Why Campbell’s Tutorial?
Campbell’s Tutorial, located in the heart of Seminole, recently celebrated the beginning of our twenty- second year. Campbell’s has expanded from a diagnostic and remediation center to fulfill a larger need for the community. The tutorial now provides after-school instruction for students of all ages and abilities on an individual basis. Areas of concentration are reading, basic math through calculus, study skills, writing, and SAT/ACT preparation for college bound students. The tutorial is a blend of basic skills and enrichment programs, with a specific intention to supplement a child’s full time placement in school.
Parents often call Campbell’s Tutorial when a student begins to lag behind. Enrolling pupils are initially tested to determine their basic skill levels. Since math and reading skills are sequential, and each skill builds upon the last, Campbell’s can uncover specific areas the student has not mastered. After the diagnostics are completed, an individual educational plan is formulated. It is at this point that progress towards closing academic gaps begins. Teachers often need to go back to basics before they can proceed forward. Children attend two one-hour sessions every week after school. All teachers have been certified and have public or private school experience. Instruction is individualized and positive reinforcement is the underlying key to success. From verbal encouragement to the token economy system (toys, games etc.), students are rewarded for a job well done.
The tutorial is designed to complement the county curriculum and work hand-in-hand with the classroom teacher. Jean Campbell, the Education Director, will personally visit your child’s school to discuss progress with the full-time instructor. Jean also has regularly scheduled conferences with parents to keep them up to date on areas of concern. |
