ACADEMIC TUTORING for ALL AGES

At Kaulele Education Services, learning specialist Mark A. Carey offers individual academic tutoring tailored to the needs of each student.

• Tutoring can directly support the student in the school curriculum, providing supplemental teaching to review or preview school work and helping him or her more successfully or thoroughly complete assigned work.
• Tutoring can provide a separate program of remedial work for students needing to build skills to which they have been exposed but have not mastered.
• Tutoring can provide a separate enrichment program, providing new opportunities to gain or extend skills and information in areas not being addressed in their regular school placement.
• A combination of these approaches is often appropriate.

Most students attend regularly scheduled, one-hour individual tutoring sessions in the Kilauea office. Weekly or twice weekly sessions are most common during the school year, while summer tutoring offers a wide range of scheduling options. Written, daily reports are provided summarizing each session.

A tutoring relationship is an effective means to better understand a student's learning strengths and weaknesses. It is an excellent way to develop confidence, organization, motivation, and study skills in successful students as well as in struggling students. A tutoring relationship can be the scaffolding which allows a student to climb to greater heights of direct responsibility for his or her own education in the long run.
