AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS & TUTORING

Who we are:

Jay's Learning Center is a learning center that provides one-on-one and group tutoring for all general education areas. We also offer preparatory classes for standardized tests and specialize in remedial Mathematics and English for all grade levels. We strive to help our students strengthen their skills for crucial achievement tests, such as the FCAT, SAT, ACT and CLAST.

Our Approach:

Tutoring not only aids students in need of educational guidance, but also enhances the skills of those who plainly seek to continue on a successful path. We provide supplemental education for students who are struggling with their curriculum as well as those seeking enrichment. We encourage parental involvement and positive reinforcement with the use of daily progress reports that help keep track of both accomplishments and areas in need of improvement. Students and parents alike will be able to access these reports, for accurate accounts of their extracurricular development! We believe in rewarding our students with emphatic encouragement and a sincere confidence in their capacity to succeed. A preliminary Diagnostic Test is administered for each student, as our tutors are dedicated to accommodating their individual needs, and to working toward the betterment of their academic performance by building on their strengths. The one-on-one tutoring program provides personalized attention intended to improve knowledge, confidence and motivation.
