[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 509305, member: 1967"] Have you looked into a private tutor instead? I tutor students in high school math and get $40 an hour for individualized instruction. You could get a lot of hours of tutoring for $6000! I have worked with students that have gone to a learning center type of remediation and have been told it is not individualized tutoring. One parent told me the student was handed workbooks and was checked on every so often. They said they got a lot more out of the one-to-one instruction that I provided. I would definitely ask a lot of questions before I signed on to any tutoring program that costs $6000. One other thing . . . the money that you are paying does not go to the instructors. I looked into tutoring for one of those places and was shocked to be told they pay tutors $15 an hour! That is nothing compared to what certified teachers get for private tutoring. I laughed and said no thank you. I know that my neighbor who is a media specialist in an elementary school tutors students in reading. I am sure you could find someone like that for private tutoring.
