FAQs and Other Notes

What will my child learn?

We will conduct a reading skills assessment to identify the optimal starting point in the phonics curriculum. We will evaluate your child’s proficiency in reading both real and make-believe words.

How will my child connect to their tutor?

After completing registration, a Zoom meeting link will be sent to the email used when registering.
The same meeting link will be used for each session.

What materials are required?

For optimal learning, it is recommended that the student be seated at a table in a quiet environment with minimal distractions to promote concentration and focus. A grown-up should be nearby in case technical assistance is needed.

Please also ensure that your child is equipped with the following materials:

  • Laptop or desktop computer. Please do not use a cell phone.
  • Wide-ruled writing notebook
  • Pencil
  • Headset
  • Mouse for easier management of interactive activities.
Learner expectations

Learner expectations are designed to create a positive and productive learning environment, and to help learners achieve their educational goals. By adhering to these expectations, students can maximize their learning potential and develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.

1. Respectful behavior: Learners are expected to treat their teachers with respect.
2. Active participation: Learners are expected to actively engage in the learning process. This helps to reinforce learning and deepen understanding.
3. Focus and attention: Learners are expected to maintain focus and attention during each session.

Progress monitoring

Skills assessments are completed every six weeks provided that the meetings remain consistent.

Communication

To facilitate communication, we’ll be using Remind. Once registration is complete, you will receive an invitation. Please sign up for text notifications from Remind so that you don’t miss any important messages.

Reschedule requests

Please provide at least 24 hour notice when requesting to reschedule a session. Rescheduling requests for more than 1 day, need 1 week notice.

Failure to provide such notice will result in the session being considered complete, and it will not be rescheduled.

Late arrivals

It is important to be logged in on time. Missed minutes will not be made up.
We will wait for late arrivals for 10 minutes, but if we don’t receive any communication regarding your child’s attendance for the tutoring session, we will log off.

Contract

There is currently no existing contract. However, if you plan to extend, pause, or end services, kindly inform us at least two weeks prior to the desired change.

It’s important to maintain consistent attendance when working with a tutor to achieve the best possible results. While it’s understandable that unexpected events can occur, excessive absences can hinder progress and prevent optimal use of the tutor’s time.

You may pause tutoring for a maximum of one week, once every three months. If you pause for longer than the specified time, we cannot guarantee that your preferred days and times will be available when you return.

The policy of limiting pauses to once every three months is meant to ensure that students are able to take a break when necessary, while also ensuring that the tutor’s time is used effectively. By reserving specific days and times for tutoring sessions, the tutor can plan their schedule accordingly and ensure that they are available when needed.

It’s also important to keep in mind that excessive absences can impact other students who may be waiting for tutoring sessions. By taking up a spot in the tutor’s schedule but not showing up, other students may miss out on the opportunity to receive tutoring during that time.

The policy of pausing sparingly is to ensure that progress is not hindered and the tutor’s time is used effectively.
