Student Services

  • Tutoring

    Partners in Learning provides comprehensive academic tutoring services for elementary, middle, and high-school students across all subject areas. Our approach is tailored to each student's unique needs, starting with an assessment to identify areas of strength and areas that require further development. Based on these results, we create a customized learning plan that targets specific academic goals. Our experienced educators employ a combination of modeling, guided practice, and independent work to foster a deep understanding of concepts and ensure mastery of content. We utilize research-based programs that are proven to maximize academic growth. With our academic tutoring, students receive the individualized support they need to excel academically and reach their full potential.

  • Orton-Gillingham Intervention

    Partners in Learning takes pride in offering specialized Orton-Gillingham tutoring services to support students in their literacy development. Our trained tutors provide individualized instruction using the highly effective Orton-Gillingham approach, which is specifically designed to address difficulties in reading, spelling, and writing. Through multisensory techniques, structured lessons, and systematic instruction, our tutors help students develop phonemic awareness, decoding/encoding skills, and language comprehension. We create a supportive and engaging learning environment that fosters confidence and independence. With Orton-Gillingham tutoring, students receive targeted interventions that cater to their unique learning needs, empowering them to overcome challenges and achieve academic success.

  • Executive Function Development

    At Partners in Learning, we understand the crucial role executive functions play in students' overall academic success. That is why we are proud to offer comprehensive executive function coaching services. Our experienced educators work closely with students to develop and strengthen key executive skills such as organization, time management, task initiation, and goal setting. Students learn practical strategies and techniques to enhance their executive functions and improve their overall self-regulation and academic performance. We provide individualized support, empowering students to become independent learners who can effectively manage their responsibilities and navigate challenges with confidence. With our executive function coaching, Partners in Learning aims to equip students with the essential skills they need to thrive academically and beyond.

  • Informal Academic Assessments

    A battery of assessments will help to develop an instructional plan, identify strengths and weaknesses, and assist in understanding the educational needs of the child. An independent evaluation can assist parents and a school's multidisciplinary team in making the best educational decisions for a child. Academic Directors will administer a variety of assessments that are selected after parent/child interviews and documentation review. A thorough educational report, including data analysis and individualized goals are developed upon completion of assessments. 

  • Dyslexia Evaluation

    Partners in Learning is dedicated to identifying and supporting individuals with dyslexia through comprehensive assessment services. We administer the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD), a comprehensive assessment designed to identify dyslexia and pinpoint specific areas where students may need support.

    The TOD evaluates a range of skills crucial for reading and language development, including phonological processing, rapid automatized naming, word reading, encoding, comprehension, and fluency.

    Our comprehensive approach not only helps in diagnosing dyslexia but also in developing targeted intervention plans tailored to each individual's needs. By identifying both strengths and areas of difficulty, we aim to empower students, providing them with the tools and strategies they need to succeed.

  • Kindergarten Readiness

    Partners in Learning offers a series of informal assessments for younger children in order to determine kindergarten readiness. Following the assessment, an Academic Director will write a report analyzing the child's strengths and needs in order to customize a program which addresses the academic skills necessary to succeed in kindergarten. Subsequent tutoring sessions focus on pre-literacy skills, language proficiency, handwriting, and pre-mathematics skills.
