The Learning Center of Richmond

Steps to Enroll in The Learning Center

Schedule Pre-Service Testing

Typically, our initial work with each student involves a parent and teacher questionnaire that is followed by diagnostic testing. In order to assess client strengths and weaknesses, plan the most appropriate program; provide an objective basis for comparison during and after educational services, an educational evaluation is a prerequisite for entrance into TLC Programs. (A $25.00 deposit is required to hold the testing time and is applied to the testing fee.) A written report and a consultation to discuss the results are included in our educational assessment.

Meet with the Learning Center Staff to Review Assessment

We use the data gathered from testing to tailor an individual learning program for each client. Parents and guardians are then informed of the resulting plans through a conference. During the conferences, test results, and an initial individual instruction plan, with suggested time recommendations are offered.

Establish Tutoring Times

Time recommendations will be offered at the assessment review conference. While we cannot guarantee individual student success, research has shown that intensive bombardment of the brain produces more rapid change. If an intensive program is not possible or considered necessary, TLC will work with the family and tutor to develop an appropriate schedule. (A minimum of two sessions per week are recommended as a baseline.)
