We offer individual multisensory tutoring sessions designed to engage each student and specifically meet his/her needs by identifying strengths, weaknesses and learning style. The RITES teacher creates an individualized plan for his/her student to ensure academic success and to increase self-confidence. Subjects taught include:
Multisensory Language Program
An alternative structured method for students who have difficulty with reading, writing and spelling, this program is appropriate for dyslexic students and those with memory and language difficulties. The approaches we offer include Orton-Gillingham, Wilson and Project Read.
Learning Strategies/Organizational and Study Skills
This involves strategies, approaches and tools for all students, including those with executive functioning issues and ADHD.
English
We work with high school students to develop English skills, such as: reading comprehension, summarization, paragraph development, essay and expository writing, enriched creative writing.
Mathematics
Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus
Science
Biology, Chemistry, Physics
History
All history subjects are approached with specific organizational and retention strategies for better understanding.
PSAT/SAT Prep
We offer one-on-one training, in contrast to large commercial preparation classes; each student gets real experience with multiple practice tests, while learning specific test-taking techniques and strategies, and receiving ongoing support around the sessions to improve performance on the PSAT, SAT, ACT, SSAT or ISEE (see our PSAT/SAT page for more details).
Study Skills
STUDY SMARTER, NOT HARDER is our 4-session workshop for high school students who want to be more prepared for tests and get better grades (see our Study Skills page for more details).
