The AVID Learning Therapy Center

AVID's Tutoring Program

The AVID Learning Center offers private tutoring in many subject areas and at all grade levels. Our instructors are certified teachers with backgrounds in elementary education, secondary education, special education, or have been specifically trained in a research-based curriculum recommended by No Child Left Behind. Our tutoring services are offered only on a one-to-one basis. This ensures that your child gets maximum attention in his/her individual tutoring session. We offer this quality service at a price that is lower than most tutoring facilities.

AVID utilizes a multi-sensory approach when providing instruction in any subject. Research supports that multi-sensory teaching is the key to helping children who struggle with learning. Many tutoring centers do not offer this type of instruction. We encourage parents to inquire about multi-sensory instruction when searching for appropriate tutoring services for their child.

One of the most popular tutoring programs we offer is the Wilson Reading Program. The Wilson Reading System is a research-based reading and writing program. It is a complete curriculum for teaching decoding and encoding (spelling) beginning with phoneme segmentation. WRS directly teaches the structure of words in the English language so that students master the coding system for reading and spelling. Unlike other programs that overwhelm the student with rules, the language system of English is presented in a systematic and cumulative manner so that it is manageable. It provides an organized, sequential system with extensive controlled text to help teachers implement a multisensory structured language program.

The basic purpose of the Wilson Reading System is to teach students fluent decoding and encoding skills to the level of mastery. From the beginning steps of the program, it also includes sight word instruction, fluency, vocabulary, oral expressive language development, and comprehension. Throughout the program, a ten-part lesson plan, designed to be very interactive between teacher and student, is followed. The lessons progress from easier to more challenging tasks for decoding and then spelling.
