Q: When is tutoring available at Bartelt Education
Center?
A: The Bartelt Education Center is open Monday through
Thursday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Assessment testing is available on Friday's and
mornings by appointment.
Q: What's the first step that I should take to get
my child some help?
A: The first step is to schedule your child
for an interview and our Diagnostic Assessment. This assessment takes about two
hours and allows us to develop an individualized program focused entirely on
your child's needs.
Q: What tutoring options or packages are
available?
A: Our standard tutoring packages consist of 30 hours
of tutoring during a 15-week period. Based on the diagnostic assessment and an
evaluation, the student is assigned a specific teacher with whom they meet for
one-hour tutoring sessions twice a week. These sessions are typically
one-on-one, but two students per teacher is also a very effective arrangement.
Teachers with the proper educational background and experience are chosen based
on the student's needs. We also coordinate with public schools to provide
independent study services for students who need more individualized attention.
Working with the student's teacher from their school district, we provide an
environment where the student can learn good study habits, organization, and
discipline, along with the completion of assigned schoolwork. Students approved
for individualized study can attend the Bartelt Education Center Monday through
Thursday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Q: When is the best time to enroll my
student?
A: Whether your student is behind grade level or ahead
of the class, time is the utmost consideration in helping your student improve.
Our programs are year-round, so you may enroll your student at any time. The
Bartelt Education Center recommends that you enroll your student before the
next report card.
Q: Do I need to provide my own materials for
tutoring?
A: No. Your instructor will provide your student with
the materials that are appropriate for his or her skill level. However,
students who enroll as Independent Study Student bring homework or other
assigned material as needed. Tutoring is a proactive service. It is designed to
facilitate a student's learning and progress from elementary school through
college. Even adult students are encouraged to come. A teacher will, at times,
help a student with homework. However, a teacher will not do a student's
homework. Students should come to tutoring with specific questions for their
teacher.
Q: Why is Bartelt Education Center more effective
than home tutoring?
A: There are several reasons why our
tutoring services are so effective:
- Our Diagnostic Assessment pinpoints your student's
academic problems.
- Our personalized approach to learning maximizes
the benefits your student receives from a variety of instructors and
materials.
- All we ask is that your student attends regularly
and has a commitment to learn.
Q: What Happens If I Don't Attend Tutoring Every
Week?
A: Each student is expected to attend tutoring on a
regular basis each week and should notify his/her teacher before an occasional
absence. We allow for no more that two make up days during their semester.
Q: How are teachers selected?
A: Our
teachers are degreed, credentialed, and experienced. They are carefully
selected based on their educational and teaching background and are experts in
their respective fields. Each student is assigned a teacher who is well
qualified to teach the specific subject the student needs to master. The
Bartelt Education Center is not a "tutor mill". Our teachers are local
professionals who have had extensive experience teaching at all levels.
Q: Are you able to accommodate students with
specific education needs?
A: Yes, our staff is well experienced
in working with students with varying learning disabilities. Having a permanent
staff, we are sensitive to the needs of each student. Please discuss with us
your specific requirements.
Q: What are your financial arrangements?
A: The Bartelt Education Center only accepts direct payment. We accept
cash, check, or major credit cards. If payment is not made in full, other
payment options are available: 2 half payments or 4 monthly payments at no
interest. However, payment is required before instruction is given. A late fee
of $10 is charged if payment is five days past due.
