| Place of Instruction |
Crown primarily works in the family’s
own home overcoming any potential transportation
issues the family may have. If necessary,
Crown will find an alternate location such
as school, a library, community center or
relative’s home. |
Located only at the particular learning center of the company. Creates transportation
issues for families that may have limited
transportation. Inconvenient. |
| Time
of tutoring |
Crown tutors schedule tutoring sessions
with each family finding times that are
conducive to the family’s schedule
|
Times are dictated by the tutoring company
with little to no flexibility for the family.
|
| Tutoring content
|
Crown primarily uses the student’s
homework as the core curriculum for helping
students succeed in their classrooms. Some
supplemental aids may also be used, especially
if a child is significantly behind in particular
subject areas. Crown is also able to help
children with standardized test taking.
A tailored academic plan is designed for
each student. |
Set curriculum that is in addition to
the student’s homework at school.
Little to no individualization of instruction
is offered. Creates a further burden on
a child that is already behind by adding
to the work the child must comprehend and
complete. |
| Type of instruction
|
One-on-one instruction is the very best
way to help children who are behind discover
the learning styles and methods that can
catch them up. |
Groups of students in a learning center
with a set curriculum and little time for
individualized instruction or help. |
| Contact with student’s
school |
All Crown tutors are encouraged to contact
the student’s teachers, to work hand-in-hand
with them and create a program oriented
toward the student’s needs. Crown
has successfully worked with school districts
tutoring children under special arrangements
and helping them pass classes or grades
they otherwise would have failed. |
No contact with a student’s current
teachers. |
