ABOUT THERAPEUTIC TUTORING 

Therapeutic tutoring combines the elements of traditional therapy and academic tutoring to create an effective and comprehensive solution for children who struggle with learning and achieving within the classroom. It combines the goals of educational tutoring—that a student understands and learn academic concepts and ideas—with therapeutic tutoring, which addresses the psychological aspects that hinder a student from demonstrating his full potential within the school environment. 

 

At Smart Love Family Services, your child will be supported by a professional with educational and mental health training to provide high-quality tutoring, while also working to increase your child’s motivation, improve attention and concentration, build organizational and planning skills, decrease school avoidance and anxiety, and access her innate strengths.
