Small Group Online Classes
SMALL GROUP CLASSES
If your child needs academic support but does not require the intensity of long-term one-on-one tutoring, these online small group classes may be the perfect fit!
Class options are available in the following areas:
- Phonics
- Spelling
- Fluency
- Vocabulary building
- Comprehension
- Test-taking strategies
These 9-week online groups meet twice a week and participate in live instruction with Dr. Pittman!
The students' grown-ups also receive a weekly message with a summary of the week's skills and ways to practice at home. These online courses are a fabulous way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home!
Small group classes are offered just 2-3 times a year, and they are limited to just 10 students. Tuition for small group classes is a 50% savings compared to the tuition for one-on-one tutoring, and Dr. Pittman is an approved ESA+ provider for students participating in this program.
