Why use a private tutor?
When struggling with school, your student may be indicating that he or she processes information differently from other students and would benefit from an individualized learning model tailored by an educational specialist at Chappaqua Learning Center to your child's specific needs.
​
Not all children learn best in a traditional classroom environment. Because a teacher must divide his or her attention among all students, the child who needs help the most may not receive the individual assistance.
One-on-one Tutoring is often the best solution for those who have difficulty learning in a classroom setting. Studies indicate that children who have received assistance from a tutor are more likely to show improvement in their academic performance.
Our tutors will not only help your student master the subject matter with which he or she struggles, but will also help your child with study skills and methods needed in other subjects as well. With the help of a Chappaqua Learning Center tutor, your child will receive customized.
