3. What is the difference between academic therapy and tutoring?
Answer:
Tutoring focuses on helping students with specific subjects, such as improving their math grades. Academic therapy goes deeper by addressing the root causes of learning challenges, such as focus, memory, or problem-solving difficulties.
At EdieLovesMath, we specialize in academic therapy, which includes:
- Personalized plans based on the student’s strengths and challenges.
- Building skills for long-term success, not just immediate improvement.
- Focusing on both academic content and executive functioning skills.
Our goal is to empower students to thrive in and out of the classroom.
4. How do I know if my child needs academic therapy instead of tutoring?
Answer:
Academic therapy may be a better fit if your child struggles with more than just understanding subject material—such as difficulty focusing, organizing their thoughts, managing time, or retaining information
Academic therapy helps address underlying learning challenges by developing critical executive functioning skills while teaching academic content. If your child has ADHD, Autism, or a learning disability, academic therapy can provide tailored support to help them thrive.
