Learning Support for Your Child is Here!

The last two years of school have been challenging. And what we have learned thus far is the resilience of fantastic educators, schools, and of course, our kids. While there have been hurdles, this is understandable; we have never dealt with a pandemic (!).

Here are a few signs that may mean your child needs some learning support:

  • They seem frustrated, more so than ever, and are vocally sharing that they cannot understand a specific subject
  • Their teacher has expressed that your child may have a learning challenge

Learning Support comes in many different forms:

NYC has it all, from intensive tutoring for those experiencing learning challenges to those who offer coaching and enrichment classes to help children fulfill their highest potential. Some tutoring and enrichment programs provide scholarships, so make sure to check out what they offer to decide which service is the best fit. There is assistance out there, once you have chosen your resource, reach out to plan out your child’s education guidance and support!
