Bridging Academic Gaps with Customized Instruction: The Learning Room Approach


We have so many new members of our community we thought it was time we re-introduce ourselves and share in detail what we do here at The Learning Room.


Are you a concerned parent witnessing your child's academic struggles? Are their test scores lagging behind by one, two, or even three years? The Learning Room understands your and your child's challenges, and we are here to provide a unique and effective solution. Let's delve into The Learning Room's distinctive methodology that has enabled us to achieve remarkable academic growth despite considerable challenges.

Understanding the Foundation: Customized Instruction and Unique Assessment


At The Learning Room, we firmly believe that every student's learning journey is unique. Our approach centers around customizing instruction based on our exclusive assessment process. Unlike traditional grading systems, our assessments go beyond simple overall scores. They pinpoint specific strengths and weaknesses within subjects like math and reading. Armed with this invaluable information, we strategically tailor our instruction to address the core obstacles hindering academic progress.





Our Success Story: Accelerated Growth Through Assessment


Customized instruction leads to accelerated growth with our online academic coaching

The true power of our assessment-driven approach becomes evident when you see it in action. Let's consider a real-life example: a sixth-grader struggling with multiplication, a common challenge. While the student, her mother, and teachers identified multiplication as the obstacle, our assessment revealed that her struggle actually stemmed from a second-grade understanding of place value. By focusing on the root issue, we accelerated her progress, and she overcame multiplication with ease, ultimately achieving sixth-grade math proficiency in just two months.


In another inspiring case, a homeschooled fourth-grader entered our program with a second-grade math level. With only two hours of weekly math instruction, she achieved over two years of academic growth in a single year. The remarkable aspect? We were her sole math instruction provider, proving our approach's efficacy even in such scenarios.


Expertise and Whole Child Approach: Catalysts for Success


Our highly trained staff, composed of experienced teachers, plays a pivotal role in our students' growth. These professionals bring their classroom expertise to our program, ensuring our students receive instruction that aligns with school standards and expectations. We take it a step further by adopting a holistic "whole child" approach.


We recognize that academic struggles often stem from mindset and time-management challenges. By addressing these aspects in conjunction with industry-leading lessons, we not only boost academic performance but also foster a positive relationship with learning.


Beyond Academics: Enhancing Confidence and Well-being


Our impact extends beyond academic growth. A transformed approach to learning has the potential to reshape a student's entire outlook. We've witnessed cases where students' improved academic performance led to better communication, reduced stress, and enhanced peer relationships. This comprehensive approach contributes to a harmonious family dynamic, alleviating the stress that academic challenges can create.


Who We Are and What We Offer:


At The Learning Room, we are a team of education experts dedicated to providing high-quality, one-on-one support to our students. We firmly believe that a combination of targeted, intentional instruction, combined with academic coaching, mindset coaching, and skill-building, is the key to helping students succeed.


Our staff members each have areas of specialty, such as Math, Reading, Writing, and more. We work with students across the K-12 spectrum, ensuring that they receive the specialized support they need.


What is Academic Coaching?


Academic coaching, as we practice it at The Learning Room, goes beyond simply teaching, instructing, and tutoring. It is a blend of mindset coaching, skill-building, problem-solving, and rigor-building that empowers students to move through challenges more effectively. When combined with Academic Instruction, as we offer, children have everything they need to learn, grow, and excel for a lifetime of learning.


Who We Help:

We work with a diverse range of students and address various goals and needs, including:


1. Closing the Gap: We help students who are struggling or falling behind their expected grade level by helping to close large gaps of understanding.


2. Unique Learning Needs: We assist students with unique learning needs, such as those with learning disabilities, ADHD, or unique learning styles.


3. Gifted Students: We work with gifted students who need more of a challenge than what they are currently receiving.


4. Busy Families: Many of the families we work with have successful entrepreneurs who need specialized support tailored to their lifestyle and needs.

Tailored to Your Child and Family's Needs:

We understand that every family has unique circumstances. No matter what your family's needs are, we are here to help. We complete a comprehensive initial assessment to create a customized plan that meets your child and family's needs. During this assessment, we discuss your child's goals, needs, strengths, and growth opportunities to determine how we can best help them succeed.


We understand that more tutoring, a new curriculum, changing schools, or simply trying harder won't work for every student. That's why our team of experts is here to help your child reach their goals and support them every step of the way. Unlike most programs, our approach directly addresses and strengthens foundational gaps rather than continuing to build on a weak foundation.


While many other programs focus on surface-level "activity completion," we go beyond the task at hand to address what the learner doesn't understand. We coach our students on problem-solving, mindset, rigor, and skill-building to help them become stronger lifelong learners. Our comprehensive and individualized approach is the way that students achieve actual, tangible, long-term results.
