CURRICULUM TUTORING
                                                                           

The most important job an Ivy Ed curriculum tutor has is to identify your child’s strengths. Those qualities can then be utilized to enhance your child’s comprehension of more difficult subjects or to enrich your academically gifted student who is not being challenged by the standard school curriculum. Because a tutor’s understanding of the way your child thinks develops over time, students see the same tutor each week. Ivy Ed hires academic experts and then trains them to teach all types of students. Homework assignments are tailored to your child, not the other way around. And if there is a way to make a topic more fun, we will use it! Ivy Educational Services also has a proud track record of helping students with diagnosed learning disabilities succeed in school.

~HIGH SCHOOL~
                                          

Our curriculum tutoring for high school students is designed to provide enrichment and/or remedial help. Ivy Ed has tutors for every subject and level, through AP/IB. We can provide the academic safety net that every student needs once in awhile. Our tutors’ enthusiasm for higher-level subjects motivates our students to explore beyond the established curriculum.

                                                  
~MIDDLE SCHOOL~
                                                  

The academic workload and degree of difficulty increase dramatically as students move from elementary to middle school. Ivy Ed’s tutors are trained to help with this transition and to prepare students for high school level work. Study skills coaching is often an especially important component of tutoring middle school students.

                                          
~ELEMENTARY~
                                          

The elementary years form the foundation for all subsequent learning. Sometimes a student needs help learning how to learn, how to study, or how to progress academically. Ivy Ed has tutors who specialize in teaching and motivating younger students.
