LEC Academic Coaches meet with students in a one-on-one setting, for one or more sessions per week to support and improve academic performance. Academic coaching is designed to help students develop organizational and time management skills, learning techniques, and self-advocacy. Classroom assignments may be utilized as training tools; however, Academic Coaching is more than ‘homework help’. It is a working relationship focused on the processes of learning. Students will likely have homework remaining after sessions. Academic Coaching is available to students at all grade levels.

Social Skills Groups are led and directed by an occupational therapist to focus on an array of social skills. The occupational therapist intentionally designs and creates a learning environment that is adapted for each individual participant to support their level of need. The focus of social groups will be to teach kids to interact appropriately with others, and to help kids learn conversational skills, problem-solving, and self-regulation in a group setting.  Social Skills Groups will be made up of 3-4 students, grouped by age and goal areas. 

Sessions will last 30 minutes and meet weekly. Social skills groups include:

• Positive Peer Interactions
• Taking Turns & Problem Solving
• Cooperative Play
• Expressing Feelings
• Perspective Taking
• Understanding Non-Verbal Cues

If you would like to hire one of our tutors, please submit our Request a Tutor Form. Director of Curriculum Dr. Chuck LaRusso will then call you to discuss the kind of academic support your child needs and what type of tutoring services are available. Together, we will find the tutor to match the needs of your child.  

Each tutor has his/her own private office in the LEC where he or she will meet one-to-one with a student.  The environment is welcoming and is child-centered outfitted with different types of seating, work spaces, dry erase boards, and manipulatives to support learning.

At the end of each week, you will receive an email from your child’s tutor.  The tutor will give you an overview of the work that was completed during the tutoring session, what still needs to be completed, and possible home follow-up.  

When you partner with the LEC, your child’s tutoring is often done during the school day, often during a study hall period.  This allows for flexibility after school to enable your child to take part in extracurricular activities. Additionally, the tutor will have direct contact with the classroom teacher/subject area teacher.
