Developing your child's learning ability

MANILA, Philippines - There’s a fast-growing learning center in the country whose unique and highly efficient individualized tutoring programs can zero in and fix your child’s specific school needs. What’s more, it’s proving to be more precise and more reliable than traditional one-on-one tutoring.

 The skill-based tutoring service goes by the name Tutoring Club, a Nevada-based tutoring firm founded by Larry Schwartz in 1991 and introduced in the Philippines by entrepreneur Rico Bautista. The organization’s success is attributed not just to the dedication of each franchisee in creating successful learners but also to the quality software-generated programs that comprise the individualized instruction offered to kids ranging in age from four years old to college level.

 “Tutoring Club creates the individualized program needed by the child,” notes Rico Bautista, CEO of Academic Solutions, Inc., which owns the master franchise of Tutoring Club in the Philippines. “It is Tutoring Club’s TutorAid system that creates the program path of the student, and not the tutor. The tutors are equipped with the students’ worksheets generated by the Tutoring Club’s software. These are administered to the students by our highly qualified tutors, guiding them and allowing them to work on the exercises independently. Based on results of exercises done, the system generates the next sessions’ lessons.”

 Tutoring Club specializes in math, reading and writing, and study skills. Offered is individualized tutoring based on the learner’s subject of interest. “It all starts with a skills assessment through a comprehensive diagnostics test that pinpoints students’ problem areas or skill gaps,” explains Bautista. “From there, a TutorAid program is customized specifically for the child. Through a personalized program and efficient guidance of qualified instructors at Tutoring Club centers situated in convenient locations in the metropolis, students are able to overcome poor study habits and correct deficiencies early on.”

 Tutoring Club understands that no student’s learning curve is the same and each one has different needs. By administering a skill assessment test for each child, Tutoring Club is able to determine their academic level and pinpoint where gaps exist. By defining the child’s academic strengths and weaknesses, the assessments help structure the tutoring curriculum. This way, the tutoring is tailor-made to address personal needs.
