RISING ABOVE TUTORING
One-on-One Tutoring
The Rising Above Tutoring Program uses the proven Orton-Gillingham approach which engages a multitude of the children’s senses. We also provide a nurturing and loving atmosphere where students know that they are valued and loved – a key ingredient to success.
With your support, these children can rise above their challenges to reach their full potential.
Our goal is for all our students to have a genuinely positive learning experience in elementary school and gain a strong foundation for success in their high school education and in life.
Our Students receive:
- Regular one-on-one tutoring in reading, writing and math using the Orton-Gillingham approach
- A healthy snack and time to play before each tutoring session
- The chance to attend field trips throughout the year
- Opportunities to participate in Family Gatherings with all the students from the tutoring program
Our students are referred to this program by their teachers or school counselors. When they are referred, they are usually 2 years behind in school.
VUM currently has trained tutors operating in 2 schools in East Vancouver.
Training for tutors takes place at the beginning and in the fall of each year.
