more. Specific reading intervention that is individualized to your child’s strengths and weaknesses is always best, rather than one-size-fits-all reading instruction that can leave your child without adequate instruction. Instead, more intensive, direct, and systematic intervention in phonics-based and context-based reading skills helps to make tangible gains in skill development, producing a more confident and capable reader which in turn, fosters higher learning levels both in school and beyond.

Psycho-Educational Assessments

A psychoeducational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation process designed to gain a deeper understanding of a child’s learning strengths and challenges. It involves a series of standardized tests, observations, and interviews to assess various cognitive, academic, and emotional factors. The goal of a psychoeducational assessment is to provide valuable insights into how a child learns and processes information. This information helps parents, educators, and clinicians develop tailored strategies and interventions to support the child’s emotional and academic growth.
