Services Offered
Reading and Writing Support
We deliver an evidence-based program to support your child’s particular needs. The elements of the language are taught systematically and introduced in a sequential order, with lots of review and reinforcement. The five pillars of learning to read are Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. We use the Orton-Gillingham multisensory based approach for structuring programs in Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, and Fluency to develop automaticity in decoding (reading phonetically) and competence in encoding (spelling). Vocabulary and Comprehension are taught through a variety of techniques, including Orton-Gillingham, by our expert teachers. Writing, sentence structure, grammar, and composition are all addressed in a highly individualized manner that responses to the needs of the individual student.
Math Support
We offer support in all areas of Math, from the earliest skills all the way through college-level courses.
Testing
We offer a comprehensive screening that includes a full KTEA nationally-normed achievement test and an IQ test (to compare achievement with natural aptitude), allowing us to determine whether your child is at risk for dyslexia or other learning differences. We can do this in a A) a single 3-hour test with a follow-up consultation, or B) over 7 tutoring sessions with an 8th session for consultation. Additionally, we offer the KTEA test to meet annual homeschool requirements for the state of North Carolina for students who are enrolled in tutoring at ARC.

Attending Meetings and Writing Reports
We attend parent-teacher conferences, IEP meetings, staffing meetings, and various other school related meetings. We can also create a written document specific to your child and their tutoring. Reports require time to discuss with you the content, style, and with whom the report will be shared. Reports require a 2-week window, especially around report card time and the end of the year.
