For parents of any child aged six to 14 that struggles with the basics of reading and math skills, finding affordable summer tutoring can be a challenge.
The Learning Disabilities Association - Fraser South chapter can help by offering individualized one-to-one tutoring at the Delta Manor Education Centre in Ladner.
Your child will be tutored by a specially-trained tutor that works under the
direction and mentorship of an experienced, certified teacher using research based strategies developed to help the child with learning disabilities, ADD or any child having difficulty with reading, writing or math.
The goal of the program is to help the child become a more competent and able learner. A child does not have to be diagnosed as having a learning disability to attend the program.
It is estimated that 10 to 15 per cent of the population has a learning disability, while many others remain undiagnosed and not remediated. The association's programs are designed to help these children by providing early intervention at an affordable cost.
To make it affordable, partial subsidies are available courtesy of the CKNW Orphan's Fund for families in financial need.
Tutoring is available from July 6 to Aug. 28. Students attend monthly twice per week or daily for two-week sets in either July and/or August. Each tutoring lesson is 90 minutes. More information is available at www.ldafs.org or by calling 604-591-5156.
