Tutoring
GPS offers a wide range of tutoring options to suit the needs of schools, parents and students. Tutoring plays a vital role in the educational process. Our tutors are highly experienced, educated individuals committed to your student' s success. They can help students set goals for improvement and have high expectations about meeting those goals.
Our tutoring program is a research-based, supplemental program designed to improve math and reading skills; build confidence and ensure academic success, enhance classroom performance, and increase scores on standardized tests.
Our in-school tutoring program takes place during the school day, and is a supplemental educational program that has a proven track record of improving both the academic perfomance of struggling students, as well as behavioral issues within the classroom setting by assisting the development of a more positive attitude towards learning. This program is a school-wide initative and is not available at the private level.
We also offer private tutoring for individuals who are not offered in-school tutoring by their district, or who want to ensure that their student has every advantage to ensure success academically. These sessions can be conducted at our office in Farmington Hills, or another mutally agreed upon location.
GPS is also an authorized SES program provider.If you are a school that is required to provide SES, let us show you how our program is structured to provide superior results. If your student attends a school that is required to provide SES turoring services, ask how you can choose GPS as your student's provider.
Our highly qualified staff will administer a comprehensive assessment in order to determine each child’s ability in reading and math. The child’s cognitive skills are also assessed to establish a realistic expectation for students, teachers and parents. Based upon these results, an individualized learning program is developed specifically for each student.
The GPS tutoring model focuses on academics and life skills by integrating activities and other interpersonal techniques.
