AERO ONLINE TUTORING PROGRAM

AERO ONLINE TUTORING PROGRAM AVAILABLE YEAR ROUND

All of the benefits of AERO tutoring are also available through online tutoring. Year-round, AERO provides early intervention to students who are at-risk for or who are experiencing reading difficulties as well as enrichment programs for students with grade level academic skills.

AERO ONLINE 1:1 READING SESSIONS

Trained and screened tutors are able to provide your student with 30 minute 1-on-1 sessions, using curriculum and instruction designed around your student’s particular needs. We currently serve children in grades PreK-8^thin reading. All intervention programs are evidence-based and have been identified as effective approaches to reading instruction. Based on assessment results and needs, an individualized instructional plan is implemented.

Tutoring is available in 20-tutoring session blocks with an additional pre and post assessment session, meeting at a minimum twice a week. All students must complete an assessment session to begin the program which will be done the first session. Students need at least 20 sessions to see gains from tutoring; the 22nd session is for post assessment and reporting. For optimal results we recommend 64 total sessions. Sessions fill up quickly. Session scheduling times are Monday through Friday beginning at 8:30 a.m. with our last session beginning at 4:30 p.m.

FAQs

What are the technology requirements?

To participate in our online tutoring program, you’ll need a laptop or computer with: a microphone and webcam, an Intel or AMD processors with 2.0 GHz or above, at least 4GB RAM, the latest release of the Chrome browser, at least 8 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload speeds, a quiet place for your student to work, a nearby adult to resolve any technical or behavioral issues, and depending on which curriculum you student is placed in, a small whiteboard with dry-erase markers and an eraser.

Will my student always have the same tutor?

Our practice is to have students work with one or two tutors for sake of continuity; however, to meet our commitment to keep to your agreed-upon schedule, we reserve the right to assign a different tutor. (Even tutors get sick sometimes.).

Can we reschedule missed sessions?

If you learn about a conflict in advance of a scheduled session, we will reschedule your student’s session with no charge. Please provide as much notice as possible to help us provide you with a convenient makeup time; however, if you provide less than four hours notice, we will not be able to refund or reschedule the missed session.
