Thank
you for taking time to consider becoming a member of The Learning Clinic
Education Centre REGISTRY OF TUTORS.
A tutor will come right into your home so that
you don’t have to disrupt your family
schedule by going to an instruction center. We
want to make the learning process as
convenient as possible for the entire family.
By arranging for a tutor to come to your home
to meet with your child, the rest of the
family can go about their normal routines
without disruption. It also means that one or
more of the parents are present at all times
and can be assured that the tutor is
accomplishing the desired goals and objectives
with their child. 
You
and your child’s tutor will work out a
schedule that is convenient to everyone. Each
week may be different and you can even
schedule sessions as often or as little as you
wish. We know that
families are involved in numerous activities
today and we don't want your tutoring schedule to
interfere with other important family
activities. Our tutors will cooperate with you
at all times to make sure that the time and
day of the sessions is the most convenient and
beneficial for everyone involved. Furthermore,
you can schedule sessions as often as twice a week or as
little as once a month, depending on the needs of your
child.
Because
The Learning Clinic is a private practice, we are not
required to use “packaged” programs prepared by head
office as is the case with many franchised tutoring
companies. Instead,
we find out what your child is doing in class
and help him/her develop the skills that are
needed right now. This means that your child
gets a personalized instruction program that is
absolutely geared to his/her needs. As we are
helping your child cope with the demands of
the current school program, we are working on
skills that will help your child in the
future. This approach allows us to work with
students from Junior Kindergarten right
through to University and College. We help
your child learn what he/she needs to know in order
to succeed in the school program.
We
don't want anyone to feel "trapped" at The
Learning Clinic Education Centre. Therefore, you
are only asked to commit to six hours at
a time. When you decide you no longer wish to
continue with the tutoring you can simply
stop. You are not locked in to a long-term
contract as is the case with so many other tutoring
companies We want to give you the
assurance that if you are not totally
satisfied with the tutor or the program, you
will be free to stop the sessions at any time.
It also means that you can schedule your six
hours as you see fit. Some parents spread the
time over six or more weeks, while others feel
that their children need to compress the
sessions more closely together. The choice is
yours and will be what is best for your child.
You
also have the option of
stopping the tutoring for a month or two, or
even longer and then you can pick it back up
again, usually with the same tutor and at no
additional cost. Many of our students take the
summer off and then contact the same tutor
they had before the break to continue in the
new school year. 
You have the ability to
contact your tutor by phone or email in
between sessions in case you have a concern
that cannot wait for the next session. There
is no extra charge for this service. This is
one of the "safety" features we have
built into our program. It means that if your
child is ever in need of some immediate
attention that can be resolved over the phone
or with an email, then you can take care of
the matter right away instead of having to
wait until the next scheduled session.
When
we send a personal tutor to your home, you
have the option of having the tutor take care
of other children in the house. For example,
the tutor may be coming in to look after the
needs of one of your children, but if one or
more of his/her brothers and sisters need some
help from time to time, you have the
option of asking the tutor to help them as
well. This "Family Tutor" policy has
been very well received by our parents who
have children with different needs. 
We also provide parents the option of having
our tutor come in and work with two or three
children who are in the same class. This means
that your child can have one or two of his/her
classmates come over to share the services of
a tutor. Parents may then split the cost of
the tutoring services and receive the benefit
of small group tutoring that is geared to
achieving similar goals and objectives within
a much smaller budget.
Robert Kirwan will act as
your personal Education Agent and will be
available to provide you with guidance and
advice on any education and/or career planning
concerns you may have. There will be many
issues arising with respect to the education
of your children over the years. Whenever you
are in need of some professional advice or
guidance, all you have to do is contact Robert
Kirwan and he will be only too glad to help.
Most importantly, you can
get help for your child that is not only
effective; it is also one of the most
affordable tutoring options around. Our fee is one of the
best values around, especially when you consider that
we provide you with a personal tutor who comes
to your own home for one-on-one service.
