Therapeutic Tutoring at Smart Love Family Services | Academic Support with a Therapeutic Approach

Therapeutic Tutoring

Therapeutic Tutoring combines high-quality, academic tutoring with a supportive, therapeutic approach to create an effective and comprehensive solution for K-12 students who struggle with learning and achieving within the classroom.

How It Helps

Therapeutic Tutoring is a solution for students who are having difficulty learning and achieving their full potential in school. It’s especially effective for children and adolescents who want to:

Build organizational and planning skills
Decrease avoidance and reduce anxiety
Have better follow through and complete assignments and projects on-time
Improve attention and concentration
Access innate strengths
Increase motivation at school and improve grades
Navigate depression or anxiety about school and in the classroom
Understand and cope with emotional and/or social stress that is affecting school performance
Find learning strategies for managing ADHD or learning disabilities like dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia

Our Approach

At Smart Love Family Services, your child will receive one-on-one support from a skilled academic tutor with expertise in both education and children's emotional and social development. Along with providing academic support and learning strategies, our tutors establish trusting relationships and create a safe space for students to share their feelings. When emotions such as anxiety, frustration, boredom, or helplessness arise, our tutors acknowledge, validate, and explore these feelings with the student. This approach helps students process and understand their emotions, enabling them to focus more effectively on their schoolwork. As a result, students experience increased motivation, concentration, and resilience. Over time, they become happier and more confident, allowing them to achieve their full potential in school.

Family Involvement

Tutors communicate with parents regularly and meet quarterly to provide feedback on their child’s progress. During these parent meetings, tutors work with parents to:

Determine academic and emotional goals
Effectively respond to their child when they are expressing frustrations, lacking motivation, or displaying other emotional responses to homework
Encourage a growth mindset by learning to problem solve together with their child
Identify progress being made
Support their child’s agency at home
